Gunshots disrupt Superdome evacuation

"He also said that during the night, when a medical evacuation helicopter tried to land at a hospital in the outlying town of Kenner, the pilot reported that 100 people were on the landing pad, and some of them had guns"


this is what happens when the majority of people are armed ...yay!! 2nd amendment

Indeed. To be fair though a lot of them may have just looted gun stores.

Because then gun laws wouldn't have made a difference. Unless you ban even the sale of guns to anyone.

That's the plan. I don't know about you, but I would much rather live in a neighbourhood where nobody had guns than in one where everyone had guns.

Ya, not going to happen for a very long time though. Especially if things like hunting and target practice remain popular "sports".
 
I know these people are frustrated and desperate, but shooting at the rescue team isn't a smart idea. What good does scaring the help away do?

I think in Sweden you have to keep different gun parts on different places if you're hunting or target practicing, locked in at all time. Some of the parts have to be kept at the hunting centras/shooting range I think, to make sure you can't use the gun without registering.

Here in Norway you have to be a hunter to own a gun, but you can borrow one at most target ranges.
 
Cpt. Stern, you are scum.

The 2nd Amd is doing its job down there while people are defending their homes! The criminal scum down there are looting left and right, and people with guns are dettering it. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1474628/posts

Oh, and BTW, the super-elete/better-than-everyone-else/"only people who should have guns" police have been seen joining some of the looters.

You make me sick Stern. Libs like you that have the nerve to spin the way you do.

These guns, the 2ndAmd, wich you so demonize is helping save lives right now. You of of course would rather people be helpless victims and die instead. Typical neutered brit. Every human being has the right to life and the right to defend that life and their property.

In situations like these, you would be a fool not to armed, and those who want the people to be dissarmed are aiders of criminals/murderers.

How dare you.

Even tho I'm a gun advocate...I have a shotgun myself...how are they saving lives right now? A police officer was killed and a chopper was shot at.
 
Yup, and dont quote freerepublic, quote somewhere proper.

FEMA are apprently not letting people leave the dome, prisonplanet describes it as a jail, and martial law is in affect apperntly.

I dont think looters should be a prioty while people are still trapped in their homes.

IT's not the guns, it's the hand that weilds it.

People like Cpt. Stern would like everybody but the criminals disarmed(because that's what "Gun banning" does).

I find it sickening, that in a time when people must depend onthemselves for protection, people like Stern would like them to not have the means. As if he has a right to tell a person what their needs are when it comes to their defence.

There's a saying with gun-owners "Dial 9-1-1 and die". In other words, it is a way of saying that the police can't always be there, it is not their job to protect you, and every man is responsable for his own defence. ESPECIAL in times like these -where there are many looters, and the police ar crippled by a catastophy, and you are the only one between your family/property and hoodlems. It is downright criminal to demand people be disarmed victims and at the mercy of mobs.

prepubescent petulant ranting aside thanks for your little tirade on why it's so dangerous in the mean state of ...idaho
 
I belive that those with the guns are keeping the people at bay, preventing looting, just only a few of idiots are opening fire at rescue teams so they can steal themselves some tv's and xboxs. Hopefully the law enforcement and the military come in quickly and take care of the situation.
 
Guns, in the right hands, can save lives. Guns, in the wrong hands, could end them.

So could bricks. Knives. Forks. Box-cutters.
Fists.

Guns could protect an innocent person from all of the above. Especially in a situation where anarchy reigns.
 
No, bricks and knives wouldn't bring the police department to a state of obselecence like the armed gangs roaming the flooded streets have.

So let's take away the guns so the now unarmed mobs can beat each other to death instead of shooting them to death, while leaving the innocent unprotected.

If the mobs beat each other to death, then why are "the innocent" at risk of being harmed?

They just have to run away from the scene, and it's easier to run from a person then from a bullet.
 
I'd like to see someone "beat" a helecopter out of the sky.

Need one hellova big stick.

Because apparently (I just read this) some people are looting gunshops and forming makeshift gangs, and now are on the verge of gang warefare.

From the looks of this, I think this could very well turn into anarchy.

And I read (now this is a rumor, I don't know if it's true) that some of the prisoners they released got out of the groups and looted a flooded police station/armory, and are also forming makeshift gangs.

EDIT: And I saw on PBS, a lady being interviewed said she heard gunshots in the streets, and people were setting fire to buildings after looting them. Anarchy in the US it seems...
 
I can't help but notice how many people are saying that they believe that the guns have saved more lives and property there.
There's nothing to support that belief other than imagined best-case scenarios.

Even if guns were being used to successfully defend property, that means there would have to be injuries and fatalities to at least the looters. Are people being shot in the name of a colour tv? Who knows.

I really do not have much of a problem with guns. They level the playing field for gun owners and gun-owning criminals.
However, criminals without guns get a slight disadvantage while average citizens who don't have guns get a massive disadvantage, because the criminals have the element of surprise and of desperation.

If only the police had the guns, then they would have a much greater ability to do their job. When the criminals have guns too, the police lose a big advantage.

The fact that the stories here would not be nearly as newsworthy if the people were carrying sticks instead makes that much clear.
 
Exactly, guy wielding a stick menacingly at a police officer - ignored, at worst incapacitated.

Guy taking cover behind in a half-flooded store, shooting at police officers - fatal outcome for someone.
 
i read that as cumshots disrupt ejaculation, god there is something wrong with me

Lose the attitude, mate. You just attacked a forum member, police, british people, liberals, anti-gun lobyists and my brain. If you do that again, your account will be banned.
 
^^Iron fist ftw

I think the fact that guns are causing more harm than good in this situation seems pretty clear.
 
Yes but from both sides imo.

I just heard on BBC news 24 a quite alarming report. The reporter said inside the dome a woman went up to a police officer, was quite obviously very ill and very distrested, she was in tears asking the police officer to evacuate them. The police officer pointed his shotgun at her and told her to 'stop'.

There killing looters while people are starving to death?

So what some poor people get a new TV that will be borken soon anyway. MATERIAL PROPERTY IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN LIVES. These guards should be ordered on search and rescue, not protecting the rich.

Yes, well, you would say that. You're a commoner.

/me smokes pipe
 
Ok. Now since most of you dont live in the US please take your antigun rehtoric and shove it. Guns will ALWAYS be in the wrong persons hand. ALWAYS. All you can do is illiminate them from the lawful. Also most of these guns were looted, IE these people didn't buy them, IE they didn't go through the lawful process, which would ave prevented most of them from obtaining a gun in the first place. Prisoners looted a POLICE ARMOURY!!! They are armed with police weapons. So will you ban the police from having guns too?

If i was in this situation, i would want my firearm, and a brick of ammo. Shoot in self defense, but shoot to kill.
 
Shoot to kill who?
I'm assuming that you mean people who would pose a lethal threat. The most lethal threats out there now are the people who looted gun stores.
Paradoxy.

If guns weren't legally avaliable to the public, most of the attempts to loot gun stores would fail because there would be no gun stores. :p

The guns from one police armory pale in comparison to the current level of proliferation.

Again, I'm not all anti-gun. Mostly just anti-concealable-handguns and anti-anything-rapid-fire, as far as the public is concerned.
Bulky, visible hunting rifles are a-ok.
