    It's the same as a long rifle gun but different.

    failures in law enforcement response"

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/18/us/5-key-takeaways-uvalde-report-and-video/index.html

    "NBC 7 Investigates: San Diego Police Face Scrutiny Over Woman's Murder"

    "Yet three of Connie’s neighbors who spoke with NBC 7 Investigates feel police deserve some of the blame.

    “Had they just done their job, she would still be alive,” said Michelle.

    “It’s incredibly upsetting,” said Mike. “It’s really unbelievable. Very,
    very scary.”

    “I just feel such a strange combination of anxiety and anger and
    sadness,” said Sally. “It could have been prevented.”

    In order to protect their identities, NBC 7 Investigates is using
    fictitious names for the neighbors.

    Officers found Connie’s lifeless body inside her condo Wednesday
    morning, June 15. But neighbor interviews, dispatch records, 911 call timestamps and surveillance video all gathered by NBC 7 Investigates
    show the calls for help started nearly 12 hours earlier.

    Around 7 p.m. the night before two neighbors called 911 reporting a man
    banging on Connie’s door and screaming. Over the next hour, at least
    five more calls rolled into 911, but no officers were dispatched. Then,
    just after 8 p.m., neighbors heard and saw something that prompted
    dispatchers to speed up the police response.

    “He somehow managed to climb onto her balcony and break through her
    glass door. So he broke in,” said Sally.

    “I told them [police] that there is an active burglary happening to my neighbor’s house,” said Michelle. “I’m looking at him through the window. He entered through the second-story sliding glass door, he
    busted the door.”

    Sally told NBC 7 Investigates she was still on the line with the
    dispatcher when she heard a physical fight.

    “I’ve never heard somebody that angry in my entire life,” said Sally. “He was running so hard that I genuinely thought he might break through
    the ceiling. I remember saying verbatim, ‘He’s going to kill her.’”

    At that point, dispatch records show the call was upgraded to a higher priority, and officers started staging at a parking lot nearby. About 45 minutes later, they arrived at Connie’s condo and knocked on the door.

    A neighbor's security camera captured police responding to the condo
    nearly two hours after their first calls to 911.

    “They finally show up,” said Michelle. “They’re walking up and I’m noticing them looking around and I come out of my door and I point to
    the unit and I say he’s in there, and they just nodded their heads. So
    they flashed their light, they could totally see the broken glass.”

    Police say officers tried calling Connie’s phone and looked for her car.
    But since Connie didn’t answer the door, officers ultimately left.

    “At this point, I'm like what is going on?” said Michelle. “Where are they going? What’s happening? You have no idea what he’s going to do. He can easily break into someone else’s home. Especially on the first floor
    if he got into the second floor. And I was thinking why is it not an
    emergency? Why are they just walking away?”

    The next morning, just before 8:30 a.m., police say Chambers came
    outside and told a neighbor to call 911 because Connie was dead.
    Surveillance video obtained by NBC 7 Investigates shows officers
    arresting Chambers minutes later.

    NBC 7 Investigates has learned this is not the first time police have
    been called to Connie’s home. In fact, Chambers was not even supposed to
    be near Connie. A judge ordered Chambers to stay away from Connie as one
    of his probationary terms for a vandalism conviction in 2020."

    In order to protect their identities, NBC 7 Investigates is using

    Officers found Connie’s lifeless body inside her condo Wednesday
    morning, June 15. But neighbor interviews, dispatch records, 911 call
    timestamps and surveillance video all gathered by NBC 7 Investigates
    show the calls for help started nearly 12 hours earlier.

    Around 7 p.m. the night before two neighbors called 911 reporting a
    man banging on Connie’s door and screaming. Over the next hour, at
    least five more calls rolled into 911, but no officers were
    dispatched. Then, just after 8 p.m., neighbors heard and saw something
    that prompted dispatchers to speed up the police response.

    “He somehow managed to climb onto her balcony and break through her
    glass door. So he broke in,” said Sally.

    “I told them [police] that there is an active burglary happening to
    my neighbor’s house,” said Michelle. “I’m looking at him
    through the window. He entered through the second-story sliding glass
    door, he busted the door.”

