The Man Who Stopped The Texas Gunman Is an NRA Member

It was revealed yesterday that an autopsy of Kelley showed that he did commit suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

For the Left, this is where your road ends. This is where your narrative dies. For all the vicious tweets hurled at people of faith over this incident, for the mockery that ensued, and the tweets hurled at the NRA, it was an NRA member who stopped Kelley. I mean denigrating God is par for the course. It would be liberalism without it, but all of this NRA having blood on it hands etc.; the fact remains that an NRA member stopped it and members of this civil rights organization don’t commit these crimes and are not responsible for them. Period. In the span of the day, you stepped on all the rakes in this debate.

The HAGS and margabby giffords types do NOT care one whit about the fact that a decent law abiding citizen may have prevented further mayhem. They will only look at as instead of the NRA getting another notch in their belt, now they get two. Basically, to ease their feeble minds(?) Willeford should not have had access to weapons because he may have shot an innocent bystander. I don't know how many shots Willeford took but he had two hits on the perp. Under intense pressure. Thanks Mr. Willeford. And, I'm sure he takes no pleasure in having shot the perp other than knowing he probably prevented more death and destruction.

Did they say that he was bleeding out from a 5.56mm hit by Mr. Willeford, or were there no other wounds?

Do we know what weapon Mr. Willeford was shooting? Maybe I missed what he was returning fire with. Anyone? Bueller?

I listened to NPR report on the story this morning.

The fact that the bad guy was killed by a good guy with a gun was completely ignored and not reported.

All they reported on the gunman's demise is that "he was later found dead".

Somehow, some way we have to stop the liberal monopoly on news.

Hmmmm. NPR so...... Question is, was he bleeding out and ended it by his own hand as reported? I suppose the head shot was the finale but is it possible that Mr. Willefords shot would have led to the perps death? Is it why he crashed the truck? Also, apparently it took the LEOs 5 to 7 minutes to reach the crash site. In some cases, that’s eternity.

Once the perp ‘engaged’ with Willeford, the perp was wounded, dropped his weapon and fled to his vehicle. He was later found dead in his vehicle with 2 bullet wounds from Willeford’s weapon and 1 self-inflicted, fatal wound.

From the info, reports, articles, it seems that once Willeford ‘engaged’ with the perp, the perp’s attention was diverted and no other individuals (unarmed) were shot or killed. If that is the case, then Willeford actually did stop the rampage. I doubt the media/Libs want to broadcast that.

No, their take is that somehow Mr. Willeford should have sensed what was about to happen and his engaging did nothing to prevent deaths. Yes, these people are idiots.

Apparently Mr. Willeford had to stuff a mag before going after the shooter and was down to his last two rounds. Some lessons there.

On a number of other sites, they are calling for this fellow to be charged with attempted murder at the very least, to, as they say: “make an example of this wannabe, vigilante clown, and nip this sort of foolishness in the bud, and show, once and for all, that there is no such thing as “responsible” gun ownership”.
