Law enforcement officials are calling Marlo Ellis a hero in the wake of Thursdays shooting at the Dollar General in Orrville. Ellis shot and killed Dallas County resident Kevin McLaughlin after McLaughlin entered the store, reportedly shouting and waving a gun.
Authorities said that as McLaughlin was leading a group of people into a break room, Ellis turned and used his own pistol to shoot McLaughlin. Ellis weapon was concealed according to Sheriff Harris Huffman.
McLaughlin was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting.
Dallas County Sheriffs Department chief deputy Randy Pugh said McLaughlins motive is still unclear, but the death appeared to be a case of self-defense.
We dont know what would have happened, but we know what could have happened, Pugh said. We see every indication that the shooting was a case of self defense.
Not many are going to cover it, because when you live in a gun fetish society, neither a thug pushing people around with a gun nor another guy who shoots him are unusual occurrences.
That's the price of gun culture. When you live in a continental war zone you get desensitized.

Looks like we have a case of a dude with a gun being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing. Great!
Now....how does this occurrence score political points for you again?

No. Sorry.

Gun fetish?
Then I guess all of our other Constitutional Amendments are a fetish also.

I'm sure you thought that was a great reply.....but it fell short. It made no sense.

And how would that be possible? A fetish requires an object. A Constitutional Amendment is a concept.
Our gun fetish is not related to our Constitution. It derives from culture. That's exactly why I term it "gun culture", which was kind of intended as a clue.
Constitution means laws; culture means values. This is about the latter.

That was an idiotic rationalization. A printing press is an object. Does that mean we have a press fetish?

We are returning to the wild west era. Cool.
Old people need to start packin' due to very young people thinking real life is a video game and killing said old people.
Regular Joes and Janes need to start packin', just in case an older or younger Joe and Jane decides things are in their favor because they have a gun but it turns out...so does everyone else. Kinda like that scene on Predator 2 when they were in the subways....thugs pull a gun on a guy trying to read his newspaper, then thug looks up and everyone in the car has gunS aimed at the thug.
Delish scenario, lol.
Around here in my neck of the woods, it's pretty sleepy. But 13 miles inland? Different story. 30 miles south? Dangerous different story. My 38 special goes with me. The magnum stays home cuz it's too big to fit in my purse.
And everyone should do the same thing. Especially nowadays.
So yeah. That guy IS a hero cuz once they were all packed in the back room...nothing was stopping the perp from killing them all.
btw...I have a fetish. It involves the value of my life or someone elses life that is threatened by someone else with a kill fetish.

So, because the firearm is memorialized in our COTUS that makes all other rights memorialized in the COTUS fetishes as well? It takes a pen to write, it takes a book to preach, it takes a house to be quartered etc.
I don't think you meant to open that particular can of worms but it quite ably demonstrates the limited thinking you enjoy.
