Recent police shootings upend NRA's 'good guy with a gun' theory

Opinion Unique cercumstances with constant black mall shooting violence led to this. Wish their were true black leaders that would help change the democrat slave mentality that blacks are addicted to. They have followed democrat masters to their deaths for decades

Opinion NRA supporters don’t even know what ‘upend’ fucking means.

Opinion Never waste a good tragedy to push an agenda. That's the spirit.

Opinion NRA and racism makes this theory BS, the racist NRA hasn’t even addressed any of the people of color who’ve been murdered trying to be a good guy helping others.

Opinion Thanks for the truth Mr. Alexander. Too much bullshit lies from the NRA and trump.

Opinion Relly 3 deaths upset the other 500,000 to 3,000,000 defensive gun use that happen yearly according to CDC 2015 report. Idk talk about a straw argument. That ratio

Opinion These are crisis actors. This is fake. Research these people and you will see. FakeNews

Opinion Never giving up mine

Opinion Another American Hero Murdered because of color skin. Where is officer that did shooting? Should have to face same law as citizens.

Opinion We need better Trained and paid Police. The better they are able to deal with really serious situations the less mistakes will be made and lives lost. The Cop should not have shot him but the mistake is reasonable. Why not take responsibility and compensate the family. Right todo

Opinion no it doesn't. He was running around with a gun in his hand. 'Good guy with a gun' doesn't apply.

Opinion The last black good guy with a gun was murdered by police!!

Opinion In 1996 the NRA lobbied Congress to pass the Dickey Amendment, which effectively stopped federal gun violence research. Since then the fed hasn't provided funding for any studies. If the NRA wants to prove their good-guy gun theory, they can lobby Congress to fund a CDC study.

Opinion We lost a military brother who was doing the right thing and saved many people. I’m sorry for the loss of a good person who made society better.

Opinion Since good guys with guns don't do anything that would include police. The police should quit responding. It isn't their responsibility to keep anyone safe. Their firearm is for their protection.

Opinion US is Republic with Constitution & Bill of Rights (which contains 2nd Amendment).

Opinion Not really.

Opinion Who’s that big dude on the right?

Opinion Nooo sorry your wrong once again when 95% of shooting are stopped by a good guy with a gun.

Opinion Those 2 cases were clearly an issue with the police response. Its not a gun issue, as much of an issue that police need to be trained to distinguish between an active shooter, and an armed citizen who is possibly defending themselves. Thats an ignored part of shooter drills.

Opinion Fake news narrative

Opinion The NRA's true mantra is a 'white good guy with a gun'. That's why the theory doesn't work.

Opinion No it doesn't! It does show, however, that the security guards from that company need better training!

Opinion “Good guy with a gun” doesn’t exempt one from acting/reacting in a responsible manner should this kind of situation arise.

Opinion People and reporters should stop mentioning the race or skin color of those involved. It really does not make a difference, but only serves to divide.

Opinion Oh yeah focus on the outliers instead of over the 5 hundred killings just this year in Chicago by other black men. Liberal logic. Chicago homicide victims - Chicago Tribune

Opinion

Opinion Unless you've been through tactical response and active shooter scenarios and have specifically trained for this you have no idea what you're talking about. I have personally been surprised and shot at police officers in scenarios. It's chaotic and confusing

Opinion Using outliers as an example is a failed arguement at best and intentional deception at worst.

Opinion Don't be an idiot carrying a gun during an active shooting when cops are coming, keep it holstered until you see the perp with a weapon. Don't walk with it in your hand and make yourself look like the perp. JS

Opinion Having a gun makes you 80% more likely to be shot. I love my gun free life. It's so safe. You all should try it. Use ring doorbells and surveillance cameras. Get a nice big dog. Less expensive and a lot less bloody.

Opinion No comments ,its I don't have rights of speech

Opinion Cops don't want too many guns out there.

Opinion Its 'good white guy with a gun'. Please stop acting as if its ever been any other way.

Opinion That's a black eye for the police, not for the NRA.

Opinion So it sounds to me that the cops acted inappropriate in both situations, but the good guy with the gun did stop the shootings.

Opinion If one case where the 'a good guy with a gun' theory doesn't work, and therefore it disproves the entire theory all the time, does that mean one gun's defensive use prove that the theory is correct all the time? That logic can work both ways, don't tell me the theory has no merit

Opinion If everyone is armed, how are the police going to quickly identify the bad guy with the gun?

Opinion Trus fungsinya polisi ap donk klau bgitu?

Opinion No it doesn't. This tragic story highlights the racism within a police department who assumed a black man with a gun was a criminal.

Opinion Then I guess the migrants who have killed Americans upend the “they are good people just wanting to better their lives” theory.

Opinion I'm sorry for their lose but & Left hate gun grabbing org will spit them out & his story sadly will be used to bury the newest news cycle coming up. All the Hearings in Dec.

Opinion The footage of the Hoover shooting has not been released yet. Calm yourself before all the facts are in place. My opinion will be based on what actually happened, not this tired narrative.

Opinion It means that we need more gun control is what it means. Police can't stop and ask questions to see if the person is a good guy or not.

juliawb Opinion Who REALLY thinks the nra would consider a black male with a gun a 'good Guy'?

Opinion One freak occurrence doesn’t delegitimize the entire premise. What happened was tragic but are we to start living our lives based on the “exception to the rules”?

Opinion Yet not one NRA member has been a problem

Opinion It does seem a more appropriate NRA tag line should be ‘A white guy with a gun can do whatever the damn well he pleases’

Opinion Move to China or Russia. Gunless societies! Live like a king! Live in paradise!

Opinion Another failed attempt to implicate the NRA. I can't stop laughing at these dimwits at CNN. FakeNewsCNN

Opinion Take a knee. Forget the NRA NRATV

Opinion so since cops mistakenly shot one good guy with a gun, all the thousands of lives that have been saved by good guys with guns never happened. All those people are actually dead.

Opinion Don’t they also upend the “only police should have guns” theory?

Opinion

Opinion Shall not be infringed

Opinion There are far more bad guys with guns than good guys with guns that choose to use them, So much for your theory! NRA

Opinion There are no good guys with guns. Only guys that know they have the power to kill because they have a gun.

Opinion Breaking: NRA is mostly full of shit and rest is air.

Opinion Pretty sure no NRA members in chiraq and there are thousands of shootings each year. Perhaps criminals don’t follow laws

Opinion I prefer the theory “nobody with a gun”.

Opinion The good guy with a gun was always a racist white supremacist propaganda.

Opinion LOL, anti-gun guy says that police shooting the wrong man means only police should have guns?

A Trauma Surgeon Who Survived Gun Violence Is Taking On The NRAWhen it comes to gun violence, trauma surgeon Joseph Sakran says, 'a lot of times people talk about statistics and numbers, but I think it's so important to move beyond that, because these aren't just numbers — these are people. Gun violence deserves to be firmly considered a public health issue first. Maybe he should clean his own house first...11,000 people are murdered by firearms each year...250,000 die to medical mistakes. 3rd highest cause of death in this country. Your doctor is more than 20 times more likely to kill you than a gun.
