Media praises gun owner

JK - doesn’t fit the narrative An armed pastor stopped an active shooter in a Walmart parking lot. If the shooter had killed multiple people, it would be ALL OVER mainstream media. Once again, good guy with a gun stops bad guy with a gun. Lives saved. MSM narrative incomplete. Remember, “if it bleeds it leads” = advertising dollars 💵 https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/police-armed-civilian-took-down-shooter-at-washington-state-walmart/771791480

Sure. Now tally up how many such incidents are prevented with a gun vs. how many that get perpetrated with the gun. Next step, how many lost vs. how many saved.

Turns out the CDC did that. Then buried the report: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulhsieh/2018/04/30/that-time-the-cdc-asked-about-defensive-gun-uses/ TL;DR: defensive gun use is at least as high as criminal offense gun use. I.e. lives saved by good guy with a gun > lives destroyed by bad guy with a gun.

Keep posting the 1 example in 1000 where a gun leads to a positive rather than a negative outcome. That will definitely change our minds
