- Authorities are hailing a 22-year-old civilian as a hero after he killed a gunman. The good Samaritan, identified as Elisjsha Dicken, was legally carrying a handgun at an Indiana mall when a 20-year-old gunman entered the food court. Investigators say the gunman went to the restroom, stayed for an hour where he stashed his phone in the toilet, and then emerged with two semi-automatic rifles and a handgun. He started shooting, killing three people and injuring a 12-year-old girl, before he was killed.

#NBCNews #Indiana #Hero
Refusing to talk to the media is a good choice. You dont' want your act of bravery to be exploited.
No he saw what happened to rittenhouse and said F that
He can now BANG any MODEL he wants anyways.
For real.
@@liberalismisaids9564 preach 🙌
Exploited and twisted. I wouldn't trust the media today to represent me accurately if I was in a situation like this. I would stay quiet too.
Imagine if only one police officer in Uvalde, Texas had the balls to act as this kid did, how many lives could have been saved!!!
Or you know, if the teachers were allowed to defend themselves. These lunatics target gun free zones for a reason.
True
imagine if everyone had an assault rifle. dystopia much?
@@shaystern2453 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Many willing to. The problem was they were restrain and taken of firearm. The Chief needs to be charged.
The 22 year old hero had no badge no helmet no shield and no training, yet he had the courage that helped save lives, unlike the Uvalde police.
Amen👏🏼. Praise this young man
for stepping up in this life or death
situation. Superb, Elijah Dickens:)
Who needs a badge, helmet, shield, or training when you have balls that CLANK?!
The problem with the police these days is that they are psychologically profiled to weed out normal people with survival and protective instincts. They either want passive lumps of dough for patrol or psychopaths for detective and undercover work. They have had this here in England for decades.
Obviously he had training.
Thank god the bystander/hero was not in New York City or the DA would have him in jail pending charges for saving lives.
This man is a real hero. He saved at least 50-100 people.
let's all thank a real hero.
Yes, Republicans...who believe in the 2nd amendment
Salute 💯
We gotta keep an eye out for domestic terrorists along with the other mass shooters. 👍 Way too common now.
He should be the new chief of police in Uvalde Texas. 460 Cops waited for the criminal to run out of ammo.
This Hero deserves a recognition
A TRUE HERO! and he’s only 22. What a brave young man.
He killed a gunslinging teenager. What other country has teenagers with guns shooting up malls?
@@MPaxsu the gun man was 20 years old that's a grown man.
@@MPaxsu You're right. Though, when you have no more rights in whatever country you reside in, you can swallow your words. Perhaps you might criticize the accepted policies and viewpoints that are infantilizing the population in the U.S. That would be a good place to start.
@@kevinguthmiller8510 There are plenty of developed countries without gun problems and without guns among their people. America is the only country where an 18 year old can purchase a weapon but not alcohol. We are the only developed nation with a gun violence problem. Our government is developed in a manner where your rights cannot be all stripped away. Sounds like your education failed you, Kevin.
@@melomitchell8714 You think a 20 year old is a grown man? Are you joking?
Contrary to what people seem to think, this young man is an accurate representation of the vast majority of gun owners and concealed carry permit holder. Having the ability to defend yourself, your family and your community is what it comes down to. We don't want to use a firearm on another person. We simply want to have the means to act if the worst occurs as it did here. God bless the victims and God bless this young man. He did what he was trained to do.
AMEN!!!! well said....another ccp here
Yea... let's keep propagating the big lie Jeff. The top eight states in murder rate per capita are republican led conceal and carry states. So yea... MORE GUNS THE BETTER!🤢😅
Yes sir
Agreed BUT the VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICAN’S INCLUDING DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO NOT HAVE A GUN AND MEANS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, THEY SIMPLY WANT RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP. As an independent and a gun owner w a CC, I simply want people with a history of violence including but not limited to domestic, someone whom makes threats or is a threat, has a mental illness, schizophrenia and any person who is an IRRESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER to not have a means to shot up a school, a mall, a concert etc. And I’m sorry but an 18 yr old has no place owning a semi-automatic, times have changed an 18YR old decades ago is NOT the 18YR old today and there should be an age restriction on Semi’s…for god sakes they can’t even by a pack of smokes or a beer so they certainly shouldn’t have an AR-15… I truly wish people would STOP using the same lie they’ve perpetuated for decades about how “ThEy’Re gOnNa TaKe OuR GuN’s AwAy!” Nope, NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE AN AMERICAN’S RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES (well maybe the Supreme Court) THEY SIMPLY WANT RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP. It’s not the radicalism or “WoKe-iSm” GARBAGE THAT’S SPEWED ON “MEDIA OUTLETS” it’s just RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP… but that doesn’t enrage people, create “culture wars” and it most certainly doesn’t sell headlines so… 🙄
@@mrsimpleesarcastik3494 UPVOTE
Wow. The media actually covered this! It’s a miracle! Good job for you armed citizen Sir!!!
They covered it and this story will quickly disappear because it goes against the anti gun narrative.
As a "rarity". There's a wee bit of agenda here
When seconds count, cops are minutes away. Be Responsible for your own safety. Good aim young man.
I don’t need a gun I have a brain.
If there's a donut shop between you and the scene of the crime? Might as well call your loved ones and say goodbye
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 are you telekinetic or something
@@bakuisimpartialtoemu Yeah he can stop bullets with his mind. Once he does that he will politely ask the gunman to drop his gun while the Police take possibly ten minutes to come. And afterward he will show how he saved so many lives and-oh wait he got shot.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 you don't but your mom or wife or daughter will when they are alone and you're not there to do anything.
