School shooting, Littleton Colorado

[Darth Wagtaros]

Is a guy walking around with a rifle a normal sight in the US? I mean, I suppose it's not something you can easily conceal, and the way the story is presented, the guy simply walked to the victims then asked them questions, and then shot them - it's surprising noone tackled him by then.

Yeah I'm sure you go preemptively tackle people with guns all the time. 

Only strapping Russian soldiers.

[Alcibiades]

Btw, I'd like to see Marti tackling someone with a gun.

You know he is incapable of physical activity, it's for the plebs.

In Poland, this went on for years, and no one tackled the dudes with rifles even after they fired.

Guys with rifles are not a common sight in the US, but they are not unknown.  Generally, people are not tackled for having a rifle.

Poland, I am sure, is different.  So we can understand your confusion, please share with us the stories of all the tackles you have made in the past coupla years, and the reasons you had for making each one.

If I buy a rifle at a shop, I have to at least walk with it to my car. What if I don't have a car? I have to take it on the subway. 

No biggie.

You know by having a gun you put yourself at an immediate disadvantage don't you?

If a flamboyant gay guy drops into a three point stance you are.

No, but then again I have never, during my entire life, and having travelled many countries, seen anyone in the street who would be carrying a visible weapon and who would not be a law enforcement officer or a member of the military.

You're still not dead yet? We need THE SURGE!

But imagine you were in a country in a state of anarchy where regular people had guns such as the US or Somalia. Would it be logical to rush an armed man who wasn't paying any particular attention to you, because they *might* cause some trouble? Seems to me that action would encourage the behavior you're trying to prevent.

Does he get a pink card, or is it a personal foul for illegal mincing?

Hence my question, which was aimed at establishing whether the US is a country in a state of anarchy (i.e. a country where civilians, who are not obviously criminals, carry non-concealed weapons in public) or not. I have received an ample feedback.

Now all you have to do is find someone who can explain the feedback to you without using any big words, and you will be golden!

15 yards for mincing, and ejection for feltching.
