Rand: ‘Nobody Would Have Survived’ Baseball Shooting Without Capitol Police

Rand said, “I can tell you, that I think with absolute certainty, nobody would have survived without the Capitol Hill Police. They saved everybody’s life. Incredibly brave and deserve everyone’s praise, because, with this guy, who knows what his — how heavily armed he was, but nobody else had a weapon. So, he was just killing everyone — he would have. … They deserve our gratitude for saving — it would have been a massacre without them.”

And the Hag Hillary wanted to disarm and take away our 2nd Amendment rights and make us all defenseless ducks... I don’t go anywhere without my protection!
Thank God for President Trump!

but nobody else had a weapon. This is known as a "clue". A clue. Get one.

Once again the fact that a good guy with a gun is the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is obvious. That will be completely missed by the media...again.

Oh BS. 100 shots and five wounded? No one man could carry enough ammo to get the job done with that hit rate.

Excellent demonstration of why the sheep should have been armed.

Maybe it will start to sink in.

Read an article that said one person had a gun and “returned fire” to give cover while the others were looking for shelter. Wasn’t clear if it was a congressman or security person.

It was Scalise’s security person/ Capitol Police who returned fire/ was armed.

So far this AM I've heard several elected Republicans interviewed and my first impression is that as witnesses to a shooting they're doing a MUCH better job than what I've come to expect from mass shootings. And a better job than they do when questioned on political issues on the hill. They need to talk and act like this more, without needing to take incoming fire to bring this out.

In contrast the first law enforcement media briefing is all too familiar. Starts like the Oscars with everyone praising everyone for a job well done and saying absolutely nothing informative. A complete waste.

Thank God for these officers. I’ve heard they continued to pursue the guy even after they were wounded

This is what CNN had to say: After the shooting in Alexandria today during a Republican Congressional baseball practice, CNN reported on the event but failed to mention that an actual human was behind the attack and not just an inanimate weapon. Alana Mastrangelo ‎@ARmastrangelo Fake news @CNN thinks the gun woke up this morning and decided to fire at people all by itself. #SteveScalise 7:10 AM - 14 Jun 2017

Accuracy tends to go down when there's people shooting back.
