    Armed Guard Disarms Shooter At Atlanta Middle School:

    When news broke that a 14-year old student had been shot at an Atlanta middle school on the morning of Jan. 31, reports did not mention that the shooter had been disarmed by an armed guard at the school. But Atlanta Police Chief George Turner is now saying the shooter was in fact disarmed by an armed guard working at the school.

    In other words, today’s shooting proves the point the NRA has been emphasizing since Sandy Hook Elementary–”The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

    What is now known is that the shooter was another student, who is in custody, and the victim was a male student who was shot in the neck. The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, and the victim was alert and conscious when medical personnel arrived on the scene.

    Some people disagree with the premise that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.
    If that is so, then why is it that when these things occur, that the first thing we do is call the good guys with guns?
    Having good guys with guns already on the scene will help mitigate the damage and hasten the response time.

    Did the good guy need his good guy gun, or did he disarm the bad guy without it?

    Are you implying that he would have done the same if he was unarmed?

    You would think this to be common sense.

    Perhaps...
    However, one would also think the same brand of gun control that has worked in several countries would at least be considered before feeling any kind of need for armed guards also makes sense...
