Yet again another shooter on a rampage in a pro-gun area, right outside of one of a place that sells guns and ammo and the police do their job and save the day and not the gun owners who claim their guns are for protection from violent criminals like this. yet another of many cases where gun ownership doesn't make anything safer because it is better to run away than to engage, unless you are the criminal shooter.
Opening fire in a public parking lot is a dangerous thing to do, if you took a moment to think about it.Yet again another shooter on a rampage in a pro-gun area, right outside of one of a place that sells guns and ammo and the police do their job and save the day and not the gun owners who claim their guns are for protection from violent criminals like this. yet another of many cases where gun ownership doesn't make anything safer because it is better to run away than to engage, unless you are the criminal shooter.

Unsubstantiated hyperbole and assumptions. As usual.
Kinda like how every shooting that isn't stopped has someone say "IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD A GUN"

There are reasonable assumptions, and unreasonable ones. It is reasonable to assume that if armed citizens had been present a crime might have been stopped. And then there's Tererun...
Did you bother to find out if either location had gun-buster signs posted? Because gun-buster signs have force-of-law in NC. You can't fault gun ownership if the public was prevented from having a gun at those locations.Yet again another shooter on a rampage in a pro-gun area, right outside of one of a place that sells guns and ammo and the police do their job and save the day and not the gun owners who claim their guns are for protection from violent criminals like this. yet another of many cases where gun ownership doesn't make anything safer because it is better to run away than to engage, unless you are the criminal shooter.
I don't worry about myself....I engage the target. He can't shoot you if he's dead.Maybe it's just me but if I'm in the vicinity of someone shooting my first priority is going to be the safety of my family and myself which means that unless the guy is shooting at me or I have a clear shot AFTER everyone in my immediate area is safe then someone else is going to have to take him out.
The cop wasn't a US citizen?Tererun didn't assume anything. An armed citizen did not stop this crime.
The cop wasn't a US citizen?

A man with a shotgun wounded one person outside a Greenville, N.C., law firm on Friday before crossing a busy street and shooting three more people in a Walmart parking lot, police and witnesses said.
Greenville Police Chief Hassan Aden said officers shot and wounded the suspect just before noon at an entrance to the store. A witness told The Daily Reflector that the suspect, a white man in his 60s, was shot in the face.
All were expected to survive, Aden said at a 3 p.m. news briefing.

Are you not saying what you mean? If not, then you should start saying what you mean instead of something else and expecting everyone to just know what you mean. We don't know unless you say it. Here's what you said:Are you seriously not understanding what I meant or just pretending not to understand what I meant?
What did you read that told you the cop was not a citizen? Is he a legal resident with a citizenship in another country?An armed citizen did not stop this crime.It is reasonable to assume that if armed citizens had been present a crime might have been stopped.
Ahh, when the cop responded to the call he engaged in a national discussion and took polling data to find out why he (the cop) was at fault for this shooting and what he could do better in the future, and then went home.He's a citizen...he just wasn't armed. He used diplomacy and reason to stop the shooter.
Cops are civilians. Always have been, always will be, no matter how much you mall-ninjas want it to be otherwise.Cops are not civilians

I was unaware that that police are in the habit of waging wars and no the war on drugs doesn't count. Did your local precinct deploy to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom? How about Iraq? How did your neighborhood cope without any police while the precinct was deployed? Police jargon has the term civilian to mean non-police. So, in that instance, even folks in the military can be civilians! Don't confuse jargon with legal meaning, the 4th Geneva Convention has already spoken. Cops are civilians.Cops are not civilians. Never have been, never will be, no matter how much you want it to be otherwise