    Sally told NBC 7 Investigates she was still on the line with the
    dispatcher when she heard a physical fight.

    “I’ve never heard somebody that angry in my entire life,” said
    Sally. “He was running so hard that I genuinely thought he might
    break through the ceiling. I remember saying verbatim, ‘He’s going
    to kill her.’”

    At that point, dispatch records show the call was upgraded to a higher
    priority, and officers started staging at a parking lot nearby. About
    45 minutes later, they arrived at Connie’s condo and knocked on the >> door.

    A neighbor's security camera captured police responding to the condo
    nearly two hours after their first calls to 911.

    “They finally show up,” said Michelle. “They’re walking up and
    I’m noticing them looking around and I come out of my door and I
    point to the unit and I say he’s in there, and they just nodded
    their heads. So they flashed their light, they could totally see the
    broken glass.”

    Police say officers tried calling Connie’s phone and looked for her >> car. But since Connie didn’t answer the door, officers ultimately left.

    “At this point, I'm like what is going on?” said Michelle.
    “Where are they going? What’s happening? You have no idea what >> he’s going to do. He can easily break into someone else’s home.
    Especially on the first floor if he got into the second floor. And I
    was thinking why is it not an emergency? Why are they just walking
    away?”

    The next morning, just before 8:30 a.m., police say Chambers came
    outside and told a neighbor to call 911 because Connie was dead.

    of the time, although typically without using a gun.

    From 2000 to 2021, ALERRT researchers studied 464 attacks (434
    shootings, 23 knife attacks and seven vehicle attacks) and found
    civilians — including security guards and off-duty police officers — stopped attackers before police arrived on 73 occasions. In the vast
    majority of those cases (67%), bystanders subdued the assailant using
    physical force.

    An armed civilian stopped attacks by shooting the suspect in 24 of the
    464 attacks recorded, about 5% of all events."

    Uvalde, Buffalo Shootings Expose the Myth of the ‘Good Guy With a Gun’
    The NRA has a romantic notion that a ‘good guy with a gun’ could stem
    mass shootings. In reality, it hasn’t worked out like that.

    By Susan Milligan

    From white-hatted cowboys in movie Westerns to cigarette-smoking, trench-coated fictional private detectives, the gun-packing hero has
    been celebrated in American popular culture as the ultimate weapon in a
    central battle between good and evil. In real life, the idea has been
    promoted as an answer to mass shootings: In 2012, after 20 children and
    six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre voiced his
    solution.

    "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a
    gun," LaPierre said at the time. After the Uvalde, Texas, massacre in
    which a gunman killed 19 elementary schoolers and two teachers, calls
    came from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other Republicans to arm teachers – an idea vehemently rejected by teachers unions – and add more gun-carrying security at schools.

    "We know from past experience that the most effective tool for keeping
    kids safe is armed law enforcement on the campus," Republican Ted Cruz,
    Texas' junior senator, told reporters. Paxton, in an interview on
    Newsmax, said that since “first responders typically can't get there in
    time to prevent a shooting … I think you're going to have to do more at
    the school, because it typically involves very short periods of time,
    and you have to have people trained on campus to react."

    For those lawmakers, it's more guns that are needed in America, where
    the number of firearms now surpasses the number of people living in the
    United States. Just hand them to the right people – the "good" people –
    and bad shooters will be stopped in their tracks, they argue.

    That didn't work in Texas, where armed law enforcement personnel at the
    scene after the shooter first shot at his grandmother were unable to
    prevent the bloodbath. The school also has a school resource officer,
    though authorities said Thursday the officer was not on site at that
    time (after saying previously that the officer was). Texas authorities
    this week were fielding accusations that people trained to respond to
    such incidents didn't move quickly enough, possibly costing lives.

    It didn't work May 16 in Buffalo, where an armed, off-duty security
    guard and former police officer was unable to stop a shooter on an
    apparent racist rampage. The security guard, along with nine Black
    supermarket shoppers, was killed.

