...The National Rifle Association (click here) quickly seized on the incident as "just another example of how the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," according to a tweet. The powerful gun rights lobbying group commonly touts the mantra as part of its strategy in the wake of gun violence to identify ways -- apart from restricting firearms -- to enhance public safety....
Or in this case, the injured. And don't forget, this is Oklahoma. States Rights dictates Oklahoma may need people to carry weapons IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CARS, but, that does not mean it applies to every state in the country. In my opinion, the willingness of the NRA to look the other way to the fact four innocent people were injured is scarier than stated anywhere in the article.
...Four people were injured during the shooting, including a woman and a girl who were shot inside Louie's while celebrating a birthday, CNN affiliate KOCO reported. They were hospitalized, said Mathews, the police captain.
Another woman also was wounded by gunfire, and a man fell and broke his arm after Tilghman began his assault, police said.
Police detained "a large number of witnesses" and, early on, said there was no indication of terrorism
"It's like, every day you hear the same story," Benton told KFOR. "But it was just very odd to be in the middle of it."
The heroes as they are stated here didn't carry a side arm into the restaurant. So, the entire focus of the NRA is propaganda and profits and not facts or reality.
We have seen other instances like this as well. There was the church shooting last year when a person saw the gunman leaving the scene and was later run down by someone with a gun. The end of the killing spree is always welcome no matter who ends it, but, the fact remains there is no protection from the initial assault. The NRA needs to tell the country how exactly they explain the dead, regardless, of the good guy with a gun.
