NRA finally speaks on Waffle House shooting, says man who stopped it should have used a gun

The good guy without a gun saved lives, but the NRA wishes he'd shot back.

For years the National Rifle Association’s mantra has been that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. So after a good guy without a gun bravely put an end to a deadly mass shooting at a Tennessee Waffle House on Sunday, the organization took some time to formulate a response.

On Monday, Grant Stinchfield, host for the organization’s NRATV, praised James Shaw for his heroism, but simultaneously suggested that it would have been better if he had been armed and could have shot back.

“I will say without a shadow of a doubt, that man saved countless lives,” Stinchfield said. “There would have been many people dead inside that Waffle House if it wasn’t for James Shaw.”

But he then noted that it was “amazing” that “critics of the NRA are quick to use James Shaw as some kind of strange example as to why guns aren’t needed.” After denouncing “the left” for politicizing a tragedy before it was even over, he then suggested that things would have gone even better had Shaw had a gun.

Nope...and what would have happened to Mr Shaw if the cops had showed up and he was holding a weapon? These fuckers are sick!

6. It would only have been "better" for their propaganda

if he had used a gun. And it took them 2 days to formulate this response and THAT is the best they can do? Sick fucks.
