Funny, I just came back from the grocery store and there was an argument over by the bakery/liquor section. Only thing in my head was "Hopefully nobody pulls." Its actually been a thing I look at in crowded situations especially if there is a confrontation. It isn't rational at all, but I prep mentally for the moment I hear that pop. This is basically the world we live in.

as a new yorker, I rarely have to think that and people get into arguments often. most times you hope they don't throw something and miss.

Didn't it say the shooter had a rifle, that law has nothing to do with this unless you want to apply it the person who shot the shooter.

Look at the first response tweet.

Its not about stopping all, its about preventing most. Pass enough legislation, incrementally get guns out of the system over a period of a decade, and watch how the problem self-corrects to a degree. More gun proliferation is basically saying "None of that will stop it entirely so lets not try."

Cool

Now please show me where gun legislation has done ANY of that, over the past 40 years

I'll wait

Nobody said this NEVER happens. People with common sense simply point out the obvious fact that the "good guy with a gun" narrative happens so infrequently that it is statistically insignificant.

Again, so you're saying that the lives that this gunman saved are "statistically insignificant"

Why do you believe this?

You talking with a dude that thinks the earth is flat lol.

passive aggression is a feminine trait

Y'all deflect to flat earth everywhere but in actual flat earth threads

Because y'all know what happens in flat earth threads

 

[JerkPork]

have there been that many other “good guy with a a gun” situations during mass shootings before?

Yes there have been. I remember this one. He was killed by cops.

A 'heroic' man who fatally shot a gunman was himself killed by a responding officer, Colorado police say | CNN

The man hailed as a hero for preventing further bloodshed after a gunman fatally shot a police officer in Arvada, Colorado, on Monday was himself fatally shot by police, Arvada police said in a statement Friday afternoon.

And this one

How do you know when the US hasn't done the legislation yet. Where's your proof?

What??

New york has had some of the strictest gun laws in the country for a LONG time now

Tell me why gun violence persists in New York???

Why is gun violence currently trending up in New York?? The legislation was supposed to stop all that right??

Be specific in your explanation

 

[xCivicx]

Notice that the good guy /woman with a gun always happens to have just a handgun not an assault rifle

Yes, because they *gasp* ACTUALLY FOLLOW GUN LAWS

 

[xCivicx]

This the same talking point you see on twitter after EVERY mass shooting.

'Criminals dont abide by any rules!'

"Cant do nothing about it!"

Everyone needs a gun!

At all times!

Because we cant stop it!

Even tho it only happens in this country.

Huh?

Didnt a church in new zealand get shot up?

Didnt a summer camp somewhere in europe get shot up?

Didnt a mall in kenya get shot up?

What are you talking about??

Y'all just make any old uninformed statement and hope that nobody call y'all out on it smh

 

[Elim Garak]

have there been that many other “good guy with a a gun” situations during mass shootings before?

It happens sometimes but relative to the amount of shootings and people still getting killed not very many scenarios.

 

[xCivicx]

Even this shyt is incorrect

There was one at a kroger where a shopper shot back at the dude

Iirc the shooter went to kroger specifically to kill old black people

 

[bnew]

Cool

Now please show me where gun legislation has done ANY of that, over the past 40 years

I'll wait

the assault rifle ban that was allowed to expire under GOP governance.

 

[8WON6]

Uvalde police continue looking funny in the light. Regular person on the street stopping a shooter faster than a whole pd that trained for that exact scenario.

 

[OfTheCross]

No info on the gunman has been released.

Yeah...I'm curious how and when he purchased his rifle. And the motivation behind the attack
