Quote:Texas gun rights group reenacts Paris massacre with ‘armed civilian’ — and everyone still dies
Quote:Over the weekend, a Texas gun rights group repeatedly reenacted the Charlie Hebdo massacre in order to determine whether it could have been prevented if one of the editors or cartoonists had been armed, CBS DFW reports.
Members of the group, “The Truth About Guns,” recreated the Hebdo offices, then took turns playing the role of the “armed civilian” in the scenario.
No matter how the situation played out, though, one thing remained consistent — if the “armed civilian” confronted the attackers, he or she died. The only time the “armed civilian” survived was when the volunteer playing him ran away at the first sound of gunfire.
This is not terribly surprising. One person with a handgun against two trained men with automatic weapons has predictable results.
In some runs of the scenario, one of the gunmen was killed - that's better than no gunman killed.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
