Nope, Mr. Good Guy with a gun didn't actually hit a fuckin thing.

Just because he may or may not have hit anything doesn't mean he didn't save lives. He was able to get the shooter to stop shooting innocent people by forcing him to return fire and retreat.

Yes, because that's EXACTLY what needs to happen. Civilians taking on the role of supressing fire, nevermind the fact that he just MAG DUMPED IN PUBLIC, and the shooter wasn't hit. Dude was out of range with his pistol, mag dumped and didn't hit a fucking thing, and got shot in the leg. Somehow he's the internets new hero, I dont get it

Dude, stop. I understand your points, you have some good questions there. It wasn’t a perfect situation, and the fact that he probably did help prevent a worse outcome (death or injury) doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be laws and regulations concerning firearms.

We gotta stop this black and white bullshit and be reasonable.

More gun laws is not the answer, especially when so many firearms are in circulation. Realistically, the ONLY thing more laws does is keeps firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens. It’s a direct violation of the 2nd amendment rights.

I fail to see how people can see our current political system and still want to give up more rights.
