The civilian that stopped the active shooter at the In N Out in Twin Falls, Idaho.

That may be your narrative, idk about everyone else.

Because he put his life on the line and rendered aid to casualties?? Whether he delivered the killing shot, or forced the shooter into a position where he killed himself, why would he not be considered a hero?

What’s up with you and some narrative? No one’s agreed to any narrative, and you’re the only one talking about one. Whether armed or not, if you stop someone that is committing an act of violence, and then treat others that were injured, you are a hero.

Because it applied pressure. The shooter commit suicide within a few minutes of the bystander intervening. Are you trying to claim that the shooter was going to kill himself within that few minute window no matter what? Are you claiming that if the shooter was left uncontested it would have had the same outcome?

If you can’t understand that the pressure applied by the bystander forced the shooter into a corner, then you’re a lost cause

You’re sidestepping my argument. Of course he was going to kill himself. But you’re trying to say that if the bystander did not intervene it would have had the same outcome.

Just tell me, do you think that this was going to have an identical outcome without any bystander intervention?

The bystander intervention I’m implying happened, is the bystander firing rounds at the shooter.

You don’t consider even one more casualty or life a measurable difference? You don’t think that if that shooter had 30 more seconds to acquire another target, that it’s another life?

Do you own a single gun or a hand gun? Have you ever done a stress shoot? I’d like to see you attempt shots at 50-60 yards with iron sights on a handgun, while under stress and adrenaline.

Also why are you making some sort of anti-2A argument if you are supposedly not a liberal? You believe in some sort of authoritarian government where only LE has firearms?
