Repetition at a daily level would be best if we want to be “really good” and prepared for the surprise attack." …To get “really good” and to get there as soon as possible and to maintain a high state of readiness with your handgun, I highly recommend that you handle the gun EVERY DAY! Most anyone can find 10 or 15 minutes a day that they can set aside to perform dry fire practice drills. Actually the dry fire drills are more important than the live fire training that you do at the range. If you want to get really good, do more dry fire. But, having said this, it is important to know that you still must practice with a handgun with live ammo at the gun range and you must do this on a regular basis. The guy that practices from May to September three times a week is not going to do as well as a person that practices twice a week all year long.… http://www.usacarry.com/how-often-do-i-need-to-practice-to-get-really-good/
The problem is a society which thinks that keeping people disarmed and defenseless is a good thing. If more people were willing and allowed to defend themselves by force of arms (which is a great equalizer in that they work just as well for a 90 pound lady as they do for a 240 pound brute of a man) then not only would there be less such events, but those that were attempted would usually end much quicker and with far less loss of life.
People are allowed to defend themselves with “force of arms”. That they don’t speaks well of their intelligence. If the trained guy with a gun at the door didn’t stop the murderer, who here thinks a few dozen people drinking in a dark bar would have stopped him? Or just done his work for him?
Well, all that training sounds great, but it sure doesn’t sell any guns and will not be part of any republican bill. All they are tasked with by the gunmakers is selling more firepower.
Not to mention that statistics show that more guns equates to more gun violence, as several others have already pointed out (who knew?). But, gun nuts don’t even have a nodding acquaintance with statistics or reasoning; you may recall that 007 “the name is James, Chev James” regularly regugitates the made-up “fact” that people with handguns stop millions of crimes each year.
Jen was presumably joking with the “the Bible says” part, and apparently is unaware that the converse of the well-known “plowshares” passages (two of them — Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3) IS, in fact, in the Bible — read Joel 3:10.

Banning AR-15s would not have done anything. He did not use an AR-15.

6252 dead from gun violence this year. But that is not enough to keep the “pro-life” party from protecting weapons.
