THE Gun Thread

[The Architect Of Fate]

Nicely done. You came up with the stupidest solution!

 How about - the person subduing the attacker is more likely to be unarmed??

A 90 lbs grandmother is pretty unlikely to subdue a 200 lbs man with a knife - 

Unless she happens to be packing a 38 special - and knows how to use it.

Or we can ponder the other example I mentioned multiple times last night.





Fictionalised movie, but of a real event, with the real guys involved, doing what actually happened. Only firearms involved belonged to the perp and were never discharged once they left the shooter’s hands.

And if it happened in America and not France, it would have been in the “civilian subdues a shooter without shooting him” category that just happens to be be more full of examples than “bad guy with a gun stopped by good guy with a gun.”

But, hey, you can probably prove anything once you completely divorce abstract thought from observable reality.

I also like how he misses the point that a bystander isn't likely to take out the perp period so relying on them to do so is fantasy. The question of whether they were armed or not is an irrelevant aside.
