The solution to gun violence is and always has been the same. The way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Such was the case of the horrible shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
The attack by a hate-filled individual killed 27 people and wounded 20 more. Had it not been for a law-abiding citizen with a gun, a former NRA instructor with his own AR-15, there no doubt would have been more killed. Stephen Willeford armed himself and engaged the killer, shooting him twice and, along with fellow neighbor Johnnie Lagendorff, pursued the shooter when he fled. They knew that it would take more time than they had for police to arrive.
Watching one of the talking heads on TV when they interviewed Lagendorff, only further me that these people have no clue about the real world. She asked him how he was able to compose himself and know what to do in a situation such as this and then said, "Why would you take off after a man that had just shot all those people?" His reply was simple, "Why would you not?"
The Babylon Bee, a Christian satire website, has a suggestion on how to solve the real problem - human nature. Just have congress pass a law prohibiting human nature and that will solve the problems.
Of course you would have to arrest about 350 million people. Congress would be the first to be arrested.
I think we should test the idea by arresting them now and see how everything improves.
