Or you could start your own thread on PARF - if that makes you feel more comfortable.
But to your comment about gun-worshipers.....my take on the story (and thread) is that thanks to our current gun laws and the country's long-standing history of the concept of self-protection - the bad guy was taken out and a good guy was not.
A second aspect of the story is the amazing marksmanship of this citizen.
Oh yeah...and here's a big one.....one could also discuss why it is (as Vinny mentions in his opening post) this story is not front page news as a followup to the Aurora shooting. Yes I know the body count isn't the same (so it's not as 'sexy" for the media) but it does have a connection to that tragedy in that in one situation the bad guy was not erased and in this one he was....thanks in part to the current gun laws. Interesting discussion but again - not very sexy.
Hope to hear from you with your take on my comments and/or other perspective.
