Lesson of the day:  Carry a gun when you go to a bank!

Lesson of the day: Equip your bomb with a dead man's handle!

And those damn liberals want to make it harder for us honest citizens to exercise our 2nd amendment right... pfft.

Dead man's handle?  Uhm, ok.


Anyway, GUNS FTW!  Much like LAKERS FTL

Yeah, it's this.  It means that you activate the bomb, then if you release the button it explodes, ie: if you get shot.

Oh,k.  OR equip yourself with a bomb in the first place

I don't want to get pulled into an argument about weapons, but......

Wow, the guy with the gun is totally insane. If he had shot the guy, the bomb could so easily have been triggered, either by a dead man's switch, the twitch of a hand, a badly aimed shot, impact with the ground, a bullet hitting the bomb itself, etc. That would have killed all kinds of innocent people.

He got lucky that the guy cooperated, but what he did was incredibly irresponsible. I mean, what's more important, the innocent lives of the people in the bank, or the bank's money?

Whats the likelihood the dude HAD a bomb? 

Also, army dude ... I don't think he'd really miss.

If he didn't have a bomb, what difference does it make that the guy had a gun? He could have just been tackled.

Did you read my list of potential reasons for the bomb to go off? "Miss" wasn't any of them, the cloest was "badly aimed shot", by which I meant hitting him in a place that didn't kill him instantly.

iago hit the nail right on the head: Bank money is much less valuable than innocent lives.

Either way, making it harder for a citizen to get a firearm is not a bad thing. Things like criminal / mental background checks seem perfectly reasonable to me.

Cause shooting stupid people that rob banks cleanses society

Yet again, that has nothing to do with what I said.