And he didn’t wanna be thanked for it either god bless that man
He didn't want to get the Rittenhouse treatment.
@@Anthony-pj4io Rittenhouse actually saved many lives that night… What do you think would have happened if he didn’t extinguish the fire in the dumpster those geniuses were trying to roll into an active gas station…? That was what caused him to be attacked, and be forced to defend himself…
@xamyx No, that was the guard with similar clothing to him that did that. It looked to me like a whole case of mistaken identity. Joseph’s earlier statement “Don’t point no gun at me!” makes it clear somebody antagonized him with a gun. My guess is, he mistook Rittenhouse for whoever that was.
@@Anthony-pj4io Rittenhouse shot 3 rioting thugs, Good job.
@@Anthony-pj4io Either way, Rittenhouse defended himself from a mob of criminals who had no business being out there that night… I’m just going by what was shown during the trial…
I love how they try to make this statistic seem minimized. This guy stopped the threat. He stopped it with his handgun. He's a hero. This is exactly why the good guys carry guns. That is all
If its rare, then more average Americans should be armed to potentially save more lives and reduce victims.
He took matters into his own and end the madness. This is the kind of people that does not have to be a cop to do right. My respect
“A rare outcome” for the media to report this story.
My point exactly. Just a couple weeks ago a woman stopped a miss shooting in Virginia. It happens a lot
@@peter_d It was in West Virginia, not that it really matters.
Yes, mass shootings are common wish they'd stop covering them, day after day after day. In China, they have mass stabbings. Guns are not our problem in America.
It’s a rare event besides what NRA and gun dealers want you to believe
@@peter_d they gave you the statistics, it doesn't happen a lot. 24 out of 464 cases a bystander shot the killer. But the real tragedy is how a country can let over one mass shooting a day occur and still do nothign
More of us should be as prepared as this man
Yep I’m trying. Been getting into 3gun competition to up my game as well for fun
This is a situation where concealed carry proved to be a blessing. The kid handled the situation well God bless him. He's a hero.👍👍👍
Most concealed carry people are good people.
@@derrickyegge1303 the ones who carry and are not a good person, don't even ask permission to carry
@@andresartori3916 I agree. Criminals don't follow the rules
This young hero has the natural survival instinct. Cool under fire. Snappy salute to you, sir!!!
There needs to be a major award given to this young man for bravery, one that is televised
Why. Not everyone needs to be bathed in attention.
Trump would have given him a medal. Biden won't even buy him an ice cream cone
It would be cool to have examples of True Americans given something substantial. Like a high teir paid medical or a stipend. To heck with medals.
There will be..... after Trump is given back his stolen white house....
God bless this young man! I’m sure he never wanted to be put in this situation. I pray that he can find peace in knowing that he saved many.
So why did the police put him in handcuffs? Shame on them!
Amen 🕊💙
And a very lucky hero too, had he struck anyone innocent, he would be in a world of hurt instead of a hero.
God Bless my nuts!! God had nothing to do with it.
@@walterhelm8186 it's protocol?
Very smart man. Kept his mouth shut after and didn’t play into any media narrative BS.
Some idiots are already trying to twist it around and make into another vigilante shooting...just like they did with Rittenhouse. I doubt this is the last headline we'll hear about this after the left mobilize their agenda driven media posse's. If I was this kid, I'd get out of town for a long time and lay low.
or macho BS. The marines that I knew as a Navy Corpsman, and my Air Force pararescue brother, who had the most kills/combat, did not like to talk about it. They were and are quietly proficient and steadfast, the kind of men and women you want with you when stuff goes down. Not loud and stupid braggarts. And a lot of them carry the emotional scars of ending lives, even though it was the right thing to do.
The young man is a great example of who should be carrying guns, it has to be someone brave, responsible, smart. Although a rare occurrence maybe next mass shooting someone will be inspired to take immediate action against the shooter.
Remember when that cop shot at a suspect but ended up killing the little girl in the dressing room. Yeah i remember.
@@drybizcuit1914 So what? Cops shouldn't have guns? Just the killers? Yes, cops accidentally shoot the wrong person from time to time. I can't think of a time when a civilian has done that though.
except the @a activists will say anyone should,
@@CarbonGlassMan let's be real, if we hired ex marines, they'd have better trigger discipline than most of these cops.
Thank God you can carry in Indiana. Prayers to the familys and that young hero.
God bless Mr. Dickens. He will need time to process what has happened. It has to be very difficult to take a life even though it was necessary. Please get help if you need it.
I just hope he resists becoming a poster child for the gun nuts
💯
@@CorePathway we are not gun nuts, we just believe, just like this young man, that we have the right and sadly it is becoming a necessity to carry for one's personal protection...and thank the good Lord this young man was there when he was needed.
I wonder if the mass shooter would’ve ever expected this outcome. Now he doesn’t have to worry about a job or apartment so he got more or less what he wanted
@@CorePathway But isn't any law abiding citizen using there rights to bear arms a gun nut?
This young man saved life’s bottom line. If he would have acted like those guys from Texas,,who knows how bad it would have been. Thank you young man for using your 2nd amendment right. You did your duty as an American citizen.
This guy is a hero, but at the end of the day he ended a life, and that must weigh on him. May God give him peace in his heart.
He will get over it.....trust me on this....
Doubtful. If it was me I'd feel (as Tony the tiger says) GGGRREAT!!
The little boy played humble hero to look good for the news channel. He should have focused on getting himself out, not interfering with natural selection.

