The NRA chief likes to spout this lame aphorism every chance he gets:
"The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"
Au contraire, Monsieur LaPierre:
Meis, who was working at the time as a monitor who sits at a desk in the lobby, near the Hall’s front door, quickly moved in to pepper-spray the gunman, then he tackled him to the ground. Police arriving moments later moved in to handcuff and arrest the suspect, other witnesses said.
But hey, maybe some "good guys" with guns could have helped create even more chaos bloodshed by firing even more deadly projectiles all over the place. That really is an optimal outcome. Because freedom.
