Now we get it! The hero stopped the massacre with an AR-15. Funny how all the other sources simply refer to it as "a rifle."

“Now we get it! The hero stopped the massacre with an AR-15. Funny how all the other sources simply refer to it as “a rifle.””

yes, the guy that killed the people used an “ASSAULT RIFLE AR-15 (a Ruger AR-556)

The hero that stopped the massacre used “a rifle.” [Also an AR-15 btw.]

“The number one goal of law enforcement is to neutralize the shooter. In this situation we had two good Samaritans who did that for law enforcement,” Martin said.

That’s because it doesn’t fit the media’s narrative that black guns are only used for evil purposes. But it would have been too cool if he had used an M1. It probably have punctured the shooter’s body armor on the first shot.

One TV network had a gun ecpert on who said, “There’s never been an instance of a gun being used in self-defense.”
