    A multilayered defense is a defense against an ambush. In the case of the grocery store in Buffalo, there was only one layer of defense: the security guard. Once he was out of action, everyone was defenseless.

    If there had been more armed good guys, they could have ambushed the shooter.

    You obviously don't understand "defense in depth". Do you?

    They would likely have shot several more innocents and let the shooter get away.

    They kill people using guns. No guns... most of those people live. It's not complicated.

    And you obviously don't understand, most people aren't trained to handle an active shooter situation.

    It's simple: you create a defense made of layers. When layer fails, another layer is there to take its place.

    It's like fire protection in a building. There are fire and extinguishers, hoses and sprinklers.

    Has anyone actually confirmed that’s his manifesto? Call me crazy but I’m thinking a 18 year old who is clearly at least slightly off his rocker created a detailed 180 page manifesto is pretty questionable.

    Ok, get rid of the guns. You know, I know, we all know that’s not possible. So what’s the point of bringing it up?

    Thats just not true. There are literally thousands of examples of people being caught in ambushes in war and fighting their way out.

    There is literally nothing true about your statement. Here let’s give it a test.

    If you were in an ambush would you prefer to have a firearm or not have one?

    Not to get too far off topic but C.S. Lewis attained a fair bit of fame and recognition applying myth archetypes in a limited way to the Christian Religion, whereas Campbell identified and applied the same archetypes to multiple religions and cultures. So to me Campbell is the greater thinker of the two. As I am sure you are aware,, Carl Jung identified the same archetypes as the Collective Unconscious. I don't think Lewis, Campbell and Jung were all frauds.

    Dune was a great novel. Too me the greatest Science Fiction novel ever written as well as a great novel in any literary genre. IMHO far better than Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings I believe was in fact written as a children's story. But Lord of the Rings made a better movie. The complexity of Dune does not lend itself to making a movie. Much like I have never seen a movie do justice to say Hamlet.

    Getting back to politics, the fact that the "Return of the MAGA King" is now, thanks to Biden, a popular phrase suggests that Trump does in fact appeal to the archetype myth of the hero's journey. Biden was clueless to call him the MAGA King. I personally plan to use "Return of the MAGA King" anytime that Trump is brought up in a thread that has nothing to do with Trump. If liberals want to make every discussion about Trump, let's talk about Trump on every thread. Per the myth of the hero's journey the hero has an initial call to action, trial and failure, transformation, and the triumphant return. Other people see this. For example, Kanye West was quoted just the other day as saying "Trump is on a hero's journey." The liberals posting here see it also. That explains the overriding fear of Trump and the constant thinking about Trump, the MAGA King.

    Apparently this massacre was a direct response to the Waukesha massacre with the gunman specifically looking for only black targets. If you recall, the Waukesha massacre had no guns involved.... just a SUV and a black supremacist. In other words, this white supremacist reacted to the killing spree of a black supremacist. This how civil wars start..... tit for tat terrorist attacks.

    Your pathetic attempt at a red herring argument is laughable. Read the thread title again. Stick to the topic. Start another thread for whatever you're blabbering about.
