Armed Citizen Stops Shooter at Indiana Mall: GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

[LV426]

the POINT you are ignoring is that the body count could have been a lot higher, were it not for that good guy with a gun.

The point is that there was a body count in the first place.

 

[leaningright]

The whole point is that someone shot up a mall because they had easy access to a killing machine and 30 magazines.

That's the point.

Your "good guy with a gun" was not a deterrent.

Open carrying in public in IN was not a deterrent.

So arming more people and allowing them to carry guns everywhere doesn't deter mass shooters, because it didn't in this case.

Respectfully, allowing citizens to carry was never meant to be a “deterrent.” There’s only one way to “deter.”

 

[LV426]

the mall was a gun free zone.........how does prohibiting people from carrying in there deter mass shootings?

So if the mall was a gun-free zone and this guy ignored that and still brought a gun in, that doesn't make him a "good guy", it makes him a bad guy.

 

[leaningright]

And everyone is not a criminal right up until the moment they are.

Just like everyone is a responsible gun owner, right up until the moment they aren't.

So we’re going to treat every citizen like an irresponsible criminal because of this?

 

[LV426]

The dead shooter had several magazines with over 100 rounds of ammunition.

How did he manage to get all that?

Undoubtedly the body count would have been much higher had not the good guy with gun intervened.

There wouldn't have been a body count AT ALL if no one was allowed to carry a gun.

Also, that "good guy" killed the gunman, so we will never know why he did what he did to prevent it from happening again.

Your "good guy" didn't save the three people who died before, and he killed the shooter denying justice to his victims.

Slow sarcastic clap.

Arm teachers ...u may have had a person like this in Uvalde

You don't even trust teachers with books, and now you want to give them guns?

OK, I'm all for kids learning CRT at gunpoint.

 

[LV426]

They say the shooter was shot from a distance by a citizen with no formal training.

Who says that? The cops?

Cops lie, moron.

Also, by killing that guy, we don't get to put him on trial, the families of the victims don't get justice, we don't get a motive, and we don't know how to stop this ffrom happening again.

Because Howdy Doody had to play Dirty Harry.

 

[LV426]

He stopped what could have become far, far worse

How did the mass shooter even kill 3 people to begin with?

Who sold him the guns and ammo?

Also, here's what usually happens when dumbasses just start shooting each other:

Man charged in shootout after robbing Wellston store patron of rifle, police say
Police said a man was robbed of his rifle, and then grabbed another gun and began shooting at the suspect. The alleged robber is recovering at an area hospital.

[LV426]

This time it did

No it didn't you fucking imbecile because the mass shooter killed 3 people before Howdy Doody killed him, denying the families of the victims justice, denying a trial, denying us a motivation, and denying us the opportunity to learn from it so as to prevent it from happening again.

 

[LV426]

did you cut off your penis to prevent rape?

No, did you?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

And everyone is not a criminal right up until the moment they are.

Just like everyone is a responsible gun owner, right up until the moment they aren't.

That's a pretty low fucking bar.

Do you hold yourself to that same, pathetically low standard?

So we’re going to treat every citizen like an irresponsible criminal because of this?

Yes since that's the entire point of Federalism, be it Left or Right ideology: to control the citizenry.

All Federalists, regardless of flavor, are authoritarian by nature. They do not support local government, but it State or municipal. Sad, since it's another step away from the Founder's ideals of individual freedom.

 

[LV426]

Are u disappointed that there was another guy with a gun there?

Yes for multiple reasons:

1. He didn't save anyone, THREE PEOPLE WERE KILLED before he could be bothered to pull his gun.

2. By brainlessly killing and not wounding the shooter, he denied all of us the opportunity to put him on trial and get the victims' families the justice they deserve, and also denied us the opportunity to learn the motivation so that we can prevent this from happening again.

3. He didn't deter the shooting...it still happened.

4. It's the cops who are saying this.

5. He wasn't a "good guy" SINCE HE KNOWINGLY BROUGHT A GUN INTO A GUN FREE ZONE.

So right up until the moment he shot the mass shooter, your hero was a bad guy with a gun.

 

[LV426]

You're getting bitchslapped hard and you're too fucking stupid to realize it. You lose...again!

You and SmarterthanNoone are junkies.

And like all junkies, you need to go to rehab.

 

[LV426]

I'm not crying about the armed citizen. I think he's a hero. He should not be put in that position. Apparently you are too fucking stupid to figure that out. You laughable gutless keyboard warriors are a joke. You would have run the other way as fast as you could.

He is no hero.

Up until the moment he shot the guy, he was a bad guy with a gun too because he was concealing a weapon where he knew he wasn't allowed to.

Yes.

Now you're getting it.

Re-read what you just wrote here back to yourself.

Ok…??

No it didn't you fucking imbecile because the mass shooter killed 3 people before Howdy Doody killed him,
.

Not a mass shooting...u dont even know what one is


The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are shot or killed, not including the shooter.

I always LOL when I hear braindead reactionaries try to invoke the FF's idea of freedom, which at the time only extended to landowning white men.

So, we've been FAR from the FF's ideals for a long, long, long time, if that's what you believe, since at least the 14th Amendment.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
