You don’t know that. That’s just a maybe. A big maybe. There is nothing about a suicidal shooter that makes him invulnerable to a bullet. If that were true then our troops could never kill a jihadi. The Irealis could never kill a jihadi. You’re just spouting nonsense like some little kid.

Already explained this several times. Yes it is possible but not likely someone could have taken him out. First a person in the immediate vicinity had to have a gun. The probability of that is low - with or without gun control. then that person would have had to get that gun out of their pants, holster, load it, aim it and deliver a round before being shot. That is also not likely.

So the article’s statement that “gun control sealed their doom” is not true based on likely outcomes. While it is always be better for citizens to be able to defend themselves in this case gun control did not make any difference. It happened too fast too early in the morning.

And I resent people butchering logic to make a point - which I agree with by the way.
