HERO WITH HANDGUN Police praise armed 'good Samaritan' who neutralized gunman during deadly rampage at mall
-
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.

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.

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.

Disagree, the AK47 is a better weapon.
As far as reliability goes yes. If you're talking about the real AK's, not the copy cats.

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.

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?

I never had the chance to shoot a genuine AK47, but I fired a couple knock offs.
I have shot an AK74, and it was great weapon.

If the guy isn't standing directly in front of me pointing his gun at me or somebody else then I'm not going to hunt him down, it's not my fucking job. I'm not John McClane fucking Die Hard.
Yes it's bad on many levels, that our government can't come up with a solution to combat violence.
That ordinary people becoming the "hero" and becoming another shooter in an already fucked up situation
That we as Americans have to worry about getting shot at churches, schools, malls, pretty much anywhere
That a bunch of armed cops standing around in a hallway of a school while a gunman kills students
Now it's up to me to stop an armed gunman because the police can't? If he is not a direct threat to me or someone around me, I'm not getting involved. And who knows in this age potentially opening up the door to a lawsuit. This was pure luck and nothing else that this didn't go another direction, the "hero" could have accidentally killed a bystander.

This is what they want, right? Have the "good guys" and "bad guys" shooting it out in malls, on the streets, in schools, like the old west.

And yet a 22 year old with a pistol at some range did what 200 cops in Uvalve couldn't do......take out a bad guy.
I wonder what gun he used ? He might have been very good and had the shot.....or very lucky. Good for him.

So you'd rather have your name associated with "the guy who had gun but hid in the closet waiting for the shooting to stop"?
Before reading your post I've always took for granted that those having the desire to walk around with guns were not afraid to use them.

You're more worried about the hero possibly shooting a bystander over the certainty of the gunman killing more people. That is your example of this incident "going sideways"? Dear Lord.
True, police can't stop the gunman but only because in most cases damage has been done before they can arrive on the scene.
So yes, it's up to you. Don't act as though Ulvave is the norm to support your position.
Thirdly, and most importantly, it is not the job of the police to protect you or anyone.
The US Supreme Court has made it clear that law enforcement agencies are not required to provide protection to the citizens who are forced to pay the police for their "services."
You want to talk about lawsuits. Law enforcement agencies cannot be on the hook for every violent act committed by private citizens.
The police motto "To Serve and Protect" is a misnomer. They are not constitutionally obligated to do so.
So again, it's up to you if you have a gun.

Uvalde is one rare case out of hundreds that went horribly wrong.
This the Indiana case is one very rare case of the private citizen taking down a well armed killer.
Let's leave it at that, it ended quickly here.
