Misuse of Guns in falls church

[Anonymous]

Do We need to create some special laws for gun owners in Falls Church?


On 9/20 a Falls Church High School student walked in and out of the school with a gun. Was ultimately arrested somewhere off campus.

On 9/24 a Falls Church Skyline Area resident walked into a Haymarket church with a gun and was somehow identified and arrested before terrorizing 1000 people at the Park Valley church.

Just to be clear, these incidents involved people from the FC areas of Fairfax County, not Falls Church City. Are you suggesting special laws for all the citizens of Fairfax County or just those residing in the Falls Church area of the county?

Falls Church City just had a carjacking attempt Sunday at 7pm.

Wasn’t one of your examples “misuse of guns in Haymarket”?

I’m on board with implementing gun control restrictions in all locations. Not sure why you’re choosing to focus on incidents in one particular area.

It’s not illegal to carry a gun, open or concealed, in a church in VA. Was he brandishing? The school case would be illegal since you can’t have a gun on or near school grounds.

that’s probably not a good idea. Maybe it’s time for new laws requiring metal detectors at entrances of school and religious properties since these are well known targets.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a person in another state looking at social media posts and contacting a responsive police department that reaches out to another responsive police department.

That was an odd explanation of how they caught him. I doubt it was completely random.

Why on earth would ANYONE need a gun in a place of worship?

Insanity.

Right. Because mosques and synagogues have never been attacked by armed militant lunatics.

Grow up.

So the solution is another armed militant lunatic? Who is a paranoid legend in his own mind? How is that helping anything?

Who said I was proposing a solution? And why do you inject another “armed militant” who is also a “paranoid legend”? You realize there are something like 25 million CCPs currently issued in the US. Virtually 0.0% of those people are what you’ve made up here.

In any event, you’re the one who posted something stupid, namely a claim that a weapon would NEVER be needed in a place of worship. That’s demonstrably false. And in fact, statistically a church, mosque or synagogue is pretty close to the top of the list where a defensive weapon would be most likely to be needed.

Those are facts. I didn’t invent the world. But sticking your head in the sand is not even an attempt at a solution.

To protect yourself from other people with guns in a place of worship, obviously. That's freedom. In contrast, tyranny would be if you didn't need a gun in a place of worship to protect yourself from other people with guns in a place of worship.

(Nobody actually believes this except a small minority of gun nuts, yet here we are.)

Great. You can now explain to me how to remove 330 million guns from US citizens to create the scenario you’ve described. If it’s remotely plausible (it won’t be) I’d support it 100%. Until then, I’m carrying.

Actually, toots, that was my first post in the thread.

The problem we have with this country is too many phucking guns and too many phucking legends in their own minds with guns.

I vote for confiscation of them all.
