Wow! She is really, really, clueless. Amazing.
“You might duck and be too late.”
You missed my point. She said in the video what happens if people are allowed to carry guns and a crazed killer comes in shooting people and then lawfully armed people pull out their guns and start shooting back. Then her question was, what are the rest of us supposed to do? Duck? My point was that even if lawfully armed citizens were not shooting back, that’s all she’s going to do anyways is duck...
I find her distorted, tortured logic disturbing on many levels; She would rather not fight back? She would rather others (other than law enforcement) not be able to fight back, possibly to her benefit. She would rather be a victim to a crazed mass murderer killing innocent than be bothered with the idea that others had the ability to stop that crazed killer. She would rather her safety be totally on the shoulders of police? Who don’t have to risk their lives for yours. I would rather be part of the solution, and try to stop the evil doer.
Heck, I would rather be accidentally hit by the bullet of a “friendly” citizen fighting back, while fighting the evil doer, than to just be victimized by the evil doer. To claim it is best not to fight back is, in this case, immoral. Pacifism is not moral high ground.
They had the suspect in custody when the shooting started. He was a former boyfriend of the girl who was killed and they arrested him outside the middle school that my kids attend. When the shooting broke out, they realized they had the wrong guy. Note: At the time, he was arrested, a kid was trying to sell pistols out of a backpack in that same middle school.
Then I think you mean that they had "a" suspect in custody, not necessarily "the" suspect. If an alarm system had existed, I doubt that it would have been triggered.
The liberals continue to seek some way to stop an armed killer from killing people that does not involve having the threatened people fight back effectively. I can't figure out how any creature with testosterone in their system can think this way.
