A citizen with a gun took out the Texas killer as he fled.

[Thinker101]

And yes this is political as the demands for gun control if implemented could have allowed this killer to get away.

Nonsense.

No one is advocating prohibiting citizens from carrying concealed firearms; and any measure seeking to do so would be invalidated, as the courts have held such measures to be un-Constitutional.

At least you’re consistent at being ignorant, wrong, and a liar.

This ought to sink your boat.

He shot himself.

What call for gun control has suggested that a sane, law abiding homeowner cannot keep a shotgun in his home?

Idiot.

 

[jon_berzerk]

May have very well saved dozens of more lives had he had plans to go on a further shooting spree.

indeed you are correct

he hit him in the neck

the perp dropped his firearm and fled

cops found him dead in his vehicle

Link?

I read a reference to his being pursuded by a neighbor of the church.

Yet you and the nitwit OP can’t provide a link.

Not saying it isn’t true, it’s just that most conservatives are liars and can’t be believed.

Nonetheless the thread premise fails.

There is no evidence supporting the notion that private citizens with firearms act as a ‘deterrent’ to crime.

Citizens have the right to possess firearms pursuant to lawful self-defense, not to act in the capacity of ‘law enforcement,’ or to otherwise ‘fight crime.’

Here is an account of the armed civilian who allegedly shot the shooter ending the killing.........

Witness describes seeing church shooter flee

 

[Missourian]

Got to have your tools on you at all times now...even at Church.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Great.

Here's the difference between the UK and US.

In the UK the shooter didn't have a gun so didn't shoot anyone. Therefore the armed civilian didn't have a gun and couldn't stop the shooter not shooting anyone.

In the US the shooter had a gun and killed at least 26 people but the armed civilian had a gun and could come along and stop it.

The right wing in the US will therefore see this as guns being positive because guns stopped the whole thing, whereas without guns the armed civilian couldn't stop the shooter from killing people, even though he wasn't killing anyone because he didn't have a gun.

What a twisted place America is.

Texas Rangers: Armed Citizen ‘Engaged’ Killer, Ending Rampage

From your link:


"Our local citizen pursued the suspect at that time," Freeman went on. "A short time later as law enforcement responded that suspect right at the Wilson/Guadalupe County line crashed out and was found deceased in his vehicle. At this time we don’t know if it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound or if he was shot by the local resident. We know he’s deceased in the vehicle. "

Being followed didn't hurt. A brave citizen.

 

[depotoo]

Matters not. He hit him and he dropped his rifle outside the Church.

Or made the hoops for getting a gun enough to discourage the killer from getting one, and 26 people would still be alive today.

Possibly but do we even know how he got his gun yet? I assume it was legal as it was on his Facebook page before they took down his profile.

I don’t know. If he really wanted one, he could get one easily anyways since we’ve been so completely lax on gun laws for so many decades.

We aren't lax on gun laws...we have about 20,000 of them...we are lax in locking up repeat, violent gun offenders.....

 

[MACAULAY]

It sounds like this cowardly murderer, possible Antifa Inspired asshole---bumped into one of those "pain in the ass innocent by-standers" who actually means it when they say:

Don't Mess with Texas.

Reports are that the man shot him in the neck with his weapon.

Why is the left so desperate to disprove this? Oh yeah, never mind.

Yes indeed, filthy democrats are easy on crime because it pushes their bs gun ban agenda.

^

It's a fact liar. You bastards are always wanting to empty prisons. Democrats killed the bill sponsored by the NRA that would have made a crime committed with a gun carry a least 5 years in prison.

You guys supported the NRA’s stance that the mentally ill and potential terrorists on no fly lists should have guns.

Wrong asshat....it was the ACLU and 23 other mental health organizations....

Gun Control Laws Should Be Fair

But gun control laws, like any law, should be fair, effective and not based on prejudice or stereotype. This rule met none of those criteria.

In this era of “alternative facts,” we must urge politicians to create laws based on reliable evidence and solid data.

The thousands of Americans whose disability benefits are managed by someone else range from young people with depression and financial inexperience to older adults with Down syndrome needing help with a limited budget. But no data — none — show that these individuals have a propensity for violence in general or gun violence in particular.

To the contrary, studies show that people with mental disabilities are less likely to commit firearm crimes than to be the victimsof violence by others.

--------------------------
The ACLU and 23 national disability groups did not oppose this rule because we want more guns in our community. This is about more than guns. Adding more innocent Americans to the National Instant Criminal Background database because of a mental disability is a disturbing trend — one that could be applied to voting, parenting or other rights dearer than gun ownership. We opposed it because it would do little to stem gun violence but do much to harm our civil rights.

Even if his shot didn’t kill him, it stopped him from going on to kill more, as he had other weapons, but was wounded and pursued.