Get that man a medal and a nice home to live in and good job. He earned it.
Sorry you only get free stuff if you break into the country.
better idea....make carry easy for any legal citizen that wants to!
thats the best reward
@@mrsimpleesarcastik3494 get out of democratically ran states and move to ones like Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio where you no longer need to pay for a license or take a class to conceal carry and potentially save your life, your family or friend's, or simply your fellow man.
@@mrsimpleesarcastik3494 No ... just a low IQ comment.
AMEN
This poor young man will have to deal with this for the rest of his life. I hope he gets all the support he will need.
He’s a hero for the rest of his life, hope he laughed when he smoked that loser
Probably feels pretty good that he put his training to use effectively and undoubtedly saved lives .....not much of a moral dilemma there .
This is why we train.
he will be fine, and many others will follow his lead
I'd feel absolutely awesome getting rid of a piece of shlt!!
Leave the hero alone!! Hopefully he will be able to speak about it one day. Thank you for your courage!!!
How about leave nature alone. Mass shootings help keep the population down. Do not interfere with natural selection it’s wrong.
Thank you young man! My condolences to the families of those who lost their lives 🙏🏿😢
Amen!
I’ll take that gentleman protecting my child rather than all of those tactical dorks out in Texas!
They didn’t want to put down their burritos.Cowards!!!
What a true hero !!
This has always been the answer. Competent and responsible individuals with pistols strapped to their hips. We need more of that. Not more scared unarmed soft targets out and about. An absolute tragedy any lives were lost. Imagine how many more could have lost their lives though. Well done hero.
You fools skipped the best part of Eli achieving his feat with a stock Glock, 10 shots, and he did it at 40 yards
It's actually *not a rare twist* there are more than than 30,000 defensive uses of handguns yearly but the news doesn't wanna report on those

