President Barack Obama: Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium is routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it.
We've become numb to this.
rallsoloContrary to you Nazi Revolutionary Army type arming for the violent overthrow of the American government (as one of your recruiters bragged to a bunch of adult Boy Scout leaders back in the assassination and burn baby burn days of the 1960s), I do not habitually “pack a gat” like a 1930s film noir gangster, although quite a few around me do. Even if I did, I doubt I could react fast enough if someone burst on the scene indiscriminately firing. .The more likely scenario would be as those “god guys with a gun” did in several recent psycho events – realize if they could determine who the shooter was, and were in range, that they would be shot first, if not by the psycho, then by the police who considered him the psycho and didn’t have time to do an interview first..Come back to the real world, instead of a century of bad movies with no relevance.

louieglutzWhy not everyone’s? I may be old, but my odds of dodging or outrunning a knife is a lot better than the same for a bullet.
