It’s referencing parents who wanted to go in themselves to save their own children. I can’t imagine how horrifying it must b to be stopped by police. Police are the worst
Tbf then there’s other people, like that one dude in France that went in and singlehandedly killed like 8 terrorists with hostages with guns with but a mere AR of his own. Or the church in texas, where the paritioner took a 45yd shot with his glock on a guy armed with a shotgun.
In reality, who has the bigger gun matters much less than who can get shots on target quicker. These cops can hide behind the “well he had a scary rifle” all they want to, we all know it’s simply their cowardice and failure to act accordingly and follow their own procedures (which they had recently trained on and utterly ignored when push came to shove.)
You are seriously overestimating the “good guy with a gun” storyline. Yes, it does happen, but it’s extremely rare. And even if there is a “good guy with a gun” standing around when the shooting starts, they still have to react faster and more accurately than the “bad guy”.
Of course, maybe we should consider why there are so many shootings that the “good guy with a gun” storyline is even a thing. Even if it did happen more often, it’s solving the wrong problem.
There are so many shootings in the US these days that it’s not really even making national news any more, unless it’s particularly bad (i.e., body count > some number). There were two yesterday alone, for example.
You used to be able to purchase brand new military machine guns right off the wall until 1986, yet I struggle to prove that more than 3 people have died to civilian-owned machine guns. Semi-automatic rifles were widely available for decades before anything really happened. Here is the question: what changed between then and now that started the trend of mass/school shootings?

Fortunately that isn’t the case, those were just the few I mentioned. A bigger gun is not body armor.

The NRA didn’t invent physics, you give them too much credit.

Why are they so scared of guns? Do they think they were made to kill people or something?
