Was the good guy with the gun really a good guy, or was this just another AR-15 murder spree?

42. What an insulting and ridiculous argument

Don't be intentionally dense.

High capacity rifles, including semi-automatics, should be heavily restricted because they serve no reasonable defensive purpose and because they're too easily used to shoot up crowds. As the "good guy with a gun" in this tragedy showed, a simple handgun gets the job done.

As you know, the good guy with a gun scenario hardly every plays out like the rhetoric suggests. It's such a rare occurrence. A society has a right to be pro-active in preventing frequently occurring tragedies and atrocities like mass shooting incidents. Counting on a level-headed, armed civilian to step in at the right moment and take out the shooter amounts to little more than sending thoughts and prayers after the fact.

Everyone's relieved the would-be mass murderer was stopped cold. We're just not willing to put our faith in near-miracles stopping the next Buffalo, the next El Paso, the next Uvalde, the next Las Vegas, the next Parkland High School, the next Pulse Nightclub, the next Nashville or the next Nashville or the next Nashville
