Yes, in the event that you're in an active shooter situation, having a gun gives you the opportunity to defend yourself. But being in that situation at any point in your life is extremely unlikely, and its actually far more likely that an accidental death could occur. I'm guessing you'll "kek" again if I share those stats with you, so I won't bother. I'm sure you're the most responsible gun owner in the world, as everyone claims to be. If it makes you feel safe, go ahead. But when millions of people arm themselves due to fear of an unlikely situation, we see countless people die instead. Its the grim reality I'm sure you'll "kek" at.

Ok, that's your opinion. The research stands. and...? They're offering suggestions for solutions based upon their research. They're Ph.Ds, that's kinda what they do. It's not actually, its one of their findings. They found that having a gun in the car was one of the factors when looking at who was more likely to commit acts of road rage. Instead of looking at it as a generalization of gun owners as bad people, look at it like this: having a gun emboldens angry people to do violence. If you'd like to disagree with the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, go ahead. I won't argue on behalf of them to try to change your mind. And besides that, the idea that "an armed society is a polite society" doesn't make sense. There are more guns than people in the country. If I'm in a confrontation with someone in virtually any place in the country, there is always the risk that they could pull out a gun and shoot me. Yet somehow, with all of those hundreds of millions of guns in circulation, we're still not a "polite society". Canada sure seems more polite than us, even with significantly less guns per capita. How many more guns would it take to get to the point where guns are a deterrent to violence in the way that Major Caudill describes? Its empty platitudes and "what ifs" that are meant to make you feel better, nothing more. There are plenty more articles that use examples other than road rage, they prove essentially the same point and you'll have no problem finding them.

That's a very poetic view of gun culture, and one that a lot of gun owners possess because of the pride it gives them. An armed society is not a polite society, at least not according to research. These studies have shown that violence is more likely to occur in the presence of a firearm.

Does a conversation about gun control count as on-topic, since we're using this case as an example for possible solutions? Just want to make sure.

Florida gun laws are infamously loose. The suspect in this case apparently bought his guns legally, so its probable that he bought them in-state. This is the third time that someone under FBI investigation has bought guns legally and used them in mass killing (See: San Bernandino and Charleston mass shootings). We DEFINITELY need a federalized and efficient system for vetting potential gun buyers. At the very least to stop known terror suspects from getting freaking AR-15s, but also the great suggestions you mentioned.

You're just framing it in a different light. You're using the words "responsible, law-abiding, gun owning citizens" while completely ignoring the reality of the kinds of people that are currently allowed to own and carry guns. Please explain what you imagine a preferable solution would be. A handful of concealed carry guys in that nightclub, not drinking and not dancing? What are they doing there, just sitting around waiting for ISIS to roll in? Firearm responsibly and alcohol don't mix, so I'm guessing that's what you mean? Actually...you literally just said my point. I support stricter gun laws nation-wide, so that criminals in Chicago can't drive out of the city and buy a gun. And also, they don't commit their crimes in Chicago because no one has guns there. I'd at least like to see evidence for that, it sounds like you're assigning motive to crimes because it fits the classic NRA narrative. Its far more logical that they commit crimes in the city because thats where they live.

In order for that to work, there would have to be guns every night in every nightclub across the country. And if its not a nightclub, its a retirement home. if its not a retirement home, its a school. We can't escape our vulnerability by saying "ah, if only they had guns". Because that's an argument for putting guns EVERYWHERE. SO lets say we do that. How many drunk people in nightclubs accidentally shoot themselves or people around them? How many people's guns get stolen as they're dancing? Honestly, its a silly suggestion. And you're aware that in the case of Chicago, guns come from out of the city limits where gun laws are looser, right? Chicago isn't a case study for less gun control, its a case study for more.

Please look up images of "gay night club", and explain how a dozen concealed handguns in that room will make everyone safer.

Downloaded the new LSPDFR, Scripthook, and Ragehook. My game crashes when I try to load it, either through Ragehook or just through steam. I'm guessing at this point other people have fixed this, how?

Same issue here.

That's a really great attitude to have

I'm making a skin pack of all of the police departments in my area, and I'm using PHotoshop. How can I find the right fonts ot use? Here's a few examples:

Its a dangerous job for sure, but that's also why a lot of cops choose to do it. If it was just handing out parking tickets, I doubt we'd see so many people signing up to do it. We should be thankful that they chose that line of work, but that doesn't mean we should have blood lust for every idiot that decides to throw a punch at them. Justice was served in this case, I couldn't ask for a better outcome.

JUST got my new vehicle fleet in-game....ugh...
