[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Actually, I have been robbed. My car's been broken into twice. I've had people accost me for money on three occasions (two of them in front of a police station, so that didn't go very far at all). But I still don't want a gun. As for Columbine, that's not what happened. "As Gardner steps out of his patrol car, Eric Harris turns his attention from shooting into the west doors of the High School to the student parking lot and the deputy. Garnder, visible in the brigfht yellow shirt of the community resource office's uniform, is the target of Harris' bullets. Harris fires about 10 shots at the deputy with his rifle before the weapon jams. Garnder fires four shots at Harris. Harris spins hard to his right and Gardner momentraily thiks he has hit him. Second later, Harris begins shooting again at the deputy. Although Gardner's patrol car is not hit, two vehicles that he is parked behind are hit by Harris' gunfire. Investigators later find two bullet holes in each of the cars." [URL=http://www.iwannabefamous.com/columbine/File2.htm]Columbine Report/Timeline[/URL] Hardly shooting through glass, there was a clean line of sight and fire, especially if Harris could have hit the cars in front of Mr. Gardner. Face it: there was a man on the scene with a gun, and even if he arrived too late to stop it from beginning, he wouldn't have been able to stop it. First, you're talking about killing a man over a few dollars in your wallet. You're willing to take a life over a handful of paper ... ? Yes, you would be charged with a murder, and rightly so. It would be different if the guy actually started shooting at you. And I'm not talking about police or soldiers. God knows they have difficult enough jobs -- but the soldiers are carrying their weapons in foreign countries, and so not applicable to a discussion about civilian gun use. And police officers are WELL TRAINED in how/when to use their firearms. [/QB][/QUOTE]
