Gun laws don’t keep guns out of criminals and “deranged nut jobs” hands. What we have is a mental health issue not a gun issue. More people are killed with knives than the big scary AR platform guns. Are we going to make stricter knife laws? Ban all knives? Yeah I know how stupid that sounds. Do your homework and know the statistics of deaths by guns and you will understand we don’t have a gun problem.

Well said. The media hates reporting the stories of these crimes being stopped by citizens. In this case it was actually on news and it also was nice to see the law enforcement officials stand up and say this guy did a great job and likely saved many other lives. The mental health issue is the problem not the guns.
