Yeah hats off to the guys that shot and pursued him.PJPOWER said:
At the very least they stopped him from escaping, no one can know if this was his end game, but he was trying to escape. The only reasons I can think of why he would try and escape would be to either get away with what he had just done or to continue what he was doing. From what I have read, he was still shooting at people (outside of the church) when he was shot. At that moment, he got to experience the pain that he had been inflicting on others. I’m glad there was a good guy with a gun there to give him a taste of his own medicine. His control of the situation (whatever his plan was) was ended by a local armed citizen.Gern Blansten said:
That's fine....I stand corrected. I had just heard that he grabbed his "rifle" from a safe which I assumed was just non assault weapon.PJPOWER said:

You can't even get the terminology correct.
Besides I have been hearing non-stop for a year how "literally Hitler" was elected President, and now those people want "literally Hitler" to be the one in control of all firearms.
Why do you want to give "literally Hitler" oh and the white supremacist and racist and apparently woman abusing and Russian colluder so much control?
If not, I will take you out to a range and introduce you to one. I can then go over terminology and show you how it operates, including breaking it down and re-assembling it.
Again, do you have any other suggestions. A civilian has no need to own an AR or other types of semi-auto assault rifles. Fear is the only reason no one is willing to give up these types of guns. Don't worry, we'll all die of lack of water and tillable land before the government comes for your guns. You will probably need your gun to protect your bunker of supplies from the raving masses of starving and thirsty.

But the important thing to remember is that (while I completely support and commend this guy...for keeping his gun in a safe and for using it) this "good guy with a gun" did not stop the massacre. We could argue that the shooter may have planned to go somewhere else and continue killing but I doubt that is the case. It appears that his goal was to kill his mother in law and luckily for her she wasn't at the church.
The shooter was leaving the scene when he was shot.
Maybe he would have gone to hunt down the mother in law. We'll never know. Maybe the police would have shown up and taken him out.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

            So what I am reading says that only licensed dealers are required to check the federal database. So, even though the federal database should have prevented him from buying, it is likely that he would have sought out other legal means to make his purchase.
We need tougher federal laws. Background checks for all purchases. The states obviously can't handle this.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I wonder what will happen to that guy. He essentially murdered someone (or at least attempted murder). It wasn't self-defense, it wasn't stand your ground. He chased someone down who was fleeing and shot them. I anticipate at least a wrongful death lawsuit, this has the potential to ruin his life.Gern Blansten said:

Take Nevada, for instance.Gern Blansten said:So what I am reading says that only licensed dealers are required to check the federal database.

We need tougher federal laws. Background checks for all purchases. The states obviously can't handle this.
You do not need a permit to buy a gun
There is no requirement for a background check
There is no limit on the number of guns an individual can buy at a time
There is no limit on high capacity magazines or assault-type weapons
Law enforcement are required to issue a concealed carry permit to anyone who meets basic minimum requirements, despite any concerns
And Nevada is not the worst of the states regarding gun laws.
Yes, the states can't handle this responsibility

I thought he shot the guy while he still had the gun in his hand and while still shooting? Then they chased him down. I do not think this guy will face any legal trouble in Texas regarding acceptable use of lethal force laws. Might be different if he had been in New York. I think this guy will most likely get an award for his actions.CM189191 said:

True its tougher to prove self-defense when the guy is fleeing, but it can still be the case. You just have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were in fear for yourself or others of serious injury or harm. I think anyone with 3 active brain cells could tell someone who just killed 26 people and injured how many more is likely going to keep killing, and unless he was actively surrendering then shooting him was 100% justified. Absolutely not murder or even attempted murder. Plenty of reason to justifiably believe he was going to continue to kill and harm others.0 - 
            
Exactly, and to suggest otherwise is ludicrous.mace1229 said:

I think anyone with 3 active brain cells could tell someone who just killed 26 people and injured how many more is likely going to keep killing, and unless he was actively surrendering then shooting him was 100% justified. Absolutely not murder or even attempted murder. Plenty of reason to justifiably believe he was going to continue to kill and harm others.0 - 
            
Not while he was still shooting from what I've read, but in any case, the idea that anyone would consider his actions unjustified must not know how it works. The city or state is not relevant. Obviously it is completely legal in all cases to kill an active mass shooter, which does not require that bullets are currently coming out the end of his weapon when it happens, lol. The only way any issue might arise is if the person happened to do it with an illegal weapon, in which case, the charges would be related to carrying/owning an illegal weapon, that's it.PJPOWER said:
I thought he shot the guy while he still had the gun in his hand and while still shooting? Then they chased him down. I do not think this guy will face any legal trouble in Texas regarding acceptable use of lethal force laws. Might be different if he had been in New York. I think this guy will most likely get an award for his actions.CM189191 said:
I wonder what will happen to that guy. He essentially murdered someone (or at least attempted murder). It wasn't self-defense, it wasn't stand your ground.

At the very least they stopped him from escaping, no one can know if this was his end game, but he was trying to escape.

