I have a money-making idea.

For about the 4th time in the last couple months I have heard an American making the case that the way to reduce gun death/injury is MORE guns not less. Like when that dude shot up the movie theater, things wouldn't have been so bad if a lot more average Americans there had been armed. The idea being that they all would have pulled their guns and eliminated the threat before all the damage could be done.

When I hear that kind of talk it makes me wonder what it is like in their heads and I can only deduce they view average Americans as some kind of comic book superheros. They are coordinated, focused. Nothing is misinterpreted. No one has bad judgement or is a bad shot. They are in telepathic contact with each other and they know who are the proper Americans and who most certainly are NOT.

Which brings me to my money-making idea. Someone should create and market AVERAGE AMERICANS comic books. Each edition is a new tale of average Americans coming together in amazing and heroic ways. The stories could basically be ripped from the day's headlines - except with happy perfect endings - because of the exploits of Average Americans. I can picture it.

People would buy that.



I'm kind of joking but I'm kind of not.

Very difficult to discern a man randomly shooting people as a threat. Takes special training for that.

Perhaps, you should create a police superhero comic book as well since police officers/after-the-fact responders are not susceptible to the flaws of average Americans. Of course, police officers are always excellent shots as well. Just ask the nine bystanders shot by police at the Empire State Building last month.
 
One interesting fact about the Empire State Building shootings is that the 9 bystsnders were not shot directly by police.

Some police rounds struck flowerpots and other objects around which caused the rounds to fragment. The fragments are what wounded the bystanders.
 
Dafty relax! Seriously your thin skin has not appeared much of late with snide remarks that were aimed at you or randomly by accident hit you!

no. thats why i asked the question. your 'but' below seems to imply you think so tho.

But it is very possible that one missed round could have injured more than one person.

who cares? 3 bullets directly hit 3 bystanders
