Wonder why NZ police didn't show up sooner at the mosques? They are UNARMED!

Hey Tweety,

You would have been a BIG-assed target: kiss your sorry ass goodbye! NZ is just one, big target-rich zone incapable of self-defense. Do you know that some of the Muslims disarmed the attacker, but didn't know how to use the weapon they stripped from him? So, he went to his car, got ANOTHER rifle, came back, and killed MORE!

Stupid little boy. All legal guns... therein lies the problem and you
are part of it.

You are a potential shooter and if you think you don't make one big
fucking ugly target you are mistaken.

It's not just the proliferation of guns but the mentality of the
people. Americans do not have the mentality to be safe with guns.
Nevertheless more guns and your extremist views equals more shooters.

He would have popped your head like a melon. :) Anyone can talk the
talk... and I have no reason to think you can do anything else.

...and in case you are wondering, yes I do have firearms training and
yes I am/was a marksman and a member of a shooting team.

Guns don't worry me, it's people like you having access to guns that
worried me. The less that is possible the safer we all are.

Can't admit that the most effective way to take out a mass shooter is to SHOOT HIM, can you? Maybe you would have tried to reason with him by calling him a "fuckwit" or "cuntface" - I would have just shot him.

Stupid little boy. Why are you trying to change the discussion, I
assume you are unable to rebut or refute a single word above.

I have no problem with the police shooting an active shooter including
an arsehole like you if you were stupid enough to let loose and put
others in danger.; but we all know you would have wet your pants and
run home long ago.

No, you would simply have been shot, melon head. You are just a victim
of your own stupidity. Stupid people like you with guns are responsible
for a huge number of deaths in the USA every year.

Trump. All normal Trump supporters with guns, just like you.

Well, you WOULD wet your pants because that's ALL you could do, besides crying your eyes out, begging for mercy. And forget about the police bailing your sorry ass out: didn't happen in NZ, didn't happen in Parkland (they stood outside picking their noses), didn't happen in Jacksonville, etc.

Whereas all your words are those of very scared cowardly loser. That is
pathetic.

Your response to a serious issue is childish and inane. That is because
the issue scares you and you cannot think rationally. You would be the
same if you were caught up in any such situation. You would panic. The
signs are there in all your comments. They are those of a scared little
man whose balls have shrunk and retreated into his stomach. Your words
are as empty as your ballsack.

Cowards carry weapons because they have an inordinate fear on almost
non-existent threats.

Giving cowards access to weapons is why you have the highest firearms
related death rate in first world countries.

Guns in the wrong hands are dangerous. Any country who would let a very
scared and angry old fart like you with the mind of a child have access
to firearms gets what it deserves; a death rate 60 times that of more
responsible countries.

50 people died in NZ, how many thousands die every year in the US due
to firearms or even just "mass shooters"?

I don't have any "libtard" friends. There are people here who share
certain problems with Trump and his idolisers world view but that just
classifies them as decent intelligent human beings who do not and will
not support racism, misogyny, lies and a narcissist.

by the same token no-one in this world supports your inane comments.

Only because you are a thick cunt.

> You,

That is not what I have said. What I have made clear is that more
people like you with access to guns equal more innocent people being
shot. That is a fact.

> You don't even say that the
> POLICE should be armed!

Well you are just a thick cunt so when I said" I have no problem with
the police shooting an active shooter including an arsehole like you if
you were stupid enough to let loose and put others in danger." perhaps
you didn't realise I meant 'with a gun'.

Can I ask, what exactly is your experience of confronting or facing
anyone with a gun.

Let's put some flesh on the bones of your big mouth claims and see if
you are just what you appear to be.

I have been threatened with a gun. Nobody died. If I were you I assume
from you big mouthed cowardly comments someone would have died. I
wasn't that happy about the lad going to prison but presumably from you
big mouthed cowardly comments... if all went as you would hope he would
have died.

So what exactly is your experience that makes you hold such a view?

From your OP "I am more armed than they are, and would have fought back
if I were there."

If you can't join the dots the go SHOUT in the mirror.
(I can explain if you are having trouble, thicko)

I think I have mentioned previously that your persistent SHOUTYNESS
just appears to confirm that you are an angry old man with mental
health issues; a potential shooter for sure.

Well, yes, that would seem normal for a place of worship.

Are you saying that you think mosques should each have an arsenal,
purely for self defence of course? Are you hypocritical enough to

Are you that scared?

