I see Burt has finally reached his full “whine about how other men aren’t masculine enough on the internet” potential.

If action in the face of the children in your care being murdered is a masculine trait, then I'd like to think I'm fucking Rambo.

The fact that there were apparently four armed cops outside doesn't really negate anyone's talking points, but it does raise a new one: when the fuck did men become such docile, domesticated cowards? It's like people have forgotten that cowardice/bravery aren't amoral concepts.

I've heard a few people try to justify their inaction, but when the children you are assigned to protect are being murdered and you are armed and trained to fight, you fight. There isn't an excuse here.



NRA has to change the talking point to "the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun provided the good guy isn't a pussy".

The "good guy with a gun" argument is a poor one. But cowards aren't good guys (this should be obvious,but it isn't these days), so this doesn't negate the argument in itself. Pointing this out is hardly a change of argument, though yes, the NRA will absolutely use this to try to shift the conversation. That's not what I'm doing, though.

But like I said, none of this negates or strengthens anyone's talking points. It just means that there are a lot of weak cowards out there who won't act even when children are being murdered and they are armed, trained and tasked with protecting them from exactly this sort of thing. Take note next time you rely on the cops to save you.

It should be legal to own an assault weapon but illegal to be a coward.

I'll stick with my baseball bats :D

The argument, that if we get rid of guns, we will just see an increase in knife attacks, has to be my favorite stupid argument. The people who can not understand the difference between someone shooting a gun into a crowd of people, and someone trying to knife a crowd of people... probably shouldn't own a gun to begin with.

You don't bring a knife to a gun fight for a reason, unless youre Bruce Lee, or Geronimo (any Apache for that matter, they were notorious knife fighters)

your use of the term "coward butt" is uncalled for, but I guess some men aren't useless.
