Close, but I bet the NRA position on this will be to arm every fireman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to say I was gob-smacked at the NRA's press conference about the recent school shootings, not our fault armed guards on the schools is the correct response .........................    WTF .........

It does make me wonder what their response would be if a nutter went on the rampage at an NRA conference (or other large gathering). It's about the one place where you can pretty much guarantee that every sod in the room would be armed and I suspect the body count would be massive due to the confusion that would follow.

You know I think you're probably right. Despite the obvious issue with taking a loaded firearm into an area where the air temperature may be over 100 degrees cee. I would almost certainly be the biggest 'innocent bystander' death toll ever. I'm kind of reminded of the guy who decided to kill someone at the Empire State Building a while back. He shot the guy he was going after, then shot himself. The police turned up, started shooting in a panic (and they're supposedly trained marksmen) and hit 9 bystanders without even scratching the guy they were supposedly aiming at.

You might want to read bratty's post again, Mark. I thought it was quite amusing.  :p  :etc: Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry I'll behave now. Promise