    It's also not a common outcome in previous active shooter episodes,
    according to the FBI. From 2000-2019, 119 of 345 active shooters
    committed suicide, the bureau said in a long-trend report. Another 119
    were apprehended by police, 67 were killed by police, and five are at
    large. In only four cases did citizens kill the shooters – and none of
    those four happened at an educational setting.

    civilians — including security guards and off-duty police officers — stopped attackers before police arrived on 73 occasions. In the vast majority of those cases (67%), bystanders subdued the assailant
    using physical force.

    An armed civilian stopped attacks by shooting the suspect in 24 of the
    464 attacks recorded, about 5% of all events."

    Uvalde, Buffalo Shootings Expose the Myth of the ‘Good Guy With a Gun’
    The NRA has a romantic notion that a ‘good guy with a gun’ could
    stem mass shootings. In reality, it hasn’t worked out like that.

    By Susan Milligan

    From white-hatted cowboys in movie Westerns to cigarette-smoking, trench-coated fictional private detectives, the gun-packing hero has
    been celebrated in American popular culture as the ultimate weapon in
    a central battle between good and evil. In real life, the idea has
    been promoted as an answer to mass shootings: In 2012, after 20
    children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary
    School in Newtown, Connecticut, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre voiced his solution.

    "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a
    gun," LaPierre said at the time. After the Uvalde, Texas, massacre in
    which a gunman killed 19 elementary schoolers and two teachers, calls
    came from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other Republicans to
    arm teachers – an idea vehemently rejected by teachers unions –
    and add more gun-carrying security at schools.

    "We know from past experience that the most effective tool for keeping
    kids safe is armed law enforcement on the campus," Republican Ted
    Cruz, Texas' junior senator, told reporters. Paxton, in an interview
    on Newsmax, said that since “first responders typically can't get there in time to prevent a shooting … I think you're going to have
    to do more at the school, because it typically involves very short
    periods of time, and you have to have people trained on campus to react."

    For those lawmakers, it's more guns that are needed in America, where
    the number of firearms now surpasses the number of people living in
    the United States. Just hand them to the right people – the "good" people – and bad shooters will be stopped in their tracks, they argue.

    That didn't work in Texas, where armed law enforcement personnel at
    the scene after the shooter first shot at his grandmother were unable
    to prevent the bloodbath. The school also has a school resource
    officer, though authorities said Thursday the officer was not on site
    at that time (after saying previously that the officer was). Texas authorities this week were fielding accusations that people trained to respond to such incidents didn't move quickly enough, possibly costing
    lives.

    It didn't work May 16 in Buffalo, where an armed, off-duty security
    guard and former police officer was unable to stop a shooter on an
    apparent racist rampage. The security guard, along with nine Black supermarket shoppers, was killed.

    It's also not a common outcome in previous active shooter episodes, according to the FBI. From 2000-2019, 119 of 345 active shooters
    committed suicide, the bureau said in a long-trend report. Another 119
    were apprehended by police, 67 were killed by police, and five are at
    large. In only four cases did citizens kill the shooters – and none of those four happened at an educational setting.

    That didn't work in Texas, where armed law enforcement personnel at

    Note that the official good guy with a gun who was supposed to be at
    the school was Not present at Uvalde, and when the official "good"
    guys with guns - pistols, rifles, and shotguns - did show up, they
    didn't have the balls to use them, and then spent weeks trying to
    cover their sorry asses.

    OTOH, the Unofficial good guy at Greenwood Park Mall did not hesitate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This young man, Greenwood's good Samaritan, acted within seconds,
    stopping the shooter and saving countless lives," Myers said. "Our
    city, our community and our state is grateful for his heroism in this situation." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    That also points out the dumbassedness of the policy of banning guns
    in venues where there is no metal detector or body search at every
    entrance - which is the case at Greenwood.

    Not only that, but the good guy with a pistol went up against the bad
    guy who had a "weapon of war".

    So:
    In your own words, what is your point?

    Are you for or against civilians carrying guns?

    What do you personally think about, "If it saves just one innocent life..........", for both gun banning and gun carrying?
