While speaking Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering (D) suggested an armed citizen engaging the July 4 parade attacker would have meant “more carnage.”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) asked Rotering, “How much can we count on a good guy with a gun to stop a mass shooter when the mass shooter has an AR-15-style ‘assault weapon’ that can empty a 30-round magazine in about as many seconds?”
Rotering responded, “A good guy with a gun would have had no impact on the shooter.”
She went on to describe witness testimony of the sounds of bullets ricocheting and added, “And we had good guys on sight who were trained, who got there within seconds, and it was just too hard to see where [the attacker] was.”
Rotering mentioned a rifle round’s effectiveness against certain types of body armor. then said, “I think the fact that we had less than a minute should tell anyone who thinks a good guy with a gun would have had an impact, the only thing you would have happened would have been more chaos, more carnage.”
On Sunday, an attacker with a rifle opened fire in Indiana’s Greenwood Park Mall and police noted that 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken drew a handgun and “neutralized” the attacker in 15 seconds.
The NRA noted that Dicken began engaging the attacker from a distance of 40 yards. Dicken fired ten rounds, hitting the attacker with eight of those rounds and ending the attack.
Dicken does not have any formal police or military firearm training. Rather, “he learned to shoot from his grandfather,” WTHR pointed out.

Yet these vile Rats want guns for their security guards and police.
Nauseatingly stupid.
So, ‘dick’ dustbin, did the shooter have a KelTec S2000? Does it fire lung popping 9mm ammo? How many set of lungs were recovered? Does branDUHn know? 🤔😠
Tough to do when the shooter is on the roof.
The Highland Park Antifa was in a concealed position.

How about by shooting them? A magazine that can be emptied quickly does not save one from being shot. Especially if one just emptied the magazine.
Different situations.
In Highland you had a shooter on the roof shooting into the crowd. In Greenwood you had a shooter in the food court.
On the other hand, Elisjsha Dicken shot his opponent with a pistol from 40 yards and hit him with 8 out of 10 shots. That is really good shooting. He might very well have been able to engage Crimo.
She looks like a Karen, forever angry at the world because she was not asked to the prom in high school.
One of the cops stood around in the hallway while his wife, a teacher was in there getting murdered along with a bunch of others.
Hope his conscience is eating him alive.

How about shaking in fear on the floor hugging your knees?
That’s while you wait for your tax dollars at work to send the onrushing daredevil police in to save your life.
The Founding Fathers thought past the returning British and French and tried to imagine future types of dangers the armed citizens would face.
He might well have forced him to keep his head down, at least.
Protip for any teenage girl:
If you look like you are forever angry at the world, you will NOT get asked to the prom.
People like this Mayor, who clearly don’t know what they are talking about should keep their mouths shut.
Crimo doesn’t strike me as being all that dedicated to his cause. Could be that he would run for it if he took return fire.
Then how the heck to you expect her to advance her career?
That was good shooting for the Indiana boy.
