Liberals love to claim it’s a myth that armed citizens ever stop mass public shootings – and they’re technically right. If an armed citizen stops a shooter right as he begins opening fire and before anyone dies, there technically wasn’t a mass shooting that was stopped – because the armed citizen prevented it from occurring in the first place.
Such was the case in Maryland today, when a Great Mills High School student opened fire, injuring two students, before being the only fatality when an armed school resource officer shot the student.
As reported by the Daily Caller, “according to St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron, the school resource officer (SRO) fired a round at the shooter, who fired a round in return. The shooter is now dead, Cameron confirmed Tuesday morning, and an investigation will determine whether the SRO’s bullet struck the shooter.”
“The incident is now over, though the shooter managed to injure two students. One of them is in critical condition in the hospital, Cameron said. The SRO was not injured during the incident.”

The contrast in how this shooting was handled, and the recent Valentine’s Day shooting at Stoneman Douglass High School, couldn’t be any starker. Multiple armed officers waited by idly while the massacre at Stoneman Douglass unfolded.
There were 17 deaths and 14 injuries at Stoneman Douglass, but only two injuries when the SROs did their job.
The shooter, who has still not been identified, had been pronounced dead, according to Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron. The Sheriff also said that there was “no question” the situation would have been worse if the school resource officer had not engaged the shooter. No kidding.
Don’t expect to hear that narrative in the mainstream media though. The shooter came packing a handgun instead of an AR-15 and was stopped by an armed guard, so there’s nothing for the Left to politicize here.
Share this story if you’re glad the school had an armed guard on staff!
Guns will always be available to the outlaws. We all know that. They don’t mind breaking the laws a bit. When we have armed guards at the school or qualified teachers, we avoid horrendous attacks Right now, we have TWO injured per article compared to what easily could have been had we not had someone who is a law abiding citizen with a gun able to respond! Gun laws do nothing but give the guns to the criminals and leave the innocent people defenseless! This guard is now a HERO of mine!

Yes, gun laws don’t prevent people from using guns against innocent persons.
The presence of an armed guard didn’t prevent someone from bringing a loaded gun into school and shooting two people, before the guard was able to act.
Who provided the gun to the shooter? How did they get a gun? Where did they get ammo?

The contrast between the two situations could not be clearer, but those who want to talk of gun control only and of nothing else engage in the fallacious a priori argument, “well, if the kids couldn’t get guns at all, neither incident would have happened.” In a country with as many guns in private hands are there are people, this is stupid beyond belief. Yet I heard this very nonsense from a guest on Tucker Carlson’s show just last night.
It’s sticking your head in the sand. It’s wish casting. It’s the economist stuck in the proverbial whole, who makes the heroic assumption “let’s imagine a ladder.” No, it’s worse than all that. It’s saying, “well, kids gotta keep dying, until we confiscate all the guns.” Which just so happens to be the planted axiom of this argument, and is in and of itself an a priori fallacy.

I’m a happy liberal who came across your site on facebook. I’m happy the shooter is dead and glad the SRO did the job he’s being paid to do. He’s not, as you claim as you try to slur liberals, a “private citizen” who just happened by. And I wonder what the result would have been if it had been the usual AR-15, a weapon that no private citizen needs as most intelligent gun owners and NRA members say. And Google news has plenty of links about this story by the MSM. Don’t believe every (any) thing you hear on Fox News and try to keep an open mind (like I do). The country is being destroyed by the Republicans in front of your eyes!
Bring a handgun to school? Better be a better shot than the security guard. This guy wasn’t. Rest in peace? Hardly, burn in hell.
Well, now we know what to call a school armed security guard. A very important resource.

Everyone knows what “stop mass shootings” means without anyone having to add “from happening.”
But, but, but, it is almost impossible for a person to own or carry a gun in Maryland, so how could this have happened. I guess the shooter decided not to follow the gun laws of Maryland. With all the gun control talk going around 24/7, no one has yet to tell me how they plan to keep the guns out of the hands of bad people as all of their ideas only keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.

WATCH CNN TRY TO PAINT THE THE SRO AS A COWARDLY MURDER INSTEAD OF THE CLASSIC HERO HE IS. YOUR ON CNN.
What is happening? When I was in high school mid-20th century, the guys had their guns in the racks in the back window of their pick up trucks in the school parking lot. NO ONE CARED and NO ONE GOT SHOT. If they had taken them into the school, I would imagine they would have been suspended, but it is a change in society, nothing to do with guns. We are raising a bunch of sick little snowflakes because parents are not doing their jobs and the kids are immune to violence with their violent shows and video games.

Way to go SRO!!! Took that POS right out of this world! Saving hundreds of lives no doubt! The liberals can all go F**K themselves and die in the process. Sorry to hear that people were injured by this douche bag, but he got what he deserved for sure.

The SRO did great and should get a medal for his action. Further more if trained teachers were allowed to carry I feel this would not even have happened. Gun free means an open invitation for shooters. If teachers carry guns then its not a gun free zone and anyone wanting to do harm would be thinking twice and three times about going into school and start shooting
The SRO is a hero. He did his job. Unknown how many children’s lives that he may have saved.
I can’t help but notice the silence…..
