Texas mall shooter was stopped by an armed citizen.....notice how the press didn't cover this....

[2aguy]

The same way anti-gun people gloss over reports where armed citizens are a positive presence, right wingers gloss over the fact that most of those that succeed are trained shooters, not just somebody who just walked out of a gun store with their first weapon and went to the mall or something. The citizen also managed to not shoot his own foot off and hit his target. Can't find how many shots it took but if it was more than one I think the story might have said so.

This is a lie……….but thanks for playing that game

 

[2aguy]

Maybe the armed shooter shouldn't have been there in the first place. Did that cross any pro 2nd Amenders brain? Nope.

But what system could you have to reduce incidents? Did that cross any pro 2nd Amenders brain? Nope.

Same shit everyday, pro 2nd Amenders are not the brightest of American society, taf.

We know how to stop mass public shooters…….when the police have repeated contacts with nuts….they need to make an arrest or take them to the hospital for a 24 hour mental health evaluation…both will keep them from buying guns legally………

almost ever one of the mass public shooters had multiple, arrestable contacts with the police or the feds…and they failed to act….

also, numb nuts…….these shooters write in their actual manifestos that they attack gun free zones……so making public places gun free zones allows them to attack..,,,,

we know how to stop these guys, you don’t…..

 

[2aguy]

I agree, which is why it's not a big deal to require a little training for first time gun buyers on purchases and proof of safety knowledge for experienced buyers.

Nope…..it would be nice but then anti-gun fanatics would create training requirements that would keep normal people from being able to buy and carry guns…

you leftists ruin everything.

 

[2aguy]

I was commenting on his claim of how the left distorts the stories; the right does as well. They snivel if anyone proposes any safety training being required when purchasing a firearm.

We oppose literacy tests for voting too….which was nothing more than democrats keeping blacks from voting.

Training requirements are nothing more than literacy tests applied to gun ownership and will be abused by the democrats the same way they abused literacy tests for black Americans voting…

 

[2aguy]

No, the mass shootings are much deeper than firearms. Much much deeper. It is related to socio-economics, mental health and lack of fire arm education in general in a population with more firearms than people.

Number of mass public shootings in 2021…..

12

12 nuts out of over 350 million people….

Number murdered?
74

deer kill 200 people each year

Ladders kill 300

cars kill 40,0000

Mass public shootings are the rarest of rare events……..and we know how to deal with them…..

get rid of gun free zones….

get family members to get help for the dangerously mentally I’ll in their families…..

12 families in 2021 had truly dangerous nuts…….we need families like this to get help, and we need to have help available…..

most of the last mass shooters were known to the police and all of the school shooters were known to the school, the police and their families….

this isn’t a gun issue…it is a mental health isssue

Why does your graph start at .9?

1. It is not "my graph", it was created by Carpe Diem, as you see on the bottom.
2. Why does it start at 1998 instead of 1776?

For the same reason it starts at .9. Compressing the graph shows the number relationships clearly
UNLESS they are intentionally misleading you as the Scary Graph does to Climate Change Cultists:

Can't let it get out that armed good guys who are not cops or navy SEALs stop mass public shooters...might encourage more people to carry guns for self defense....


Police in Texas said this week that the 16-year-old suspected of shooting three people at an El Paso mall was shot by a citizen who was legally carrying a firearm at the mall.

The suspect, a Hispanic male, is accused of killing 17-year-old Angeles Zaragoza and wounding two others, a 20-year-old Hispanic male and a 17-year-old Hispanic male. According to police, the alleged shooter was shot by 32-year-old Emmanuel Duran as he fled the scene.

Texas Mall Shooting Suspect Stopped By Citizen With Gun: Police | The Daily Wire

This is a lie.

Other news reporting agencies have reported this, such as CNN.

The thread premise is likewise a lie and fails as a confirmation bias fallacy – there is no ‘conspiracy’ among ‘the media’ to not report when armed civilians stop gun crime and violence.

And the fact remains that ‘good guy with a gun’ is a myth, it is extremely rare that mass shootings are stopped by armed civilians.

Last, no one takes issue with private citizens carrying firearms, dishonest conservatives need to stop lying in a pathetic effort to ‘justify’ private citizens carrying guns.

Wrong...they do not cover these cases the same way as they do mass public shootings, and most of the time only local news channels cover the story for one news cycle.....you liar.

Yes, right on cue. Triggered rubbish.

They are a great idea, actually. Blacks have no more excuses for not being able to pass one these days. They've had literally trillions of dollars and over 60 years of preferential quotas and run their own school systems handed to them on a platter. If they're still too stupid, tough shit, it's a self-inflicted problem. Same for any white and hispanic dumbass who can't pass one. Your comparison is also dumb.

lol

 

[airplanemechanic]

The mass shooting will be reduced if the Demonrats just stfu about losing their young to mass shooters.

Kinda funny that left wingers fight to the death for the right to kill the unborn in the womb, but when a right winger wants to carry to gun to try to save that lefties life in the event of a shooting, they fight with equal vigor to ensure he can't.

Makes no sense.

 

[Donald H]

Come on Donald H. Black guys don't commit crimes with assault rifles, they use hand guns to rob liquor stores, white guys use auto rifles to shoot up "them" people. At least let's think clearly about what we are discussing.

No not the shooter in black, the AR in black that appeals to Americans living the culture of wars and death.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

And again, the story makes it clear that the shooting had ended, the suspect was running away, and the damage had already been done.

When will a gun violence story ever tell us that the good guy shot first to prevent deaths by gun?

LOL you cant shoot first and still be the good guy dumb ass

 

[Donald H]

LOL you cant shoot first and still be the good guy dumb ass

You know that's not true.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

You know that's not true.

Yes it is unless the subject has aimed a firearm at others.

 

[Donald H]

Yes it is unless the subject has aimed a firearm at others.

You've already got it partly right.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

You've already got it partly right.

Look dumbass unless a shooter breaks the law first another shooter cant act

 

[Hollie]

No not the shooter in black, the AR in black that appeals to Americans living the culture of wars and death.

These kinds of frantic tirades only further diminish the claims of the leftist, wannabe gun grabbers.

The NRA’s David Keene identifies who owns the scary black rifles which cause such panic among the left.

''Writes Keene: “Nearly 90 percent of those who own an AR-15 use it for recreational target shooting; 51 percent of AR owners are members of shooting clubs and visit the range regularly; the typical AR owner is not a crazed teenage psychopath, but a 35-plus-year-old, married and has some college education.”

 

[Papageorgio]

The socalled good guy with a gun needs to learn who the bad guys are so they can shoot first. But then the good guy with a gun suddenly becomes the murderer with a gun.

Go figure? It's impossible to stop a shooter and still be able to know which one with a gun is the good guy.

If you can't eliminate both of them from the trouble, what 'can' be eliminated to stop setting another record for mass shootings? I just don't know it there's an answer to the problem?


Oh wait!

All good guys with guns must wear white hats with a red sticker to warn bad guys with black hats.

But really 2A and all joking aside. Who the fk cares?

You seem to.

And there's the problem that makes it scary as hell to consider what the other 10+% are doing with their AR's.

I've made my case against them for months now, based on the appeal to people who are thinking of using them for the intended purpose.

How many of the 90% are using them to shoot at human silouette targets? And the question is why?
