      Well he was definitely a guy with a gun. So he was at least half way there I think.

      Those kids could easily grow up to be school shooters, so he’s really just a hero before his time.

          So if someone shot this man dead right before he murdered his child that person would not be a good guy with a gun?

            The thing about “good guy with a gun” is fucking bullshit

            Literally everyone with a gun is a good guy with a gun, right up until they aren’t. It’s an idiotic argument. The issue isn’t the people who aren’t shooting innocent people. The problem is the increasing number of people who are.

              Cops? According to the FBI it’s very common for citizens to stop criminals too. Literally hundreds of thousands of times every year.

                Source and how many of those wouldn’t happen if the money going to the gun industry went to education and social programs? What is the crime rate in the USA vs Canada where the culture is very similar but the number of guns much lower?

                  CDC.

                  Pardon me while I reset the simulation with your exact and specific parameters. I’ll ensure the confidence interval is beyond doubt.

                  Thanks internet scientist genius!
