What happened in Greenwood, Indiana the other day is a highly teachable moment—one the gun control people would rather glaze over and pretend never happened. But it did happen and it needs to be seen—and remembered.
A crazed idiot with a gun walked into a shopping mall, which he believed was a gun free zone, because it was so posted. In his sick mind he planned to make a name for himself by having his way with the innocent people there.
He managed to get 24 shots off and, sadly, killed three people and injured two. But less than two minutes into his planned carnage a good guy with a gun stepped forward with other plans.
It’s often said when seconds count the police are only minutes away. Imagine the horror if this situation had waited for the police to resolve it. This is nothing against the police, they do their very best. But they are, and always will be, several minutes away. Our good guy had a gun, in violation of mall rules, and thank God he did. A minute or two into this rampage, it was over—the crazed gunman getting a fatal taste of his own medicine.
When is the gun control crowd going to learn that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy who also has a gun. If they had their way this young man would not have had his Glock—or at least not had it with him. And he would likely have been one of dozens of victims.
Would it be better if guns didn’t exist? You can make that argument, but to no avail. They do exist. By the millions. And taking them out of the hands of good people fixes nothing. It only makes the bad guys stronger.
Remember this incident and bring it up every time the subject of gun control comes up. Gun grabbers are wrong, there’s a reason they’re wrong, and this shines a bright light on that reason.
