HERO WITH HANDGUN Police praise armed 'good Samaritan' who neutralized gunman during deadly rampage at mall
-
Yep, a 22 y.o. with a legal carry weapon killed him relatively quickly apparently since the shooter had several magazines with him. Sure sounds like an AR-15 type weapon to me. But we'll see as further reporting develops.

"Well it's about time !" A good guy with a gun.....stopped a would be massacre. A hero now with a gun.
Oh and the mall had a policy against guns, I guess the killer didn't read it.
---------------
Four people were dead, including the suspected shooter, after a man with a long gun entered a mall south of Indianapolis and opened fire, police said.
Two others were injured in the early evening attack at Greenwood Park Mall, Jim Ison, the police chief of Greenwood, Indiana, said at a Sunday night news conference. One remained hospitalized, he said. A 12-year-old girl with abrasions was treated and released.
Four of six people who were injured or killed were female, Ison said.
The shooter appeared to have been fatally shot by a 22-year-old "good Samaritan" who witnessed the attack and opened fire with a handgun with the intention of ending the assault, Ison said.
★ He praised the young man, identifying him only as being from Bartholomew County, south of the metro area.
★ "The real hero of the day was the Samaritan that was lawfully carrying a firearm who was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as it began," Ison said.
Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers also praised the “Good Samaritan” who stepped in, saying in a statement Sunday evening, “This person saved lives tonight.”
★ “On Behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation.”
The shooter appeared to be at the mall with ill intentions, Ison said. Really ? LOL.
"It appears that he had a rifle with several magazines of ammunition, entered the food court, and began shooting," the chief said of the suspected gunman. -----> continued -----> every night at 6 and 11.

America is now in a nightly and weekly slaughtering ground.
● Outlaw extended capacity magazines.
● Nobody under 21 or maybe 22 can buy an AR style rifle.
● More coherent and complete background checks......for a logical start.
Give us our 6 and 11 news back, now we just expect "nutjob with an AR " almost every night.

I know little about guns. Of what significance is it that the gun used may be an AR-15?

Easy. It's *one of if not the best and most effective military style killing machine out there. You almost never see nutjob with shotgun enters......,pick one.....mall, school, church.
And some fabulous killing ammunition out there, oh and 30+ round magazines. .
* Oh same with some really nice 9 mm handguns with 17 +/- round magazines, nice for backup.
Killing made easy.

Disagree, the AK47 is a better weapon.

Well AK AR both do basically the same thing. I look at the AKs as a cheaper "spray and pray" weapon used by insurgents -or- military personnel around the ? globe.
The AR-15 basically a non auto version of a full blown military rifle. I'd take it for home defense or shooting up a mall. Better ammo available too. The choice of 18 yea4 old killers everywhere.

What a low bar we've set where some are happy/content with an outcome where 4 people are dead and 2 more injured...
Arming everyone isn't a solution. It's hardly a bandaid.

Not so much happy/content as thankful it wasn't 10, 20 maybe more families planning funerals.
We're the murder capitol of the world. And arming everybody NO just those who are licensed, tested, and want to carry.
Recent laws about carry are insane, NO testing, nothing. BAD, BAD idea. Guns are not toys.

Even crazier to think the majority of people agree with having more strict gun regulations, and yet nothing happens. Politics, corporations and lobbying carry more weight than the American people.
At this point we're waiting for everyone to either care or to be personally affected by a mass shooting to force them to care.
Even being thankful is worthless. We should be angry. We should be pushing for change. But nothing has happened and in the current state nothing will. Too many have made this part of their political identity. So now they can pretend they'll be some hero in a fictional situation, or somehow stop a tyrannical government attacking them, all while people keep dying.

Also being content over the 15 killed and 60 wounded over the 4th of July weekend just in Chicago alone.
Barely reported.

Russian citizens are allowed to own guns as well, but the laws appear to be stricter.
Self-defense is an important aspect of Russian law, and the constitution guarantees the right to defend one’s property. In order to be eligible to purchase a firearm, one must be over the age of 18 and pass extensive background checks; those who suffer from mental illness or have a history of substance abuse are disqualified. Background checks are particularly stringent in regard to the mental health of a buyer, and the Federal Assembly is even considering a law that would punish doctors who misdiagnose or provide inaccurate documentation for mentally ill patients attempting to purchase firearms.
So can this be why Russia has far less gun violence? Doubt it.
Because most gun crime occurs in major American cities. To expand on this would not be politically correct and racist.

As far as reliability goes yes. If you're talking about the real AK's, not the copy cats.

1. I have no problem outlawing the externded mags. However, "extended" can be....five. THEN it's impossible to deal with.
and won't stop a pot brained young psychotic murderer. It's pretty quick to change magazines. The left redefines every word or phrase that gets in the way of their power over everything agenda.
2. Nobody under the age of 21/22.....I don't know. The killers in Colorado didn't buy their guns. They got access to the gun safe of one of their moms, I think.
3. More legit background checks - I'm good - except obaMao commie had a serious public education initative to wipe the slate clean of young people, and not hold them accountable. That was the case in Florida. Eveybody in school knew the kid was really screwed up. but...........no consequences.
What is missing all too often - is the symptoms of THC in pot - it is far more powerful than it used to be. Legalizing it made it a product to sell - stupid, stupid, stupid. Now, pot products have been developed that make it far worse than before. Psychosis systems in young people - look at THC.
Passing laws that only law abiding citizens adhere to....not going to fix anything.

This is bad on so many levels, I would not want my name to be associated with this. I would do what I was trained to do. Find a place to hide, lock the door, and call the police and wait for the shooting to stop. Only use my weapon if my life is at risk.

So if you are in a position to shoot an asshole who is killing people all around you, then you will just take care of yourself and everyone else can just die. You're right. That is just bad on so many levels.
EDIT: BTW who the fuck trained you to that?
