Virginia Shooting Victim’s Husband: ‘I Blame the Guy Holding the Gun,’ Not the Gun

On August 28, Tim Gardner, husband of Virginia shooting victim Vicki Gardner, said he does not blame the gun for his wife’s shooting. Rather, he blames the man who was holding the gun and pulled the trigger.

Vicki is the woman Alison Parker was interviewing when Vester Lee Flanagan opened fire.

According to Fox News, Tim Gardner said one of Flanagan’s bullets “grazed [Vicki’s] spine” without doing the damage a direct hit would have done. Tim expressed gratitude that it was not a direct hit and that it missed major blood vessels, as well.

He then stressed that the gun was not the issue, making clear his belief that Flanagan “would have acquired a knife or machete even if he didn’t have access to a gun.”

Tim said, “He was bound and determined to try to make a name for himself on live TV because he failed at it so many times. So no, I don’t blame the gun, I blame the guy that was holding the gun.”

Agreed. Although the White House quickly came out to agitate in favor of more gun control, even as the perp was another in a long string of obama’s potential sons.

Thank you for sanity in this terrible incident.

I wish Alison’s father and fiancé would go away and grieve for Alison instead of making the incident about themselves and the favorite liberal issue.

The rest of us want to be able to protect ourselves from evil.

“Bullshit. Listening to the father now?

Yes, we know that.

You do know that this article is about the husband of the surviving victim of the racist shooter don’t you, and not the Liberal father of the dead reporter?

Asked mods to delete my above post-wrong victim.

See my post above. Sometimes my brain has a fart episode.

The man hasn't even come to grips with mourning his loss let alone talking coherently..... He shouldn't be in front of camera's addressing any issues other than his loss. Go figure he wants gun laws then says he's going to get one. In his state of "mental" thought he would be considered a risk.

There is an Andy Parker listed as someone who ran for a Democrat delegate position. Probably the same guy. He was an actor too, before his current gig.

I know.

But I am glad the husband of the surviving victim has his head on straight.

And I am so sorry I posted my comment n the wrong thread. :)

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

That’s him. He referenced running for the House of Delegates.

for now...there will be another POS who tries to one-up’s this...in this day of ubiquitous digital recording devices, Pandora’s box has sadly been opened.

But this guy will get a fraction of the coverage the other father gets.

To the LSM the REAL victim is the poor black gay man whose mental illness was caused by racism and homophobia.
