Good Guy With a Gun

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, A 16-YEAR-OLD WITH A SHOTGUN SHOT HIS WAY THROUGH THE LOCKED DOORS OF SILVER RAIL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BEND, OREGON.

HE KILLED THREE CHILDREN AGES 5, 8 AND 11 AND A TEACHER.

A 7-YEAR-OLD AND ANOTHER TEACHER ARE IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

THEN A MAN FROM THE COMMUNITY WHO SAW HIM GO INTO THE SCHOOL THE SHOOTER DEAD.

POLICE ARRIVED.

IT WAS ALREADY OVER.

FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES TOLD FOX NEWS HE HAS A CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT AND ONE SAID HE DEFINITELY PREVENTED MORE DEATHS.

IT TOOK JUST THREE MINUTES FOR OFFICERS TO ARRIVE.

POLICE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

EVERY OFFICER ON THAT FORCE TRAINED FOR AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IN AUGUST AND THEY WERE ON SCENE IN THOSE THREE MINUTES, FOUR PEOPLE DIED.

THREE MINUTES CAN FLY BY.

THREE MINUTES CAN FEEL LIKE AN ETERNITY.

THOSE THREE MINUTES COULD HAVE FELT EVEN LONGER IF THE GOOD GUY WITH A GUN HADN'T ARRIVED FIRST.

SO THAT'S THE TRAGEDY.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE THING EVERYBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT AFTER A TRAGEDY.

THE SHOTGUN WAS BOUGHT BY THE GUY'S MOTHER.

ORGAN BARS ANYONE UNDER 18 FROM HAVING A GUN UNLESS A PARENT ALLOWS IT.

OR IT'S FOR SOMETHING LIKE HUNTING OR TARGET PRACTICE.

SINCE 2021, THE STATE HAS REQUIRED GUN OWNERS TO LOCK THEIR GUNS UP WITH BIGGER FINES WHEN A KID GETS ONE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

ORGAN ALSO HAS UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, A RED FLAG LAW, A BAN ON GHOST GUNS.

THE GUN CONTROL GROUP GIFFORDS GIVES ORGAN AN A MINUS THE 11TH STRONGEST GUN LAWS IN AMERICA.

EVERY ONE OF THOSE LAWS WAS ON THE BOOKS AT 1259 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

IN 2021, OREGON DEMOCRATS PASSED A LAW LETTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS BAN GUNS EVEN FOR PEOPLE WITH CONCEALED CARRY LICENSES.
