A murderer stabbed a Muslim woman named Dr. Talat Khan to death, witnesses report that 17 Texans pulled out their firearms. 17! The murderer stabbed her, stopped to check her pulse, confirmed she was alive, & went back to stabbing her to death.

And 17 "good guys with guns" did nothing.

A reminder that the "good guy with a gun" myth is a propaganda point to sell more guns. It does nothing beyond an anecdote to save lives.

Senate Voted to Let Vets With Mental Issues Keep #Guns Hours Before #Maine Shooting

"Five senators who caucus with Democrats β€” three #Democrats and two Independents, all up for reelection in 2024 β€” voted with #Republicans to adopt the amendment. 'It is not right that a D.C. bureaucrat at VA could take away a veterans’ legal right to their firearms simply because they needed assistance managing their finances,' said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mt.)."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) stopped 3,251 firearms β€” more than 92% of them loaded β€” at U.S. airport security checkpoints in the first half of 2023, putting the country on track for another record-breaking year for gun interceptions.

How dumb do you have to be to try to take a loaded gun onto an airplane??

At least they confiscate them and there is a hefty fine. Get more guns out of people’s hands.
