Suppose you are in a darkened room with 20 armed people and you. You are the only one not armed.
Who gets shot first?
Who survives?
Think about it for a minute.
Have it yet?
The 20 armed men likely get shot first.
You survive.
Why?
The 20 armed men aren't worried about the unarmed man because he doesn't have a gun. They are more worried about the men with guns because they represent a threat. So, they go after each other.
But you...you are trying to get out of the way of the 20 armed men and survive. So, your first reaction is to hide, move, dodge and stay out of the way of the gunfire. You might get shot by accident but not intentionally because they are shooting at each other to eliminate the higher threat.
In short, your goal is to survive.
They all shoot each other until there are 2 or 3 left and then they really aren't worried about you but the last couple armed people. You escape. You live. You survive.
And you aren't armed.
So, how does arming everyone make people safer?

Not My Name,
I know what you boys are up to so I'd like to hear different responses from each of you rather than hiding as a collective and pretending to be one person. It was a nice try being clever but it didn't work.
Seriously, you can't just stand on your own? It has to be a group? Tsk tsk...typical bullies:)So much for the power of the individual!
Then when there are two or three left, they form an alliance. Looking towards you they decide you are their slave and you spend the rest of your days servicing their every need.
Great plan genius.
First, I want to hear from you how a background check would've stopped Nancy Lanza from buying the guns she did.
Until you answer that, you have nothing worth listening to. [An admission that you've been talking out your ass would be acceptable.]
you spend the rest of your days servicing their every need.
Of course you would answer it that way, GD. Because all of us would simply cower in fear and not think of escaping:)
juris, it's a new year so that means I respond and answer how I want to which means I'm not taking any more shit from you guys. You respond how you want to and I don't really care what you post or don't post. Moreover, the fact that you guys are so obsessed with me "not winning by default" tells me that you are far more worried about me than I am about you guys (even less, now, after the last election and your heartless and thoughtless reaction to Newton). So, really, I'm the one with all the power, here. It is my site, after all.
Time to become Biff Tannen now:)
So you were, and are, lying and you know it when you claim - repeatedly - that a background check would've caught Nancy Lanza's gun purchases.
If you would just be honest about that I could actually respect you.
But you trust that they will come up with something.
I like when you actually realize you have made yourself look foolish.
Well since you were creating a little fantasy world where ten people with guns would, without doubt, shoot each other.
I've been in darkened rooms with multiple armed people, nobody got shot. Wonder why that is?
You're right, juris. I was wrong. Not Biff Tannen...Joan Collins.
LIAR!! LIAR!!
What is the PURPOSE of the Second Amendment as stated by the men who put it in the Constitution? (This is an open book question. Feel free to look up the answer.)
So, really, I'm the one with all the power, here. It is my site, after all.
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
or should that just be a little Dr. Evil chuckle?
Anytime I'm not welcome, say the word.
What an idiotic scenario! And you accuse US of having paranoid fantasies! Sheesh…
Not My Name,

What the heck are you talking about?

Yes. But just like the kid who is losing, taking his ball and going home says a lot more about him than the people he was playing with.....
You're always welcome, juris. Just don't expect me to respond when you are being a wanker.
He doesn't know, he's obviously drunk or stoned. Without a doubt, that's the stupidest gunfight scenario conceived outside of a 4-year old's head that I've ever heard. The only possible answer is, "Don't be such a fucking dumbass!" My grandmother would've said it more politely, but even Mark would get the point, bless his little heart.
taking his ball and going home
And yet I'm still posting every day...hmmm...
As if some idiot kid with his eyes closed, fingers stuck in his ears, chanting, "La-la-la, I can't hear you!" and ignoring serious, thoughtful questions is actually taking part in a "discussion".
Without a doubt, that's the stupidest gunfight scenario conceived outside of a 4-year old's head
I was thinking more like Tarantino.
Why are there 20 armed men and one unarmed man in a darkened room? Why would anybody start shooting? Why don't they just leave? Or are all of the 20 armed men murderous psychopaths? Who turned out the lights?
Given the crack-brained scenario, I'd have to say no survives. No one gets shot, either. The only psychopath is the fruitcake who locked them in the room and turned out the lights. Unable to escape, they run out of oxygen in several hours and asphyxiate. And Nikto pleasures himself to orgasm with the thought that he's rid the world of 20 mass-murdering gun-owners without any risk to himself. He's a frikkin' hero in his own mind, he is. And Mark start bleating about the need for common sense door-lock restriction.
Maybe more like a 12-year old Tarantino wannabe… who's been sniffing glue. Or possibly a fan of the Saw series.
Imagine a world without gun. It's easy if you try.
Here's a money quote:
"Lots of people like to mindlessly chant that violence is never the answer, but when the chanters dial 911 they aren’t hoping that a philosopher or ethicist shows up to try and convince the bad man to cease being bad. They want a dude with a gun.
And a classic
Why the gun is civilization.
Money quote for Mark:
"In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some."
And an uber post from TSM, special for Mark.
Those without swords can still die.