No, you say what you claim that you would do. You are just pissing up a
wall. It is easy to make brave claims when you have never been faced
with a situation. You do not know what you would have done because you
were not there. You have proved you are a scared old man, a coward. I
have not seen anything to make your claim believable. You are like a
child fantasising.

I had friends in Vegas when a gun toting country man of yours with an
attitude like yours went on the rampage. They witnessed your fellow
nationals panic a run around screaming while they kept their cool and
did what they were told.

I expect that hundreds of those people panicking and running would
happily have made claims like yours before the event.

The only thing that could have prevented such a massacre was not giving
the angry man such easy access to so many guns and accessories to make
them even more deadly.

I would have put a blanket over your remains so children would not have
had to look at your exploded melon head; other than that I see no point
in speculating.

What is not speculation is how I reacted when I was threatened with a
gun. Also not speculation is that when a friend of mine was caught up
in a suspected terrorist incident in Oxford Street a year or so ago she
called me to come and save her; that is how my friend sees me. Not as
a coward who hides behind self congratulatory words of his own imagined
courage.

The tactical situation is one where an assault rifle armed active shooter who
has been doing live fire tactical practices with his equipment may be confronted
by a civilian with a slow-to-deploy CCW sidearm who's obviously not maintained
his perishable skills and is overconfident in his abilities and tools.

Outgunned, outmaneuvered, out-trained ... it doesn't end well for that
self-proclaimed 'good guy with a gun', nor is there compelling evidence to
suggest that he was even able to fully draw his weapon before he's engaged
and taken down. Case in point, from a controlled study:

Well, yes I would - it's a target of opportunity. In fact, a friend of mine is part of an ARMED security team at his church. They have daily services open to the public, and some strange street people show up. They all have wireless headsets and are constantly scanning the crowd. Churches ARE NOT gun-free (target-rich) zones.

Hey Tweety,

LOL! You are a JOKE! You fail to admit that if you were there, you would have been FUCKED! Everything you have said points to this:
"The only thing that could have prevented such a massacre was not giving
the angry man such easy access to so many guns and accessories to make
them even more deadly."
No, what stops a shooter is ANOTHER shooter. You, of course, wouldn't have put anything over anybody because your SORRY ASS WOULD BE DEAD! You're so fucking dumb you can't even figure that out.
I, on the other hand, would have set up near the door so I could take a head shot as soon as he poked his face thru the door, and he would have had to turned to see me, giving me a second or two to squeeze off 3-4 shots. Someone with a handgun taking on a shooter with a rifle wants to get as close as possible to the target to maximize the mobility of the handgun, and minimize the long-distance accuracy of the rifle. This is just common sense.

Hey Welcher,

How, exactly, are you going to counter-attack an armed assailant w/o a weapon? Throw a Quran at him? And you would be lying dead right next to Tweety.

Yeah, you probably would put up a "No Firearms Allowed" sign, and probably would think that it would work, too.

A few of the Muslims DID successfully counter-attack the shooter, WITHOUT weapons. Unfortunately, they assumed that the police were coming and didn't use the shooter's own weapon against him when he came back with a backup weapon.

This proves that libtards can't be reasoned with. You're only line of reasoning that makes any sense is that the probability of being a part of such an attack is extremely low (but it was 100% for the Muslims in those mosques). The only other justification for not carrying is that you are so incompetent at using the weapon you might just shoot yourself.

You really are in no position to suggest anyone else 'grows up' given
your infantile behaviour and comments.

You name call like you are in a school playground, you SHOUT all the
time in the same vein, you fantasise about being being a hero in your
own lunch hour and you are perpetually scared to the point where you
feel you need to have a gun in order to feel safe in a church. If you
really are that scared you might as well put that gun to your own head
an put yourself out of your misery. You have lost the war on terrorism
when you give in like the coward you clearly are.

Now you even assert that mosques should have arsenal as if that would
go down well with your white nationalist society... in the same week
that your president lent his support to some loud mouth TV pundit who
denigrated a member of your own government for being muslim.

You are the the most dangerous kind of person in society, a man with
the mind of a child in a society which allows angry half wits to own
and carry guns in public.

You refuse to comprehend that you are the problem.

I find it interesting which posts you have replied to and which you
have dodged.

It seems you started this thread as a part of your fantasy of being a
hero.

