Gunnut Claim ruled FALSE by politifact

4. Yes, these yahoos walking around thinking their Rambo are bullshitting themselves to infinity

The off duty officer would have been trained to react under pressure, the weekend warrior & target shooter not so much. I saw an episode of "I Survived" where a shooter comes into a small town restaurant. Everyone ducks for cover and guy is going around shooting people. A friend of the narrator has a gun and decides he's going to "take out" the shooter. He gets up shooting and completely misses, and the shooter with his larger weapons, turns, shoots and kills the guy. So much for a good guy with a gun.

And while there may be a few stories of someone protecting themselves from a home intruder, there are so many more of the gun being used to kill someone in drunken stupidity or accidental discharge. If there were so many good guy with a gun stories, we'd surely hear about them from the NRA. They're only interested in selling guns, period. Fuck them.
