So, The GOOD GUY With The Gun DIDN'T Stop The Bad Guy With The Gun. FUCK YOU, LaPierre!

"The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a GOOD guy with a gun." -Wayne LaPierre


Well, apparently there WAS an armed deputy at MSD High School while Cruz was murdering kids...AND HE DIDN'T EVEN GO INSIDE.

Wayne LaPierre's proverbial 'good guy with a gun' failed to stop the bad guy with the gun. And you know what? I DON'T BLAME HIM! If I were armed with pop gun, I wouldn't want to go in and face a suicidal psychopath with an assault rifle and hundreds of rounds of high velocity ammunition either.

I have news for you. 'Hank' from Breaking Bad is a FICTIONAL character. No minimum-wage rent-a-cop is going to stand up to a machine gun! And if he won't, NEITHER WILL A TEACHER. These gun-fetish idiots have really perfected cognitive dissonance to a science.

otherwise you'll just be a sitting duck unable to defend yourself from this fictional situation. Build the wall!

In a matter of days, I suspect the guy will 5150 himself and then claim lifetime disability for the trauma.

Some people, like LaPierre, think they are somehow bigger and better just because they have a gun. They know people are afraid and threatened by others with a gun and they relish this empowerment.
Hole in the argument is that "bad guy with guns" don't give a shit.
LaPierre and crowd only want to have the sense of superiority they get and would in all likelihood shit their pants before they could draw their gun.

Wayne LaPierre must be watching too much TV and too many movies even to bother with the reality which belies NRA fantasies.