Let's work together to allow more law abiding citizens to CCW's to protect themselves and other people from dangerous criminals and physcos.
to be fair, it's rare for people to carry in reality, and most mass shootings happen in places where law abiding gun owners can't carry a gun.
hella good job for that dude, a lot of families are surely happy he did what he had to do.
Yeah you got that right and are corrupt career politicians are trying to make it even harder for law abiding citizens to carry firearms they're trying to take away our Second Amendment right also they could take away every other right never let them take our guns and God bless this man because in every Democratic City throughout America they are trying to defund the police God bless you my fellow American
BS! Tons of people carry, EVERYWHERE!
Thankfully in Indiana they passed the constitutional carry law this month. You dont need a permit. That law literally just saved lives. If more states were like Indiana you would hear more of this
Just because you or anyone you know doesn't carry and you can't see who is carrying, doesn't mean people are rarely carrying.
@@oasisofspirit1991 Then why is it so rare?
"A rare outcome"
Because of burdensome carry restrictions that do nothing to stop criminals and leave good people defenseless

Wow, I haven't hit the like button on an NBC video in years. But you know what, THIS is the type of reporting we need. Glorify the heroes and the dead, not the attention-seeking losers shooting innocent people. Thanks and God bless
They're still trying to undermine it by stating "how rare these instances are" or how its a "24 out of 600 chance" for shootings to result in this way. It's pathetic and they're not fooling anyone. This is exactly what restoring our 2nd amendment rights across the entire country looks like!

This little boy is no hero. Grown men like myself understand that natural selection must occur. Humans like other animals breed out of control and overpopulate.

@@NackDSP 💯
@@NackDSP The shooter who brought his rifles into the mall wasn't bringing them in legally. It was legal to carry a concealed handgun in that mall, and it was legal to use that gun in a defensive situation. It's not legal to carry multiple guns around and shoot random people in a mall who pose no threat to you. There's a huge difference between these two "shooters." Concealed carry laws don't allow for multiple guns on one person, and people who are legally carrying are carrying handguns, not AR-15s.
usually news outlets won’t cover a story like this. good to see it for once

Got to give them credit when they do good, or else it will never change. Good job NBC.

Give rogue states nukes then. Great philosophy.
Nobody forces drugs into another...
Guns are a problem when the sick twisted people can so easily get them. Not just a gun in general, but higher powered weapons, like the rifles that mass shooters always use (including this one). Can you really not fathom that point at all?

The right young man with a gun.. not the crazy ones.. we’d probably stop 50 % of the mass shooting if we didn’t allow white males to own guns until 30th bday

