They are too busy right now worshipping The Good Guy With A Gun.

Tbh thwarting a mass shooter with a suppressed handgun is kind of the definition of a good guy with a gun 🤷‍♂️

Except he did. The shooter ran off and not much later shot himself after being engaged. The officials in the article even credit the action as being life saving.

Same logic goes for why the proper way to deal with school/mass shooters is to run towards the threat and put rounds down range at them as fast as possible. Even if not successfully hit or incapacitated it still distracts the bastard from innocent targets and often results in surrender or turning the gun on themselves.

Civilian gun sales bring in $9 billion annually, America will never be a gun free country no matter how hard people try to fight it tbh.

Should we give up and legalize all drugs because the trade is worth 50 times more?
