To my knowledge, no one on here is a law enforcement expert. To that end I'll listen to those who are and they agree that the man who first engaged the church shooting animal did indeed stop him from killing more people.
Yes, he used an AR15 which the gun hating left deems incorrectly as an assault weapon. Yes, he did run the risk of his stray bullet hitting another person. The fact is this guy was a trained shooter and apparently had the skill or the God given luck to hit this guy where his body armor didn't protect him.
What exactly is the left looking for? Do you all want guns banned completely? Do you only want high capacity/velocity weapons banned? If the latter, please tell me how you'll get those out of the hands of the bad guys. I'd love to hear you explain to the hero last Sunday that he should have only been allowed to use a single shot deer rifle or perhaps a six shooter.
My guess is if this ever happens to a gun hating liberal they will beg for someone with a gun, any type of gun to come to the rescue.
Yes, this is another national tragedy. Yes, this was a mass shooting. You can't blame the weapons or the NRA or the GOP for this unless you live in a fantasy world where bad things don't happen.
Maybe we should form two Americas. The west side of the country will become Liberal America where pot is free, guns are verboten, voting and welfare need no identification process.
On the east side of the country are Jack Daniels drinking, gun toting, second amendment believing conservatives who take care of their own and don't ask for the government to swaddle them.
Which America do you think the criminals would gravitate to?
