A mentally disturbed 18 year old can stroll into a gun shop in Texas and purchase two AR-15's. That is a fawking problem. Your solution to the problem--well, let's just make sure we can get a "good guy with a gun", to him quick after he starts KILLING CHILDREN. And yet, in this case, we had dozens of "good guys with a gun" on the scene, and it took them an hour to work up enough nerve to breech the door.
If we have learned anything from this it is that the good guy with a gun concept falls flat on it's face, because in order for the good guy with a gun to be effective he has to have a set of balls. Most good guys with guns, those that carry in public, don't have a set of balls, that is why they carry the gun.
Yes...it is a problem because of his family, his friends, his school, the local police knew he was batshit crazy.....the sack filled with tortured and dead cats that he carried around was the first clue, the threats of raping girls he posted to on the internet was another, as was the facial cutting, the various fights at school, the domestic violence with police showing up, and shooting people with a BB gun which is an actual crime and would have allowed the police to arrest him..........and they didn't do anything to deal with him......
That isn't the problem of any normal gun owner, it isn't the problem of the gun store that ran a full, federally mandated background check...but because all those other people failed to intervene with him...he didn't have a criminal record, or a mental health comittment, either of which would have popped on his background check.
Let's see....you dumb ass.......you had lots of police standing outside the school...government agents....who did nothing....for upwards of 90 minutes...violating all known protocols for dealing with an active shooter in a school......
But you don't want someone in the building, a teacher, and administrator, support staff....to have a gun...a gun that likely would have kept him from attacking in the first place, a gun that might have kept him from killing those kids and teachers....
The government failed.......remember that dipshit.......the government that you want to be the only ones with the guns failed......
Meanwhile, you idiot......in West Virginia, the same week....a woman with a concealed carry gun shot and killed another mass public shooter who was also armed with an AR-15 rifle...
Number of killed when the good guy with the gun shot the mass public shooter?
0
You dumb ass...
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A woman in West Virginia fatally shot a man who began firing an AR-15-style rifle into a crowd of people that had gathered for a party, authorities said.
Dennis Butler, 37, was killed Wednesday night after he pulled out the rifle and began shooting at dozens of people attending the birthday-graduation party outside an apartment complex in the city of Charleston, police said in a statement.
The woman, who was attending the party, drew a pistol and fired, killing Butler, the statement said.
No one at the party was injured.
"Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night," Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelett told news outlets Thursday.

Actual experience, actual training shows that the key to saving lives in a mass public shooting event is to get someone shooting back at the attacker.....this forces them...
1) to stop fucking shooting innocent people in order to deal with the good guy shooting at him or them....
2) The good guy approaching or attacking the guy, besides doing #1......results in suicide, running away or surrender by the attacker...rarely do they actually fight back...
Soooo...you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
