you to quantify that assertion.
You made a leap there in saying I "don't seem to care about the people who may have died".

Was the good guy with the gun really a good guy, or was this just another AR-15 murder spree? [View all] gulliver Jul 2022 OP

Why all the ForgedCrank Jul 2022 #1

I'm wary of the idea of a 22-year-old walking around in a mall with a concealed weapon. gulliver Jul 2022 #3

He was ForgedCrank Jul 2022 #4

Yep SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #5

Yes. BlackSkimmer Jul 2022 #48

At 22, he is an adult, not a kid. niyad Jul 2022 #75

I'm 60 SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #78

Nobody should be carrying a gun in a Mall or anyplace like that. rockfordfile Jul 2022 #7

Well except the guy that prevented more deaths. SQUEE Jul 2022 #11

What? Accept victimhood ? To accept victimhood is to give up against pos with AR-15s rockfordfile Jul 2022 #15

I have multiple reasons to own multiple rifles, in multiple calibers. SQUEE Jul 2022 #29

I have been pretty damn anti gun, but thatdemguy Jul 2022 #38

Oh dear Jeebus 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #47

Uhh, no, the hero didn't spray 20 some bullets, that was the asshole with the rifle, MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #55

Oh dear God! Sorry about that mistake 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #71

He sprayed the rounds? SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #73

Well one shot one kill 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #85

I'll ask you the same question I asked someone else on this thread SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #88

.... MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #92

In one of the reports DashOneBravo Jul 2022 #101

More bullshit, MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #76

I can't answer that and neither can you 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #83

Ahh 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #91

Nice trolling there, but I'm done, all you're posting is pure MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #93

If you had been at that mall SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #79

Naw, I'd be freaking the fuck out that the mall 48656c6c6f20 Jul 2022 #81

Give it up, MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #94

The discussion ForgedCrank Jul 2022 #62

Thank You!!!! MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #66

Yes. He will not be unaffected by this. The problem is the AR 15 not the guy with a handgun Walleye Jul 2022 #2

Both are a symptom of a larger problem Bettie Jul 2022 #41

That is kind of ridiculous. Personally, I am glad the shooter was stopped. Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #6

Same n/t SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #8

Agree nt Raine Jul 2022 #10

"This" shooter was stopped. He should have been stopped before he could be a shooter. gulliver Jul 2022 #12

Yeah and SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #13

The world you're calling "perfect" is much easier to get to than a good guy with a gun strategy... gulliver Jul 2022 #17

If it's so easy SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #18

Here's a very simple question SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #19

Yes, and I've given you no reason to think otherwise gulliver Jul 2022 #31

Actually you have SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #32

The comments here are ridiculous. Stopping mass murder is a Good thing. Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #61

Nobody is claiming otherwise kcr Jul 2022 #103

"More wild west scenarios of good guy guns vs bad guy guns is bad." EX500rider Jul 2022 #111

There will be more scenarios of bad guy gun kcr Jul 2022 #112

Well that isn't going to happen anytime soon. So I will take what I can get. Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #99

Of course it's a good thing the shooter was stopped Bucky Jul 2022 #37

He wasn't the first citizen to stop a mass shooting Raine Jul 2022 #9

It's not the number of preventions that matters, it's the rate. gulliver Jul 2022 #21

Wow SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #23

Well, of course I didn't say that or imply it in any way. gulliver Jul 2022 #25

Your words, not mine SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #26

Right, and it's clear the context is that a failure to accept sensible gun control... gulliver Jul 2022 #27

I notice you haven't SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #28

The event wasn't a win. gulliver Jul 2022 #30

It's certainly a win SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #33

Can't disagree gulliver Jul 2022 #36

What an insulting and ridiculous argument Bucky Jul 2022 #42

No one SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #45

Actually Bucky one person says it's like boats. Let the leaky boats sink while you find out why Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #68

That is basically it...the bodies would have advanced our cause...well not mine. That is some Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #64

This thread has confirmed something I have suspected sarisataka Jul 2022 #74

I know right? Some seem to believe the more bodies the better and by stopping the shooting, Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #86

Yep DashOneBravo Jul 2022 #98

Let's take that ForgedCrank Jul 2022 #39

It can often work that way gulliver Jul 2022 #44

So hey some more dead...probably some of them kids Need to die for the greater good and they Demsrule86 Jul 2022 #67
