It is strange that you never hear the NRA or anybody else in the 99% of killings that end bad as there is no "old Good Samaritan" to help. With a ban of guns we would not need "old Good Samaritan" as there would be not that much shootings. Yesterday at a Mc Donalds a man pointed a gun at the girl who took orders. She called the police. Police came and arrested the man. There was a 4 year old kid in the car. The kid took the gun and shot at the police because he wanted to rescue his father. That shows the effect of the second amendment on children. For them it is normal just to shoot a human.
Do you have a link? Because I can't find that. And if his ID is kept secret, I'm not sure how the news would have anything on it.
%% No wonder the dead duck shooter picked that mall=FOX 59 News[Indy] noted that mall was ''Gun Free Zone'' Indy AG in JUNE released a gun owners bill of rights, in line with the NRA,GOA,JFPFO; '' in general its not illegal to ignore a no firearms sign'' The mayor mr Meyers is right , the good guy with a gun was a good Samaritan +pray for those families..........................................................................................
Sapirman, 20, Greenwood, was seen on video surveillance entering the mall through a door near the food court at 4:54 p.m., Ison said. He spent an hour inside a bathroom before coming out shooting. Sapirman purchased the Sig Sauer legally at a Greenwood store on March 8; and the M&P 15 at a Greenwood store on March 9, 2021, Ison said.
"Gun Free Zone" equals "Mass Shooter Zone"-----Do you typically see a mass shooter go into a biker clubhouse?
Even if half of them are suicides, there are still thousands of innocent deaths. These suicides are no excuse to minimize or even accept the other deaths.
No one is minimizing them. The fact remains though that you and ilk tout the number of gun deaths as if they are all mass shooters when yearly those deaths are 100 or so, The numbers of suicide gun deaths are a full 62%, around 24,000 or so, of the total. You are being disingenuous when put forth your arguments.
Here's another fact-- While 374 people were killed using rifles such as the AR-15 in 2016, 656 were killed using what the FBI calls “personal weapons” like fists, hands and feet. This includes physical altercations and incidents of pushing. Another 472 people were killed that year using a blunt object. The FBI lists hammers and clubs as examples.
