Reply #144: The congresswoman herself is a gun owner [View All]

But as I pointed out to several people yesterday, even if she would have been carrying it at the time, it's hard to pull out your own gun when someone just walks up to you and starts shooting from three feet away. Bullets work pretty instantly, there is rarely time for retaliation shots. The whole thing supposedly happened in 20 seconds. Even if someone at the event was carrying their gun and had it already loaded, safety off, and ready to shoot, a lot can happen in 20 seconds with a gun.
