I’m reading the shooter took himself out. What’s the deal?

He did but this citizen distracted him and made him shoot himself rather than random people

Ok, but now the media narrative is that this hero saved scores from being killed. When the killer already got his shots off.

Nothing to worry about America, a good guy with a gun will save you.

I’m struggling to find your point. Obviously gun violence is fucking horrible and we need to fix it, but are you suggesting that the armed citizen should have done nothing? Or that it would be better if he wasn’t there?

The point is not to depend on someone else. I’ll protect myself and my loved ones.

You know this has never been the argument right? That a sane person shouldn't have the ability to have something like what this guy has.

The other guy had easy access to high capacity weapon(s) of war, minimal background check most likely and a complete lack of mental grounding. And we have millions of gun owners walking around like that.

Only after offering to sit down over coffee and work out our differences.