Here's a REAL situation:

The bottom line is if you are armed you have a CHANCE - if you are unarmed you are a TARGET.

Congratulations at a false equivalency. First off, mosques DON'T have priests. Second, anyone coming thru the door with a firearm and not identifying themselves as police is a target. This is Firearm Defense 101: identify your target.
At least you see the logic of positioning yourself in a superior defensive location. On second thought, no, you probably don't see that...

Nope, that’s just one isolated incident and the plural of anecdote is not data.

Here’s what the aggregated statistical data concludes on the topic:

“One justified gun death per 2 accidental deaths.
Five justified deaths per accidental child death.
About 1000 illegal deaths per justified death.
About 100 suicides per justified death.
About 100 homicides per 2 justified deaths.

Those odds are way worse than flipping a coin. At least then a gun would
have a 50% chance of killing a bad guy. But no. A person pulling the trigger
on a gun is most likely to be shooting themselves, then their family, then
commit a felony, then way, way, way down the line, if they're lucky, they hit
a bad guy.”

<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/statistical-life/201701/the-true-odds-shooting-bad-guy-gun>

> The bottom line is if you are armed you have a CHANCE - if you are unarmed you are a TARGET.

Continuing from the above:

“It's totally reasonable to argue that the odds of shooting a bad guy without a gun are zero.
But it's a bit like drinking a steady regimen of Drano to prevent parasites that may not ever
actually appear. It's not wise, but it could work.

The reality [is] when you use one to shoot someone, about 99 times out of a 100, you will
commit a felony, shoot yourself, or shoot someone by accident. In one out of a hundred cases,
you shoot the bad guy.”

So someone just like you with easy access to a gun got angry and
started shooting... you think that should make people feel safer about
you carrying a gun in public?

Here is a list of people just like you.

Why do more people die in your country from mass shootings than any
other?

You give your citizens easy access to guns and you make yourselves
targets; America is a target rich environment.

Unlike your fantasies that is fact.

Hey Welcher,

That was a REAL situation vs you phony one. There have been others. Your "statistics" are phony - they don't cover most defensive gun uses, just justified homicides. Also, there are anywhere from 500,000 to 3 M defensive gun uses per year - if those would-be victims had their guns striped from them, there would have been far more deaths and injuries.

And you wouldn't have a firearm in New Zealand... but it's your

So that includes anyone with a gun like yourself or are you the only
one carrying in your fantasy?

So now you are walking it back to some form of identification of target
at least.

Of course police, with all their up to date training, never
accidentally kill the wrong guy or an unarmed man in shooting
situations so why would you...
or do they?

> This is Firearm Defense

The superior position is likely inside the Mosque where the killer
would have time and line of sight to see your sorry arse and pop your
melon with his superior weapon... or were you going to just start
shooting up the mosque.

In your fantasy did you consider he may fire at you from behind a human
shield?

So tell us, little Tom, when if ever was your last tactical firearms
training. When, if ever, have you faced an armed villain?

So far you appear to be avoiding telling us of your real life
experience.

So far your fantasies have more in common with FPS games than real life.

I think it's pretty clear there was more chance of you being a victim
or even a murderer than helping.

Why does that surprise you? Should it surprise me? Are people with

That cite does not support the claim it follows. Is that a deliberate
falsehood or just ineptness?

We? Do you feel like you belong to a club?

When is the last time you stopped a crime, little Tommy?

The facts remain the same; because you have easy access to firearms
more people die.

You have a homicide rate 4 times that of the UK and a suicide rate
double that of the UK. Firearms play a large part in that difference
with a homicide by shooting 75 times that of the UK, something like 90%
of your homicides. You are 50 times more likely to shoot your own
brains out.

Well, in your scenario you're DEAD - I'd much rather have a fighting chance. You can fight back w/o a weapon, whatever is handy, but a weapon is MUCH better.

The guy is going from room to room, and gunfire started outside the mosque, giving you warning something bad is going down.

Which would give a clear shot at the shooter in my scenario. BTW, I've never heard of this happening. Shooters expect to be unchallenged and don't need shields. If they do, they use body armor.

Yaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn! I HAVE had tactical firearms training. Most cops never deal with armed bad guys. My brother was on the SF force for 40 years and had to fire his sidearm ONCE - and he took out that bad guy who had a shotgun to the head of his ex-girlfriend, saving her life.

