The Only Thing That Stops A Bad Guy With A Gun Is...An Unarmed Black Man [View all]

The Only Thing That Stops A Bad Guy With A Gun Is…An Unarmed Black Man
by Ted Millar about 17 hours ago


According to the National Rifle Association (NRA), “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

Catchy slogan.

Perhaps it will change now after an unarmed African American man wrested a gun away from the man who opened fire at an Antioch, Tenn. Waffle House on Sunday, killing four and maiming several others.

James Shaw Jr., 29, overcame gunman Travis Reinking, 29, after Reinking entered the Murfreesboro Pike restaurant at 3:25 a.m. and opened fire.

So apparently the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is…an unarmed black man.

How’s that for a slogan? Put it on a bumper sticker.
