Both sides need to look at that argument. I've seen the dissonance in that meme a lot, but I also don't find the underlying logic compelling.

Safer, not safe. Perfect is the enemy of the good.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/crime/ ... police-sayWhen police arrived at the scene, Roberson was holding "somebody on the ground with his knee in his back, with his gun in his back," witness Adam Harris said.
"Everybody is screaming out, 'He's a security guard,'" Harris said. "Just waiting on the police to get there. I guess when the police got there, they probably thought he was one of the bad guys, cause he had his gun on the guy and they shot him."
Roberson was licensed to carry a firearm, Ansari said.
Charges were pending Monday against the man who investigators believe fired the initial shots during a dispute. His name has yet to be released, and he remained hospitalized Monday, Anasari said.
Investigators said the initial gunfire was reported around 4 a.m. An officer responding from nearby Midlothian encountered and shot "a subject with a gun," Midlothian Police Chief Daniel Delaney said in a statement. The person was later identified as Roberson.
No details have been released about the officer. Roberson, who was black, was the only person killed in the shooting. The other four people who were shot suffered wounds that weren't considered life-threatening, Anasari said.
Kinda exposes the good guy with a gun fallacy.

Re: Mass Shooting Thread -
well, except for the good guy with a gun that subdued the bad guy with a gun. that's seriously your take away from that story? the problem here lies with the police officer that shot the good guy with a gun, not with whatever fallacy you think has been exposedMontegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 2:50 pmhttp://www.fox32chicago.com/news/crime/ ... police-sayWhen police arrived at the scene, Roberson was holding "somebody on the ground with his knee in his back, with his gun in his back," witness Adam Harris said.

the logical conclusion of your fallacy results in police being the only good guys with guns. and we can clearly see in this story how fallacied your fallacy is, because the police officer shot the guy anyway

Re: Mass Shooting Thread -
It is a fallacious line of intellectual inference to acclamate only specific anecdotes from the narrative only to posit that certain implications of the ocular spectators were ex post facto emotions or speculatory guesses. This sort of specious reasoning is quite a quandry for the soon to be ecclesiastical if this was indeed a church shooting or perhaps even Brandeis should statistical data be in a plentitude or women's rights if the shooter was chromosomally motivated.
