Guns make everyone just a little bit more stupid, and racists more racist. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #86

Putting the gun issue aside that we agree on, if the guy was white we arent talking about NoJusticeNoPeace Jan 2015 #131

I didn't read anywhere where the white guy was "astonished". SHRED Jan 2015 #40

What racist arrogance. I hope they fine him heavily. kwassa Jan 2015 #43

It was as much as to do with the fear of the gun as race. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #45

No, it was fear of a black man with a gun. kwassa Jan 2015 #48

Yes, it was exactly that. HappyMe Jan 2015 #59

Yes. No gun, no incident. Race played a part, the gun another, fear media another. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #90

"he should have broken his damn arms..." hack89 Jan 2015 #49

No idea what you are saying. None. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #55

You advocate violence against gun owners. What level of violence is acceptable to you? hack89 Jan 2015 #57

Again no idea how you get from A to Z. Your logic is imperfect. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #63

So tackling gun owners in public is not a violent act? It is not assault? hack89 Jan 2015 #73

No idea what you are saying for the third time...Is there an "attempt" limit? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #75

Do you think people should tackle gun owners in public? nt hack89 Jan 2015 #79

I say, with all the politness I can muster sarisataka Jan 2015 #107

Again, no idea what you are talking about........ Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #117

Mr. Daniels is lucky to be alive! MoonRiver Jan 2015 #47

Was he more in fear of the gun being flashed, accidently, or the person? Is the evidence clear on Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #62

I seriously doubt that guy was an anti-gun vigilante. MoonRiver Jan 2015 #66

I agree with that, was another frightened American on high alert for terrorists. Being black was Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #72

My goodness, what is this world coming to? nt MrScorpio Jan 2015 #78

IMHO, the fault, dear Brutus, lies in our INSANE GUN LAWS. Carrying a gun in a store?? WTH?! WinkyDink Jan 2015 #106

So why not simply notify store security? hack89 Jan 2015 #108

Oh, I 100% agree with you! But the LAW would have Security do NOTHING. WinkyDink Jan 2015 #114

Yep. Concealed gun owner is legal, so the gun holder walks away and sues the mall..... Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #121

If they were concerned the malls and the stores would simply ban guns on their premises hack89 Jan 2015 #126

So Gun Free Zones DO work? "No Go Gun Zones" by private business?? Link? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #128

Gun Free Zones will never stop someone willing to break the law hack89 Jan 2015 #133

As long as the store permits concealed carry on their premises hack89 Jan 2015 #122
