New Homeland Security Video Urges Americans to Resist Shooters…With Scissors

If Americans were worried that those pushing gun control in Washington, and in the Obama administration, have unrealistic expectations about what is necessary for self defense, then a recently released video by the Department of Homeland Security seems unlikely to placate them.

The video, titled “Options for Consideration,” and released January 25th of this year, details what are meant to be acceptable responses to “active shooter situations” of the type seen at Fort Hood, Virginia Tech, and at the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Curiously, the video omits mention of the Aurora shooting, though it was filmed before Sandy Hook.

DHS’s recommended responses to such shootings, demonstrated in a generic office setting, include the obvious instructions to try to either evacuate the area, or hide someplace the shooter won’t think to look, while also warning innocent bystanders in such situations that it is necessary to follow the instructions of police officers and other law enforcement personnel who appear on the scene.

This much of the video is relatively non-controversial. However, there is one particular portion that may prompt derisive chuckles from self-defense advocates. The passage occurs at roughly 1:45 in the video, during which the narrator of the video suggests, “If you are caught out in the open, and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available.”

The image shown at this point is as follows:

This particular bit of advice has already attracted some attention. The New York Post reports the pushback:

Richard Feldman, president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association, said he has a better option for consideration than a pair of scissors when confronting an armed mass murderer — a legal firearm.

“That’s why I prefer a gun, and I usually do carry a gun when it is lawful to do so,” said Feldman. “Clearly, you use whatever you can” to fight for your life, he said.

So if scissors are all you’ve got, grab them by all means.

The video is part of the Obama administration’s ongoing campaign to reduce firearm violence in the wake of the horrific mass murder last month of 20 children and six teachers in Newtown, Conn., said a Homeland Security official.

Given that the video was apparently released to coincide with Obama administration proposals on gun control, the fact that it makes mention of self-defense at all is surprising. However, suggesting that self-defense with scissors and other improvised weapons might be a valid option while neglecting to mention the idea of carrying a firearm for preparedness arguably heightens the omission of the latter.

      You laugh but years ago I had a work blade that I had to conceal and wrap up.I wasn’t about to carry it in the open.My walk to the bus stop with it entailed me carrying a bag just for it.If you are wondering.It was a 18 inch long blade[not including handle].Now if you are sufficiently interested in knowing what it was.It was a frozen pastry knife.Let us not even mention big game boning knives.Either of these, thrown at an attacker with enough muscle behind it ,could literally pin your suspect to the wall with blade to spare.

      I think that most states have a knife length restriction of 4 inches. However, in West Virginia it is 3.75 inches. I used to travel extensively and ALWAYS carried a large lock blade on my belt. I had a few run ins with nasty people, that is until I started carrying to large blade. When I found that my former 4 inch lock blade was too ling for WV, I purchased a 3.75 inch one. States will probably have something to say about scissors length too. When it comes to disarming people, the states can be quite all-inclusive in their desire and effect.

      If scissors are all you have then sure scissors are better than nothing. However the Constitution guarantees the right to much more persausive means of protection. Let HLS can arm themselves with scissors I’ll chose my taurus .357 instead it only holds 7 but they are 7 nasty hollow pointed SOBs.

      Our flagship weapons system will be sold as a pair. A .45 for personal carry and another .45 you keep either in your desk at work or at the house. Again these will not e sold separately but as one system. We will call this weapons system “Scissors”, and I already have a Homeland Security video as free advertisement recommending people get themselves “a pair of Scissors”.to defend themselves against a mad and deranged lunatic.

      It probably follow the knife laws: an illegal knife as (A) a knife with a blade over five and one-half inches; (B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;

      FYI – New York Attempting To Ban Knives

      Here is another example of the police state’s determination to disarm its citizens of any means of defense against criminals. First it was firearms, now knives and edged weapons. Knife Rights, an organization similar to the NRA, is challenging New York on behalf of retailers and citizens alike.

      I love Kevin’s Idea. I was thinking along a different track: I’ll invent a brand of scissors that can ‘lock’ into the open position, the fingergrips pop off to reveal two more points and it becomes an instant throwing star. Oh, and when the grips pop off, those two points are pre-coated with deadly poison to give a 50% chance of killing the bad guy if you score a hit.