From what I have read, he was still shooting at people (outside of the church) when he was shot. At that moment, he got to experience the pain that he had been inflicting on others.

But the important thing to remember is that (while I completely support and commend this guy...for keeping his gun in a safe and for using it) this "good guy with a gun" did not stop the massacre. We could argue that the shooter may have planned to go somewhere else and continue killing but I doubt that is the case. It appears that his goal was to kill his mother in law and luckily for her she wasn't at the church.
The shooter was leaving the scene when he was shot.
Maybe he would have gone to hunt down the mother in law. We'll never know. Maybe the police would have shown up and taken him out.

The state is relevant. Some states implement a “duty to retreat” type of standard in regards to use of force. Texas does not. I stated that part in regards to the crime still being in progress, not silly at all. If he was surrendering with his hands up, and then got shot, it would be a completely different scenario and the person that shot him would then face legal trouble.PJ_Soul said:

Lets suppose you're right, he was going to turn himself in.
So what? One, you want to talk about speculation? I'm assuming a mass murder wants to kill and you assume a mass murderer is trying to turn himself in? Okay, but lets not speculate anything. Either way, that doesn't change anything. Anyone would still have reason to believe others are in harm. You only have to argue that a reasonable person could justifiably believe others are in harm. You want to argue otherwise then you are probably alone. Any sane person would have very good reason to believe others are in immediate danger. 100% justified.Post edited by mace1229 on0 - 
            There are absolutely no grounds for a criminal charge against the guy who shot the mass murderer. As for the civil side, that's always a circus show. We'll see if any grieving relatives come forward to try and sue for wrongful death. They'd be in for the fight of their life.It's a hopeless situation...0

Thankfully it isn't the Bill of Needs. Thankfully I don't need someone telling me what I do or don't.
You asked me what my terminology was, that lead me to believe your experience was not vast. My terminology is what it actually is, not what the media says it is.

But the important thing to remember is that (while I completely support and commend this guy...for keeping his gun in a safe and for using it) this "good guy with a gun" did not stop the massacre. We could argue that the shooter may have planned to go somewhere else and continue killing but I doubt that is the case. It appears that his goal was to kill his mother in law and luckily for her she wasn't at the church.
The shooter was leaving the scene when he was shot.
Maybe he would have gone to hunt down the mother in law. We'll never know. Maybe the police would have shown up and taken him out.
True its tougher to prove self-defense when the guy is fleeing, but it can still be the case. You just have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were in fear for yourself or others of serious injury or harm. I think anyone with 3 active brain cells could tell someone who just killed 26 people and injured how many more is likely going to keep killing, and unless he was actively surrendering then shooting him was 100% justified. Absolutely not murder or even attempted murder. Plenty of reason to justifiably believe he was going to continue to kill and harm others.
That's pure speculation. For all we know he was driving to the police station to turn himself in.
past performance does not guarantee future results
Lets suppose you're right, he was going to turn himself in.
So what? One, you want to talk about speculation? I'm assuming a mass murder wants to kill and you assume a mass murderer is trying to turn himself in? Okay, but lets not speculate anything. Either way, that doesn't change anything. Anyone would still have reason to believe others are in harm. You only have to argue that a reasonable person could justifiably believe others are in harm. You want to argue otherwise then you are probably alone. Any sane person would have very good reason to believe others are in immediate danger. 100% justified.0 -

I wonder what will happen to that guy. He essentially murdered someone (or at least attempted murder). It wasn't self-defense, it wasn't stand your ground.

At the very least they stopped him from escaping, no one can know if this was his end game, but he was trying to escape. The only reasons I can think of why he would try and escape would be to either get away with what he had just done or to continue what he was doing. From what I have read, he was still shooting at people (outside of the church) when he was shot. At that moment, he got to experience the pain that he had been inflicting on others. I’m glad there was a good guy with a gun there to give him a taste of his own medicine. His control of the situation (whatever his plan was) was ended by a local armed citizen.Gern Blansten said:
That's fine....I stand corrected. I had just heard that he grabbed his "rifle" from a safe which I assumed was just non assault weapon.PJPOWER said:

You can't even get the terminology correct.
Besides I have been hearing non-stop for a year how "literally Hitler" was elected President, and now those people want "literally Hitler" to be the one in control of all firearms.
Why do you want to give "literally Hitler" oh and the white supremacist and racist and apparently woman abusing and Russian colluder so much control?
If not, I will take you out to a range and introduce you to one. I can then go over terminology and show you how it operates, including breaking it down and re-assembling it.
Again, do you have any other suggestions. A civilian has no need to own an AR or other types of semi-auto assault rifles. Fear is the only reason no one is willing to give up these types of guns. Don't worry, we'll all die of lack of water and tillable land before the government comes for your guns. You will probably need your gun to protect your bunker of supplies from the raving masses of starving and thirsty.

to be fair, he wasn't speculating. he was countering the claim with another, just as reasonable claim, proving his stance that we didn't know and can't speculate.mace1229 said:

however, I do agree that the shooting of the murderer was justified. a guy kills 26 people: justified.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0
