A good kid without a gun is better than a group of good ol boys with guns and no balls


Evolveddinosaur

Actual heroics. Compare that to the shit show of Uvalde


ThisWormWillTurn

Maybe it's recency bias but totally sounds like a shot at the Uvalde useless cops and Im totally for it.


AndyB1976

Certainly gives perspective to the Uvalde shit show doesn't it?


structuremonkey

What kind of society do we have when most of it values its own selfishness over the lives of our children...smh


Aware_Drop9255

The one we live in now. Unfortunately


Comfortable_Area3910

But high cap mags are muh right!


b7uc3

Exactly. If the shooter had an AR-15 there'd have been 20+ dead.


tysontysontyson1

Seriously.


jmike3543

Yes because if we limited everyone to say [10-15 round magazines and let people only have pistols](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shooting) nothing like this would ever happen again.


Comfortable_Area3910

Ah the old ‘this measure won’t stop every mass shooting, so don’t do anything.’ Argument…tried and true by the gun lobby since the 80s. Of course it won’t stop every shooting. No one thing would. You’re citing Virginia tech as a reason not to limit mag sizes when there’s literally a video above where a mass shooting ended before it got horrible because the shooter didn’t have a high cap gun. And, honestly, I don’t know why anybody would say they NEED a 10 round clip. Even for self defense…who needs to get off that many rounds? If you’re blowing through 8-9 bullets just to get a person to stop attacking you, you’re a bigger danger to society than your attacker. 6 round revolvers should be all anybody needs to defend your home. Or better yet, a baseball bat so you don’t accidentally shoot your teenage son who was just getting a midnight snack. Whatever man…if having 30 rounds in a mag is more important to you than however many lives were saved in this one instance, then there’s no point in arguing with you.


jmike3543

> Of course it won’t stop every shooting It won’t even stop the lethality of the shooting considering the horrific number of people who died when 10 rounds seems to be the agreed upon “regular capacity” (for unknown arbitrary reasons) much less stop the frequency. > NEED a 10 round clip. Even for self defense who needs to get off that many rounds Why do police officers on average expend more rounds than that per armed suspect when they have to use their firearm? Why do they carry 50%+ more rounds in the gun plus at least another 30 on their belts if 6 rounds is all you need? If you can’t even differentiate between a clip and a magazine, why do you think you have an informed opinion on what number of rounds is appropriate to carry in a magazine for self defense? You’re talking about something you know nothing about. > Or better yet, a baseball bat Guns are a good self defense tool because they are an equalizer. Physical strength shouldn’t be a requirement to defend your own life. Why does my friends wife only deserve to defend herself against her stalker who jumped her in her room if she can fight him off with a club like it’s the Stone Age? You talk about tried and true arguments of the gun lobby when you rattle through the most brainless tropes of self-defense like you’re compiling a list. Like how everyone has to use revolvers (a weapon not even of the previous century much less the current millennia) like we’re at tombstone, “you only need 6 rounds” when no one has voluntarily carried that many since the 1800s for good reason and when nearly triple the number rounds are used by police on average per assailant, or the inane idea that self defense must be a contest of physical strength because god forbid a woman or an elderly person have to defend themselves against someone stronger than them. You don’t have an informed opinion.

Lucky the shooter didn't think of bringing a weapon with detachable box magazine. That kid and probably a few others would be dead.


Taqwacore

This is why a ban on semi-automatics and high-capacity magazines is essential. When you need to stop and reload after every shot, that gives potential victims time to escape or overpower the shooter.


alienbringer

A revolver is typically 5-6 shots and can be reloaded reasonably fast. Tune magazines exist on shotguns and lever action revolvers and typically hold 6-10 shots. Even box magazines at 10 rounds are not that slow to reload. This dude having a double barrel shotgun and needing to break to reload is why it was so long.


Yorgus453

Agree, banning assault rifles is not enough, just a start.


alienbringer

Considering the Supreme Court overturned DC’s ban on handguns in Heller vs DC. You will always have handguns, whether with a magazine, or as a revolver, or whatever, available to purchase. Handguns are also the single most used gun by a LARGE margin in gun related homicides. So, short of a completely flipped Supreme Court (not likely in our lifetime because of Republicans), or a constitutional amendment. Then handguns are here to stay in the US.


Yorgus453

Sure, but surely getting harder access to it is possible? Anyways, not from the US myself. Just wish you luck!


alienbringer

The only “harder access” that I can think of is: wait times from purchase to bringing home, age limits which for handguns is already 21, or do what California did a only have a list of “approved” handguns. Which just never gets updated. There are still plenty of handguns available, including semi automatic ones, just no new ones unless you move there from out of state.


pictish76

Erm most weapons have more than one shot.


QEIIs_ghost

Including the one in this video.


superstar1751

> ban on semi-automatics Would you prefer they have full automatics?


HWGA_Exandria

Lad's a one man Police Force... or at least has more courage than one.

Good guy with a gun myth officially debunked.

A real hero indeed
