        Insane. Imagine if a citizen had a firearm to stop the attacker.

        We had a father stop an armed robbery at a burger joint in my hometown last week. He was eating with his son and a guy came in with a gun to rob the place and shot someone. He pulled out his gun and shot the robber dead and probably saved many lives.

        Yeah well there were 12 people gunned down just yesterday, so this whole gun thing isn’t working out real well for us Americans.

        Perhaps if someone in the bar had a firearm they could have stopped it sooner like what happened in my hometown last week that I previously mentioned.

        Why does everyone keep discussing the weapons and not the cultural issue. Regardless of the tool used it is a societal issue not a hardware problem.

        Wrong. It’s a hardware problem. Please stop. Your stupidty is breaking the internet. And don’t even start that shit about knives & cars & things b/c the US homicide rate per capita isn’t much better. So just stop ✋🏼pic.twitter.com/WCM9iHvKtG

        He had a knife and someone with a shopping trolley helped stop him. Grateful this lunatic could only get his hands on a knife and some bbq gas cans and not a gun.
