The more good guys packing, the better. And I think this is an accurate statement.
” Had the death toll been greater and armed citizens not shot the gunman we would have seen 10X the media coverage on this event.”
Yep. The bad guy was dressed in black and the good guys in white so there is never any doubt when the guns come out.
The bad guys are easy to spot. They’re murdering people in church at point blank with a shotgun.
Sure, in this incident it was obvious regardless of the color of clothes they were wearing.
But Dutchboy still makes a good point as it is not always that black and white.
Change venues here, say a crowded nightclub with the lights dimmed (We know this has already happened)
When the first shots are heard, everyone ducks for cover and panic ensues.
When “permit holding” armed citizen pulls his piece and looks around and see’s 2 or 3 other people holding guns…does he know who the shooter is?
Or another “permit holding” armed citizen? Or an undercover cop?
Shoot first and ask questions later?
All this is so tragic and becoming all too common.
