(54,770 posts)stopped Loughner after shooting Gabby Giffords, while armed people in the audience were diving for cover or messing their pants.
And unarmed Congresspeople could stop a bunch of killings in the future if they had the guts to do it and didn't take white wing gunner money at the expense of society.

he dropped the magazine while trying to reload. A woman grabbed the magazine while someone belted him on the head with a folding chair. Then 74 year old Bill Badger (a retired Army Col) tackled him.
The only known armed person was not at the meeting but showed up immediately afterward to help subdue Loughner.

Fact is Guns, "Good guys with guns will save us," and all that BS is as much responsible for these tragedies as anything else. All we get from the gun culture is BS.

I don't believe that good guys with guns with save us. Guns are for personal defense and only if necessary.