Your comment is so moronic I don’t even know where to begin. Most states that have mass shootings have lax gun laws.
And I already know ur going to change subject and bring up “non-mass shootings but still has shootings” places like strict Chicago… meanwhile Chicago, Illinois neighboring state (Indiana) has lax gun laws. 60% of Chicago homicides retained their guns from out of state. Just had to get that out of the way since republicans who don’t know what they’re talkng about always try to bring up chicago
We have more guns than ever and we have a mass shooting every other week
@@pxxsa4043 most guns are owned by the same people. Meaning the people who own them have multiple. Not that more people own them. Denmark had a mass shooting not too long ago and guns are almost impossible to get there. In Germany someone committed a mass shooting using a homemade shotgun and machine gun. The previous Japanese prime Minister was assassinated using a homemade shotgun, and the shooter had made remote control shotguns out of rc cars, metal pipes, gunpowder from fireworks and metal balls. Some of the most crime ridden places in our country are also the ones with mass shootings. Those same places have basically outlawed guns or made them so hard to get almost no bystander would have one to stop mass shootings. And turns out Most mass shootings happen during democratic presidents terms, especially right before they decide to start trying to ban them, with most of them carrying weapons way past what even a normal American can afford (the buffalo NY shooter had a $500 plate carrier, $500 amor plates, a Daniel defense ar 15 which retails for $1500, several hundred rounds of ammo retailing at $700, a bolt action rifle with a scope worth another $1500, and he was a college student to top it off. How did he get the money? Or the guns when in NY you have to have been the victim of a violent crime and show proof of an extraordinary need for a firearm for defense to even be able to get a license to carry?) Most mass shootings are done with pistols. Most mass shooting are by people who stole guns from their families. Most gun deaths in this country are by suicide and gang violence with only 0.3% being "mass shootings" by the FBIs standards. You clearly have no idea wtf you are talking about. Educate yourself before you run your mouth
This is a prime example of a responsible concealed carry citizen protecting strangers when police would’ve been too late. Bravo young man, I salute 🫡 you.
It's a rarity too! Not long ago another man took out a shooter and the police ended up shooting him as he sought to secure the weapon the shooter had used.
Exactly and 99.99% of us are responsible and take the responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm seriously. I simply wanted to have the power to protect my family. If I had to protect the public that's also part of that responsibility. I have never met a CCW holder that wants to use their weapon. We just want to know we won't be helpless if the worst were to happen as it did here. This young man is a very accurate representation of the vast majority of gun owners and CCW holders.
@@siaripop7 talking about the summer camp building in Texas?
@@siaripop7 where can I find that article?
or when police are preparing to stop the shooter, which does take some time. As long as they do it as fast as possible.
A real hero!
If you want to be a hero in life, you don't want to bring death upon you.
the po po is never around
@@everaldarthurs6757 The police would have shot the guy 10 times in the back then one in the head. They treat every situation as if it's call of Duty out here and everyone needs 20 rounds in them.
@@johnwattdotca heros have to do what heros have to do. If the death of a lunatic killer is warranted to save lives, then so be it. This man does not want to be a hero, as shown by his lack of eating up the fame by going on camera. No, he was just doing what should have been done and what was right to do. Would you rather that he ran and let more people die senselessly?
@@johnwattdotca in a defensive shooting death is just a possibility, the main idea is to just stop the threat, unfortunately the mass shooter lost his life but I don't feel bad for him
Yeah the FBI who sets up these shootings sure didn't expect a Good Sam with a gun to be in that gun free zone..now is it time to carry? If 90% of citizens carry you wont see these "mass shootings" so good job Mr Good Sam
Agreed.... All except where the FBI sets up mass shootings. That's one of the most insane things I've ever heard, and I've known several psychopaths. You really think that if that were the case that we wouldn't have discovered it by now and it wouldn't make international news all over the world where every single person would have heard about it? I mean, everyone's heard about Donald Trump grabbing women by the crotch, but not this? Excuse me while I laugh at your reasoning. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it when the false flag backfires dramatically.
OK Ivan.
@@nickloven6728 yeah fuked themselves this time..now all you hear is GOOD GUY WITH GUN KILLS BAD GUY WITH GUN
SCREWS THEM UP BAD😄😄😄
Ah yes comrade i agree. Lets meet up in russia and have some drinks over our mutual love of trump and putin shall we?
The bad guy had a Sig M400 which is an AR15. The good guy had a pistol and was 40 yards from the bad guy. To those who say a good guy with a small gun can't take down a bad guy with a big gun I say you are wrong and this is the proof. God bless Elijah he is a true national hero. And may God look after those lost and their families.
I agree. And apparently he's a good shot. That's not easy to hit a target from that range while under stress.
@@blackhawk2302 Eight out of ten hits on a moving target from 40 yards with a 40 cal Glock and iron sights, that's *great* shooting.
@@hb9145 For sure. Definitely great shooting. Most people have seen too many movies. They don't understand how difficult that is.
@@blackhawk2302 True. Compare this to the North Hollywood shootout, where the police fired 650 rounds and only scored 39 hits. In "60 minutes" it was stated that the police officers only hit with about 50% of the shots fired at (almost) point blank against one of the suspects.
No this is not rare, many private citizens save others and their own lives in defensive shootings. Whats rare is the media acknowledged it.
Haha excellent point. They couldn’t ignore it. That’s why they tried hard to make the point that they are rare, by presenting misleading data
I think it’s more of the fact it’s a very specific statistic , meaning its saying stopping a MASS shooter with a gun has only happened 24 times . Mass shootings are where there’s 3 or 4 victims, so many more could’ve been stopped at 1 or 2 and therefore did not qualify for this statistic .
So true
There was all kinds of reporting gymnastics in that piece. Most mass shootings are gang/drug related, however they only counted people who stopped active shootings, which are much more rare than " mass shootings". And they are not counting people who prevented a mass shooting, only counting people who stopped an active shooting after they reached the mass shooting criteria. Just a few weeks ago a woman in West Virginia prevented a mass shooting, I never heard that on mainstream news.
"Mass shootings" dear, that's what's rare,
What stops a bad guy with a gun?
What stops a bad guy from getting a gun?
That's why I have conceal carry my guns to gun free zone or shopping at Costco. I rather judged by 12 than carry by 6.
“Ending in a rare twist” HA! What. The only thing that is rare is when the main stream media covers this kind of thing.
Prove it.
@@user-wm5ul2gl4w you will never be a woman
Thank you for this reporting. Very appreciated.
Thank you for saving a lot of other people and for having the guts to stick your neck out. I have a number of other things to thank you for but "you get it". I hope you do well in life.
Good bless the second amendment… A good way to fight against criminals.
So we the people need our guns .
Case closed
Stop showing the shooters picture and name
This happens more than people think. Quite often, a potential “victim” is approached by a bad guy, and the act of displaying the weapon ends the encounter.( I’ve been there). Had armed civilians been around some of these other events it’s fair to say that not all of them would’ve ended in tragedy.
"To put it differently, while 36% of active shooting attacks have occurred in places where guns are allowed, almost half (42.3%) of those were stopped by people legally carry concealed handguns."
-Lott, John R., Corrections to the FBI’s Reports on Active Shooting Incidents (May 31, 2021).
the best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
What if a whole bunch of those good guys with guns stand around to do nothing?
What if neither of the guys in this video had a gun? Then what?
Texas has 5 of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in american history, and everyone is packing here.
@@rogerwilco5918 If you're referring to uvalde those arent "good guys with guns" aka armed civilians, those are government law enforcement. If you successfully banned guns those cops would be the ones we'd have to rely on for protection.
"What if neither guy had a gun" guess what? the criminals gonna have a gun. No Democrat policy proposal would've stopped any of the shootings in recent memory. The Democrats don't want to stop shootings, they want to use shootings to promote gun control, while letting violent criminals out of jail and gun smuggling through the southern border.
@@rogerwilco5918 go smoke another joint...troll

