Haven’t said that yet but continue to cling to the spin and fabricate what you want to believe is my position. I know you have to keep it simple and personal because you cant argue the facts

From the article you quoted, but apparently didn't read:

Again, crisis, do you think the people in the church were better off because there was a lawfully armed civilian present, or not?

Yeah I read it. The delusional lady who thinks god speaks to her shot him first. So in this case it would be fair to say that she may have prevented more deaths. He also may have killed himself anyway, many of these guys seem to take that option at some stage in these massacres.

However whatever outcome came to pass does not dismiss the fact that your gun culture results in more mass shootings than any other country. Your gun culture results in millions of your citizens possessing guns and when some of those millions misuse them you may very well be grateful some of the other were in a position and lucky enough to be able to use theirs to have some impact on the situation.
The logic being not to avoid the situation but to allow it to flourish and hope that you will be able to avoid some of the consequences because others were able to intervene with the same objects that allow the carnage to occur.
