The Good Guy With A Gun

By now we all know the story of Elisjsha Dicken breaking a trigger to stop a massacre. “Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” said Chief James Isom of the Greenwood, Indiana Police. Although, It did not take long for Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action to get on Twitter and say,

“I don’t know who needs to hear this but when a 22 year old illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall and kills a mass shooter after he already killed three people and wounded others is not a ringing endorsement of our implementation of the Second Amendment.”

Kris Brown, President of the “Brady Bunch” referred to Dicken as a, “Vigilante.” The pejoratives against this young man in the mainstream media are limitless.

What is intriguing is that the mainstream anti-gun left is smearing Eli Dicken. They are NOT smearing Jonathan Sapirman, the mall shooter who looked to massacre countless numbers of people.

Shannon Watts is not only despicable, but dishonest. Shopping Malls across America post explicit signs at their entrances warning, “No Weapons.” In Many states, however, such postings have no force of law. In the worst-case scenario, Mall Management may send a letter to the offending person demanding that they not enter upon mall property. This is called a “No Trespass Letter.” Mall Management may demand that an armed person leave.  Like the Granite State, this is also the case in Indiana. Again, such postings have no force of law. Shannon Watts is a charlatan and a mass shooter advocate.

The real problem for the left however, is this incident has blown apart their skeptical narrative of a “good guy with a gun,” and they cannot wrap their heads around it. Anti-Second Leftist bedwetters are losing at every turn with the recent Supreme Court decision (Bruen).  It would appear that the Ant-gun left want the mass casualties to push their narrative.

Republicans and Democrats alike stood on the bloody corpses of the Uvalde children to pass some gun legislation. But we already know how weak the Republican party is in terms of moral courage.

Summarily, one thing that stands in stark contrast is that Eli Dicken got done in 15 seconds what 80 plus police officers could not do in an hour and 10 minutes.