We didn't even need to get to issues of potential deception, for Tom failed to
pedantly note that he did any kind of IFF prior to firing, which for his home use
case requires being of both the individual and any arms borne, which eats up
more time in the engagement timeline's decision loop.

The recurring problem with Tom's sort of what-ifs stems from the scenario
being known, which affords perfect knowledge to know what the correct course
of action is in advance. Unfortunately, the real world doesn't work that way:
ambiguity & 'fog of war' interferes, obstructs and changes the decision making
processes, so there is no simple canned answer. All in all, the predecisional
portion of the engagement timeline is one that is all too often neglected:
deciding if to engage requires far greater cognition than pulling a trigger.

Unfortunately, he's at the stage that's actually worse than being

I never claimed to be so. Besides no-one needs training to see through
your fantasist bullshit.

NB my weapons training, as it happens, came from many sources including
Royal Military Police (mainly handguns) and SAS (LMG and GPMG). I quite
liked shooting at things when I was young; I was rather good at it.
That you would suggest the NRA just shows how much attention you pay
and/or your knowledge is challenged. My pilot training, as I know you
have an interest, came solely from the RAF.

So I must agree, you seem to have had "NO IDEA" despite me mentioning
my weapons training previously, you know better now. My rifle team made
full time squaddies look like they were holding there dicks more than
once, Flaccid.

As usual, you DIDN'T! You did give a rambling, nonsensical, fantastical response, but you DIDN'T say what YOU would do! On virtually everything else, you go on ad nauseam about minutia details - this is a very simple, honest question: what would YOU do in such a situation. I am VERY curious about what YOUR plan of action would be - surely you must have one.

Actually, Tom did say what he'd do, which was to accidentally attempt to murder an
innocent with an ambush head shot because he failed to do IFF before engaging.

Unfortunately, that's way too easy to do once the adrenaline flows; if one hasn't
had training which has stressed participants to where they do make such mistakes
(to really no kidding learn IFF under stress), then it was poorly designed training.

Not really a plan at all. Defeating the enemy is always a good strategy
being tactically unaware is not a way to go about it.

Did he even mention how he would happen to have a gun on him in NZ?

Tom has more or less conceded that he has no experience of facing
anyone with a gun and has no tactical training outside of a classroom.

His claims of what he would do amount to no more than adolescent
fantasies.

No training, no experience, no plan. He is a liability.

Even if he didn't shoot at the wrong person through his stupidity, to
many he would be indistinguishable from the perps and likely a
distraction and delay for the professionals. Innocents avoiding him
might run straight into the perps line of sight. There are countless
ways in which he could end up adding to the problem and getting himself
and/or others killed.

His fantasy relies on perfect information, perfect hindsight and the
co-operation of the perp.

Incorrect.

Unfortunately, you’ve overestimated your tactical skills, as well as how you’ve not been
able to clearly articulate your utility function. Because you don’t like hearing this, you’ve
tried to “shoot the messenger” and make unfounded claims. Lame.

Case in point: just which elements in this video illustrate just which tactical errors
made by the defense, but due to dumb luck ... not skill/planning ... she got away with?

Failure to be able to analyze means you aren’t capable of safely carrying, and that
you are thus a greater hazard to others.

DUMB LUCK?! Typical libtard response! Her "dumb luck" was being ARMED! And she successfully fought off THREE ARMED INVADERS after being wakened by her partner! She waited until she had the advantage, then ATTACKED! Nothing "lucky" about that!

Easy to make such a claim, an infantile insult, but that is all you can
do as you lack any experience or training. Youtube videos and action
films are no substitute for experience training or courage; all things
that you clearly lack.

You have no plan, no tactical awareness, no skills. If you had a gun on
you, which you still haven't admitted that you wouldn't have had in NZ,
you would just be an old man with a dangerous weapon and a fantasy, a
liability.

Everything about you screams COWARD.

Your cowardly insults are as baseless as your fantasies.

It is tempting to tell Tom, "put up or shut up", but this is a learning opportunity for him.

What I've said is that Tom's video's defender made tactical errors. I've also stated
that I'm willing to back up this assertion with the wager offer. Thats the offer which
Tom is desperately trying to deflect and run away from.

Tom's not completely stupid; he knows that he's missing something big & obvious,
particularly if he suspects that I only make sucker bets. Its just his arrogance and
pride which prevents him from backing down and just asking. Problem is that in this
line of work, his is precisely the attitude which gets people killed.

