[/quote]

We need both. And I’d bet my life savings that guys gun wasn’t acquired legally. [/quote]

What gun?[/quote]

The one the perpetrator said he had. [/quote]

There. Was. No. Gun.

If there had been, it would’ve been seen. [/quote]

So if someone threatens you with a gun but doesn’t pull it, you’re supposed to assume that he doesn’t have one? That seems like a really bad idea. [/quote]

What are you going to do, tough guy? Pull out your gun and shoot him? [/quote]

I don’t own a gun. I’m not sure what your point is. If someone says they have a gun, the prudent thing to do is believe them. [/quote]

Why believe a criminal? What makes them credible?

If someone HAS a gun, they don’t need to imply anything- they just pull it out.

The only people making threats to pull out a gun are the people who don’t have one and are bluffing. [/quote]

Especially in Arlington. I am not sure there is even a 2A supporter in the county, let alone private ownership of guns.[/quote]

Nice try, but Arlington has a gun store that the feds have identified as one of the leading suppliers of guns used in crimes:

That doesn't mean the owner is selling to Arlington residents. You do know that stores can sell to customers from outside the county right? I mean, that's a thing.[/quote]

We moved to Arlington last year and I have been SHOCKED by my how many of my the parents at my kid’s elementary school have admitted to owning guns.  Most (though not all!) are quick to say they’re kept safely, locked away, etc.  A few weeks ago, one dad noted that he would sometimes have unloaded guns out because he wants his 7 year old kid to be comfortable with them.

Arlington residents also claim that they aren't racist. It's pretty clear they have a loose relationship with the truth.[/quote]
