Texas shooting, half a shitpost? idfk 

You know, if ANYTHING was going to disprove your "Good guy with a gun" thesis, it would be a mass shooting in GODDAMN TEXAS.

@witchfynder_finder i had to read it finally

26 people is not a success for "a good guy with a gun" to be fuckin frank

@vahnj That's what I'm saying. Like, people want to push this idea that spree killings are that easy to stop but if it happened in a church in a small town in TEXAS and no one was able to stop it, I think maybe we should accept that it's not a good argument against gun control.

@witchfynder_finder maybe he stopped the guy from being *as* successful as without a good guy with a gun but it's still an unacceptable loss of life imho

@vahnj Agreed.

And I'm not even 100% for gun control. I think guns are good and people should have them. But I also realize America has uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh problems
