You can't say that anymore.

The NRA orgasms over stories of how their guns do good in stopping gun crime.

Yeah, as long as their message will result in more gun sales, they don't care if it's true.  

And, yeah, there have been several shootings in Texas.  I mean, there was literally a shooting in an El Paso Walmart, a state that is infamously pro-gun and a store that has been very pro-gun and even sold guns at the time.  But several people still died and no "good guy with a gun" showed up, despite the fact that there was basically nothing stopping them.

We've been told that uniformed police or security would stop shooters, but then when we applied them, a judge specifically ruled that law enforcement isn't obligated to stop the shooter.  

Seems to me that guns are causing a lot more shootings than they're stopping.  The cases where a good guy with a gun stops a shooting are the exception, not the rule; but gun-boner people are prancing around like their rule has been proven.  That kind of thinking is right up there with disregarding the piles of pro-vaccine data out there because you found one or two doctors who say it causes autism.

We hear the NRA members all tell us how much they need their guns to protect themselves from a tyrannical government, but they didn't say anything when Philando Castile was murdered for telling police he had a legal, licensed handgun.  You want me to take you seriously when you talk about needing guns to protect yourselves from government and you're going to need to drop your love of the "thin blue line" and support gun rights for black people.  If anyone is having issues with government right now, I'd say it's hispanic people being sent to concentration camps; should they be able to use guns to protect themselves from ICE?
