Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

Which is why, despite how many people own guns, there's never a report of a "hero" who used their gun to stop the mass shooter before anyone was killed.

Yeah, that's the thing that always gets me about the, "We should just arm all the good guys, problem solved!" crowd.

Let's put aside the fact that sometimes who the "good guys" and "bad guys" are isn't always so clear cut and black and white. In so many of the mass shootings that have happened, the shooter was NOT felled by some random citizen with a gun. Instead, one of these three scenarios usually wound up playing out:

1. They killed themselves, which takes the choice out of anyone else's hands right off the bat.

2. Law enforcement officials took them down. Which makes sense, because they, unlike your average citizen, are TRAINED to do things like that, and know how to get the shooter without endangering innocent people's lives further.

3. The shooters were tackled by citizens or law enforcement, arrested, and brought in peacefully. No weapons needed or used by anyone.

I don't know what exactly the "arm the average citizens!" crowd thinks will happen if their idea comes to pass, if they genuinely think it'll be like the movies and the badass action hero(es) will come in to save the day or what. But so far, the way most of the mass shootings have ended doesn't seem to lend much credence to their suggestion being a viable, necessary one.
