Yall arent getting it. The guy didnt magically dissappear after shooting. He had to be taking up space in the universe. He had to get away. My poimt is im just surprised with a state with citizens fighting to have open carry and there was no one arm. Thats all.

What percentage of the population of Arizona do you think is carrying at any given time? Do you think that percentage drops at a Democratic political event?

I was as well.

People don't react like they are badass internet warriors. They flee from the scene. Everyone talks a big game about being able to draw and kill someone, but that's not reality. The average gun owner will not draw and kill when something this happens, they duck and cover.

He didn't disappear, an unarmed citizen tackled his ass when he went to reload. As I clearly stated before, gun owners have been shown to not have the killer instinct. The choose flight over fight. Most of the time it takes someone trained to choose fight and draw to kill. Like an off duty or someone military trained. The average john smith with his carry license doesn't react well to pressure that a shooting brings on.

The woman that tackled him was already wounded.

She's quite the fucking hero, actually.

From what I have heard and read, a woman didn't tackle him. Two dudes tackled him. A old woman grabbed the magazine from him after two dudes tackled him. She wasn't shot, but she prevented him from reloading while struggling with the two guys.

Maisch was waiting in line with her husband to get a photo with Giffords at the meet-and-greet on Saturday morning.

Two men tackled the suspect — they were identified as Roger Sulzgeber, who was also in line, and Joseph Zimudie, who was at a nearby Walgreens and heard the shooting. The shooter reached for a magazine as he struggled with the men, Maisch said.

"Somebody said 'Get the magazine!' so I got the magazine, and I was able to secure that," Maisch said. "That's what needed to be done."
