We are officially at zero days without a mass shooting in America again as a gunman ran through the streets of Colorado Springs with an assault rifle, leading police on a multiple crime scene chase and leaving three dead. After a shootout with police, the gunman was killed as well.
Little information, including motive, is available about the shooting at this time, other than the gunman may have been shooting people at random.
What we do know is that this didn’t take place in a gun-free zone or in an inner-city black community, which is where conservatives seem to think all gun violence happens. This happened on the streets of Colorado Springs, ranked fourth most conservative city in America. Where were the “good guys” with guns? One eyewitness has emerged that said he witnessed the chase from his window. He ran outside to yell at the gunman and ended up flat on the ground as bullets flew over his head when the gunman turned and fired at police.
Through several blocks, across streets and through neighborhoods culminating in a shootout at Wendy’s where the gunman died, not a single person made good on the reason most conservatives will tell you they need a gun. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you, because chances are the idiot thinking they were going to intervene would be dead or could have shot an innocent bystander, but it kind of interesting that when the sh*t hit the fan, not a single hero popped up, and it was yet again the people who are supposed to have guns that ended the conflict.