BTW, had the photo shoot yesterday to prep for an article which will appear after the
official ribbon cutting on 4/26; more to follow.

LOL! You need to watch the video AGAIN:
Small, Asian lady 3
Large, armed thugs ZERO

She did EXACTLY what I said I would do: find a defensible space where she had the tactical advantage. These thugs were intending to kill any occupants and DID NOT expect any resistance, and ran as soon as she started firing. And, she pressed her advantage by switching to offense, going after these thugs (killing one OUTSIDE). Remember, the NZ shooter was repulsed, but came back with MORE weapons to continue his killing.

You are suffering from LL: Liberal Lunacy - nobody should be allowed to be armed because we DON'T TRUST YOU! Another good reason to NEVER live in NJ!!! This video SHOULD be a "learning experience" for you, but I predict you will merely keep making excuses for why this doesn't contradict your LL.

Watch the video again, noting her facing as she charges into the room.

Now provide to us the exact timestamps which clearly shows that
her head rotated sufficient distances to allow at least her eyes
to sweep the entire space ... ie, both flanks.

Oops. Completely missed coverage of her right flank ...
... which is the direction that the one perp fled.

Which was nothing. Your only comment presumed knowledge that you didn't
have, a firearm which you would not have had, cover across an area that
you do not have any knowledge of... IOW intelligence of which you have
none. You would clearly be more of a danger to yourself and others than
to any perps.

You have no plan just a fantasy. Anyone can be a hero in their own

You are as good a reason to prevent arseholes having access to guns as

Any dick can look at a story where the perps are defeated and claim
that's what they would have done, overlooking the number of times the
defender comes off worse and ignoring the reason the perps have access
to guns and choose to carry them in the first place.

Hey Welcher,

YOU watch the video again: ALL THREE running like hell as soon as she started firing (but not quite fast enough!). She took on THREE ARMED THUGS and WON!

You are making judgments based only on the video. An interview with her revealed that one escaped by breaking a glass back door! She was masterful at quickly assessing the tactical situation and dealing with it.

It is important to note that she emptied the entire mag of her .45. When dealing with that number of threats you need ALL the ammo you've got. For home defense, I have a Beretta with 17 rounds, but for CCW I have a Taurus with just 7+1 rounds.

Unlike you, I don't fantasise about unlikely situations. We do not let
every sorry for himself jessie carry a gun in order to feel less scared
and just a little macho.

The most likely time you will ever fire your gun in anger is to harm an
innocent person, or twice as likely, shoot yourself in the head.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States#/media/File:2010_homicide_suicide_rates_high-income_countries.png

I could tell you that from what you have said, in the very real
situation I faced, you would either have got yourself shot or have
killed a young man because that is the only two options you would have
left open. Someone would have died... just because you are scared all
of the time.

You are the one who is so scared that he carries a lethal weapon. Prove
that is a not a stupid and dangerous idea by stopping the fantasising
and accept you don't have a clue what kind of situation you would be
getting in to.

You have zero experience, zero relevant training, zero intelligence.
You are part of a problem not part of a solution.

That they ran also happens to debunk your claim that they
"...were intending to kill any occupants".

> She took on THREE ARMED THUGS and WON!

But she still made a tactical mistake.


> You are making judgments based only on the video.

100% of what was provided. Plus it does have the answer to the
question you were given (but dodged):

"Now provide to us the exact timestamps which clearly shows that
her head rotated sufficient distances to allow at least her eyes
to sweep the entire space ... ie, both flanks."

The answer to that question is that she NEVER LOOKED.


> An interview with her revealed that one escaped by breaking
> a glass back door!

That's retrospective, since she didn't even glance that way
during the engagement.

And this is precisely why I said she got lucky: since she failed
to clear that sector, had perp#3 still been present in that missed
sector, they could have then dropped her from behind because she went past.


> She was masterful at quickly assessing the tactical situation
> and dealing with it.

No, because if she was masterful, there would have been clear evidence in
the video of her sweeping the flank sectors before she crossed the room.


> It is important to note that she emptied the entire mag of her .45.

Didn't know that for sure, but now so noted because that's now yet
another tactical error made on her part, in how to properly deal with
an incompletely cleared space.

Well, a slight congratulations to you for choosing 9mm, as its a
caliber that's not as bad as .45 ACP for domestic home defense.

I'm wondering if that could really have been a .45 she was using.

She's shooting it mostly one-handed and getting next to no recoil.
