Simple point. Kansas City shooting.

The shooting lasted less than two minutes. There were HUNDREDS of armed and trained police officers ONSITE at this shooting.

And STILL 22 people were shot and 7 have life threatening injuries, with at least one person killed.

Clearly a “good guy with a gun” is NOT a solution to these mass shootings.

From what I have heard so far, some guys had an argument that got a bit out of hand (a bit???) and they started blazing away at each other. How so many other people got themselves killed or injured is a mystery to me but if that really is what happened, one thing is obvious, if they had not had access to firearms, there might be a few black eyes and maybe a few missing teeth but there would not be the mayhem we have actually seen.

@Paulos_the_fog There were a lot of people there. Any bullet is likely going to hit someone. Another reason why cops with guns also wouldn’t help. Shooting at the shooter in a crowd would just kill more innocent people. We ajve heard the arguments. They have now been proven false. The problem and answer is the number of guns
