Excerpt: On this day in 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest at the side entrance of the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue by John Hinckley Jr. Reagan was walking to his limousine after a speech to AFL-CIO leaders when Hinckley, 25, who was standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots, hitting Reagan and three others.
Thankfully he was literally surrounded by good guys with guns preventing….oh.
But surely trained and armed amateurs are the solution to stop shootings because reasons.
The other thing that never seems to get taken into account is that most of the NRA membership wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a barn if it weren't for the fact that the barn was stationary and not firing back.
They think that proficiency at the shooting range is the same thing as proficiency in combat.