This is Exactly what needed to be heard and not swept under the rug.Thank you sir for doing what was necessary and right
God bless you man!! Let’s put the bs politics aside, you did what you had to do and protected many lives❤️ Thankyou for your bravery and hopefully more responsible mature people react the way you did
More law abiding people who respect life should start to carry. I said in the last video I got my conceal carry last week. I hope I never have to use it. I'm sure this guy is hurting from taking a life. However I know I'm tired of all this evil spreading, and I want to do something if I can.
Consider getting some training most say it helps a lot. Take care!
@@SpiritusBythos At least in my state in order to obtain my concealed carry permit I had to do a considerable amount of training. Everything from basic firearm safety to CPR.
I also hope you and i never do but that's why I carry.
I’m sure he feels better though knowing he saved many more from dying.
Fantastic idea. It's insane how little people do that especially with the current climate. I'll do it as soon as I can.
Do you mean he had a gun- oh my! He was able to protect himself and others-and they want to take our guns …He was legally armed at the right time!
I'm surprised they're even reporting a good guy with a gun.
If it were more common, it would be less noteworthy.
@@obediahpolkinghorniii564 It would be more common if it wasn't so difficult to get a concealed weapon permit in most states. The good guys are trying to follow the laws, so they're not going to carry if they aren't supposed to be carrying. It would also be more common if the good guys weren't afraid of facing legal repercussions for using their gun in a genuine self defense or emergency situation. Look what happened to Jose Alba in NY, and that wasn't even a gun. Legitimate self defense and the DA wanted to charge him with second degree murder, and with criminal possession of a weapon (the weapon was a kitchen knife, so how is that even criminal possession of a weapon?) The good guys don't want their lives ruined.
@@MichelleMyBelle “The good guys are trying to follow the laws.” - Philando Castille, Kyle Rittenhouse, and the guy who shot up the Buffalo supermarket obtained their firearms legally. I’m not seeing a pattern. Approximately 80% of firearms used in mass shootings were obtained legally. I *am* seeing a pattern.
@@obediahpolkinghorniii564 In the vast majority of those cases you are talking about, the guys who obtained their guns legally had juvenile records that did not come up in background checks (this needs to change), or they had a history of violence that was not properly reported, and therefore also did not come up in background checks. I am not talking about guys like this who slipped through the cracks due to failures in our system (that need to be fixed). When I say "good guys," this means GOOD people who have good intentions, and who are not attempting to obtain a weapon in order to commit a crime. Most people are not murderers.
@@MichelleMyBelle Ohh. So, we need laws that let good guys get guns but stop bad guys from getting guns. Right? Is that what you’re telling me?
I expect everyone carrying to do this if it happens. Most mass shooters aren’t looking out for bystanders with guns too, praise to him!!
Thank you reporting what real gun owners do, this is the reason for the 2nd amendment. Where’s the people who say “why do you need a gun to protect you”
Ah yes, completely ignore the people who died for nothing.
You men the chive shooter isn’t a “real gun owner”?
a hand gun maybe but AR15s, BS
Yup...all 24 of them. If only this happened more then you would have a point.
@@_DarkKnight2301_ taking guns away from law abiding citizens wouldn’t help genius look at Chicago and New York . And oh yeah just ban guns so the cartel can smuggle them in thru our open border and sell em to criminals… gotta love democrats smh
Truly a hero
