In reply to the discussion: PA LAC stops murder spree [View all]GreenStormCloud
(12,072 posts)29. Impossible! It didn't follow the antis script.
According to the anti one or several of the following must happen if an LAC tries to stop a mass shooting:
He will misidentify the shooter and shoot the wrong person.
Even if he does correctly identify the shooter, he will miss and hit innocent bystanders.
The police will arrive and shoot the LAC.
He will get shot by another LAC who thinks he is the active shooter.
He will freeze up, wet his pants, and cry for Momma. (An anti actually posted that LACs would do that in a crisis.)
Instead of all the anti-gun, hand-wringing, stuff that they predicted, he shot the perp and stopped the crime, thereby saving an unknown number of lives.

You are ignoring the simple fact that at this time your idea is politically impossible in the USA.

How is it any different than distinguishing between good and evil photographers?

I'm sure this will be as effective as the War on Drugs You Can Grow in Your Basement.