      Now I’m thinking of staplers that are disguised as weapons sitting on every desk; a fake desk phone where the receiver is a pistol, or a flamethrower with the cord supplying fuel from the phone, or perhaps an EZ under the chair mounted sidearm holster, or pens that become blow dart guns……

      The possibilities are endless.

      A gun is a ranged weapon. Scissors are not.

      Scissors can work an iota better than an unarmed person on hands & feet. The problem is that you still have to “close” with the criminal & possible take major damage along the way. The Aurora shooting could have been less deadly. 6 guys closing with the perpetrator would have overwhelmed him. Problem is they have to make a split second decision to kiss their a$$es could by. Once they closed with the perpetrator of they left him in the same shape as Nidal Hassan, it would affect people considering doing something similar. Most would reconsider & not cause mass casualty events. Now the joker’s biggest problem is keeping up the pretense of mental illness. That is much less stress on him than having to live a paralytic. Mess these perps up & don’t give them 3 squares a day & or the death penalty (or if possible allow to off themselves.). I guarantee you there will be less shootings.

      A gunman coming around a corner confronted by someone with scissors does not have
      ***as much *** advantage as he had before.

      Optimally he should have no advantage. He should be at a disadvantage. After his surprise chickensh/t attack, if he wants to harm other people in an office building (let’s say), every corner he goes around should make him pucker up.

      It is total BS that Homeland security would ensure that the best weapon we have is a makeshift weapon. But they do want to control us. Well the dumb a$$ ranchers of the elite should understand that martial arts weapons like the Nunchaku (nunchucks) came from make shift weapons like a rice flail. If we survive their gentle ministrations ( Nietzsche), we will be stronger.

      They should fear that.

      Did you hear of the time that the French peasants rose up boiled nobles alive? It seems as though the French nobles (ranchers) broke the feudal contract. they treated peasants like serfs/slaves & could not keep their parts of the contract such as protecting the peasants. Is history repeating itself?

    If that’s all you have,… if you work in a Gun Free Zone (otherwise known as mandated target rich environment) .. you have to use whatever you have at hand. The training at my workplace actually goes out of their way to inform people that they have the right to fight back!? It’s sickening that such a thing even has to be stated.

      McJob-employees, dogs and sheeple are “trained”. Humans should be educated.

      Or how about this one,gun free zone aka kill zone. I know what you mean as humans we have a natural instinct to preserve our life it’s only government that insists on putting us into the ground quickly through idiotic ‘gun laws’.

    If I recall correctly, scissors were the predicate of the Tueller Drill that established the 21-foot rule. Better to bring a gun to a gun fight than a pair of dull blunted scissors.

    Sheeple, line up for FedGov indoctrination!

      I agree with you.Just remember though that those who actually sew have very sharp scissors.The human body is easier to cut than fabric.Fabric requires a very sharp set of scissors in order to cut it without fraying.The human body doesn’t.

      The largest assault scissors are used by tailors and seamstresses – EVIL – but the sharpest and most easily concealed, short of an elite eye surgeon’s, are a barber’s scissors.

      School children in free fire zones are limited to Curio & Relic scissors, dulled and blunted lest they hurt themselves.

    All White House Guards , Congressional Guards, Secret Service, Homeland Non-Security should be issued scissors. And turn in their bad firearms. For the less handy, they should be issued pinking shears.

      Yes by all means I want them nicely frayed.That is what pinking shears do.Look to make a long story very short scissors will work in a domestic situation.So too will a meat cleaver kitchen knives.Cast iron skillets exc.Its just not going to work very well in a office school style shooting.Well unless you have guts and have already been the _____ of a violent act before.In which case you amy actually be the one that saves everyone.In essence it means you would rather die than be the target for violence ever again.
      IT STILL DOESN”T MEAN A GUN ISN”T THE BEST WEAPON.

    This article illustrates to the atheist lady on another article just how ‘logical safe and fair your federal government is. Her naivety is astonishing.

    Nothing says self-defense like bringing crafting scissors to a gun fight. Jeez….

    Hey, maybe we can arm the Secret Service with supplies from Jo-Ann Fabrics! Just attack a potential bad guy with glue sticks, glitter, thread, and yards of sparkling ribbon. If it’s supposed to work for the rest of us….

      Rubber bands? Only if they’re made from environmentally friendly, organic, sustainable, free trade sources harvested by indigenous women who previously had to depend upon prostitution to survive in their third world country.

      Otherwise, you’re SOL. :)
