| Appears to be a tragedy that could have been a lot worse. Having a gun carrying hero, will certainly complicate the political debate. Is there any answer? |

| It's interesting that the FOX News headline considers the person a "good Samaritan" while the rest of the regular news outlets identify the person as a witness. Semantics matter to the audience for sure. |

Ok there Yosemite Sam.
Politics are so black and white right now one “incident” is not going to change Antibes mind nor will it muddy the waters. We like in a war state. It is what republicans want. To be the hero in a war movie. No one will change their minds over this. |

I’m the PP sorry about all the typos.
I wonder how the Good Samaritan feels about it all. At some Point it is going to hit home that he took the life of another human. Wonder if he was pro- life and how he reconciles that. I am glad I’m not him. |

The answer is we have too many guns, too few restrictions, and too many angry men in this country. |

All this Indiana Mall story tells me, once again, for the thousandth time, is that we make it FAR too easy for criminals and crazy people to get guns.
"Good guys with guns" doesn't change that problem one bit. |

So OP thinks the answer is to assume civilians will just get into firefights.
That’s totally reasonable. |

The answer is always more guns! |

Actually the answer is more laws to add to the 20,000 already on the books. |

Might want to revisit those laws because they aren’t working. |

Considering he, according to the article in WaPo, most likely saved many lives, I hope he feels amazing and heroic. Which he is. Doesn’t get any more prolife than this. |

He will say that, but you can bet at some point as he is falling asleep or dying or asleep he will have to process it over and over again. Just because you help Doesn’t mean you don’t have ptsd. Could all be avoided with more restrictions. |

| It’s sad how hard the pro-gun people are working to gloss over the facts that two people died needlessly because of their gun lust. |

Mall policy was to not even have a gun because of previous shootings. So yes...he probably saved lives, but this 22 year old cowboy is just as likely to be a menace as he seems to think rules don't apply to him.
I would also like to point out that I'd rather have no guns than some hotheaded, untrained 22 year old firing wildly and getting lucky. Is this really what we want? Gunfights in malls?! |

Yeah it is what they want. They want to be the hero I. The movie at the mall. That is their entire gun policy. |
