It is often said that a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun.
Aaron* was the good guy and was no match for what he went up against; a legal AR-15 with multiple high capacity magazines.
He had no chance.
Assault weapons like the AR-15 are known for three things.
How many rounds they fire, the speed at which they fire those rounds and body count.
*Refers to Aaron Salter Jr. the security guard (retired cop) who was killed at the Tops Supermarket shooting in Buffalo.
A woman lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who opened fire on a party with an AR-15-style gun, police say
There were 'good guys with guns' at many mass shootings that were of no use at all and in the case of Buffalo ended up dead themselves.
But you cling to that one.
And BTW when police arrive at the scene and two people are firing at each other, how do they know which one is the good guy and which one is the bad guy?
People are fed up with the usual arguments and talking points used by gun fetishists.
They are demanding action.
There is no good reason why an 18 year old should be allowed to buy an AR-15.
They can't even legally buy alcohol until they are 21 or rent a car until they are 25.
