āIt doesnāt look like he knew anybody at the restaurant,ā Mathews said, adding that Tilghman had no known history of mental illness and appears to have acted alone. The motive remains unknown.
Sometimes you donāt have to look very hard to find the answer. You do however have to look.
And yet he still had access to firearmsā¦ hell, even a CLEET certification as an armed security guardā¦ If this shooting last night had ended with responding officers killing him, this story wouldnāt have been postedā¦ The REAL issue is how easy it is for the mentally ill to get access to firearms but the ānarrativeā being promoted is about the two citizens killing himā¦ By the way, I fully support them killing him and think they likely prevented more injuries/deathsā¦ I have no problem with them at allā¦ What I object to is the continued easy access of the mentally ill to firearmsā¦
Access to firearms trumps everything. Some dude could be minutes away from being declared unfit, buy a gun and kill a two thousand 2 yos and the pro-2nd guys will still argue that it was legal. They just donāt want to give an inch. Well, unless it was their own 2yo.
Itās just the way it is. And why there is no fix. And why mass shootings and 26 firearm homicides will continue daily.
Come on, give us a little hintā¦ Outside of the active shooter training that all kids in the US now undergo (I know it makes me proud when a kindergartner can explain how to barricade in placeā¦ ) what extra training do you provide?
Do you fault the kindergartners personally? When should we start this training? Pre-K? I know, letās make it part of their well checksā¦ They will have to demonstrate active shooter proficiency or they failā¦ LOLā¦ You make a FINE spokesman for the NRAā¦
