Double negative for the MSM.   A firearm used to save lives and a minority shooter.

Only way to kill a Bad person with a Gun, is a Good person with a Gun. 

Like the cops in Uvalde ? 

Precisely how many examples of a 'good guy with a gun' stopping a mass shooting (aside from law enforcement) can you site since 1994 ?

Dude those Cops stood down. 
Parents were tackled from entering. 
border patrol agent was close and tried to assist was told to stand down. 
 

Also this school weirdly ran multiple drills for active shooters and yet they did not follow any of the things they were trained to do….

lots of questions that won’t ever get answered. 
 

there are examples of Good Guys with Guns everyday in America. 

You sure got those anti gun zings down pat for a “Gun Owner“ xD

How many instances of defensive gun use are there each year?

The number of DGUs, as these incidents are commonly known, is hard to pin down. Law enforcement agencies don’t typically classify DGUs as a standalone category. The FBI tracks justifiable homicides, but states aren’t required to submit those figures, so the data is incomplete. And the FBI figures omit defensive assaults, in which someone fights off an attack, and brandishing's.

According to the survey, firearms were used defensively in 166,900 nonfatal violent crimes between 2014 and 2018, which works out to an average of 33,380 per year. Over the same period, defensive gun use was reported in 183,300 property crimes, or an average of 36,660 per year. 

Taken together, that’s 70,040 instances of defensive gun use per year.

According to almost every major study on the issue, Americans use their firearms defensively between 500,000 and 3 million times each year.

Uvalde was beyond fucked up in all facets 

Grew up with a fishing pole in one hand and a firearm of some nature for hunting in the other.  I'm not a 'gun nut' or NRA cheerleader though, so does that disqualify me from meaningful conversation? 

Frankly, I find most gun nuts detached from reality.

You will NEVER see anything on any news outlet about how many lives were saved or how many violent crimes were thwarted by people with firearms. That is never discussed

The Gun Nuts are totally fucked also I agree. 
that’s the problem we have 2 polar opposites with the normal Guys like us stuck in the middle. Divide and conquer once again, I’m guessing by design

One would think the NRA would have some information to back their assertion that their political parrots continue to caw.
