Good, goood, ban all firearms, so when some nutcase pulls another Uvalde there will be nothing stipping all the fairgoers from getting riddled with bullets while the cops bumble around outside of the gates
You mean where the police don't act and instead stand around? Man it almost seems like law enforcement not acting should be the focus not the fact people are unarmed.
Every event like this will have security with the local PD on alert if they call. That's how it's supposed to work - "good guy with gun" often gets shot by police response if you hadn't been keeping track.
I fail to see your logic? The slavecatcher patrols are where the problem lies, so ban a bunch of random stuff? Might as well ban shoes, pants, bags, and people under the age of 44, that would make the fair safer!
as if random civilians with guns wouldn't bumble around more and also shoot the crowd?
Damn, what fair are you going to where people are randomly shooting into crowds? Sounds like you have bigger problems
I was referring to the fair in your hypothetical smartass
I'm not sure if the solution to a psycho firing in a crowded fairground is for amateur shooters to also fire in a crowded fairground at whomever they think is the instigator.
Very cool internet stranger! Nobody said that was the solution to anything
Someone certainly implied it.
