Labeled a "hero Good Samaritan" with a gun?

[imanamerican63]

I wonder if he gonna be as famous as Rittenhouse?

1. How does it relate?

This is indeed propaganda from the gun radicals.

How does the Good Samaritan story relate to shooting someone? Even shooting and killing a bad guy?

The New Testament story is about how a member of an 'outcast' group helping an individual who was hurt ... it is not about violence.

3. Well, the Rightwing Nut will use it for what it's worth.

Everyone should have a gun to stop bad things from happening.

4. They love to make up things not actually in the bible.

It's kinda their thing.

7. Yeah, its really a twist on the actual "good samaritan" biblical story.

But maybe its as close as these violent ones can get.

2. Rittenhouse was out hunting, this guy was just there and took action

Not the same situation by a mile.

5. He had a Glock.

He was legal under the new constitutional carry provision. He is 22.

This isn’t exactly the same as Rittenhouse, despite the fact that he was carrying in a no-gun zone. He just happened to be there when the shooting started.

Cops at the presser said the guy did everything right in approaching the shooter. But this sticks with me — a long gun and a Glock in a mall food court.

Yes, he’ll be a hero among the gun-humpers here, and proof of “it takes a good guy” BS. I’m anticipating that the general assembly will honor him on the floor with a resolution thanking him for his bravery (and good aim).

6. damn if they aren't going to use this guy as an excuse everytime someone tries to limit guns now

While I'm glad he was able to take out the shooter without causing more harm, FUCK!

9. Well that person can be reminded of uvalde

[LymphocyteLover]

12. Yes, good point

[Fullduplexxx]

8. Lives were saved give credit where it's due

[Raine]

10. He stopped another Uvalde, not the same as Rittenhouse

at all.

[Straw Man]

11. About as different from Rittenhouse as you can get.

He was:

a) just going about his daily business as opposed to inserting himself into a volatile situation;
b) old enough to legally possess his firearm;
c) carrying concealed so as not to draw attention to himself; and
d) stopped a murderous rampage.

Not the same. Not even close.

13. The guy he stopped had another rifle, a pistol and another 100 rounds

This guy saved many lives but it seems some pathetic people here would have preferred the deaths to push an agenda than a good guy with a gun.
