You read this article and still don't see a problem with every idiot in the land toting a gun.
It takes a lot to make the stupidest post of the day on this particular forum, but I don't think you'll be challenged today. The idiot in this case was toting a knife.
But this isn’t your country. So your opinion doesn’t matter on this topic. Study the Minuteman and get back to the group educated.

This is why weapons should be fornidden. If anyone treathened me with a knife in my country I would burst out in laughter, and I have worked in psychiatric wards and seen all kinds of crazy. Noone here would harm others on purpose
Show me any country on earth with a murder rate of zero. You can't, so you have zero credibility.
This individual was threatened with lethal force and responded defensively in kind. It was proportional. Case closed. The deceased was entirely responsible for his own death. Had he not threatened someone with a knife he wouldn't be dead. A lot of people in the media over the past year could learn from this simple concept.
Why do we care this person died? Some idiot did a moronic thing a died and it was his own fault. Let’s move on

Isn't this one of the legitimate gun use cases? A guy was being robbed by a couple people with knifes and he shot them. Seems like a reasonable but unfortunate outcome.
Totally disagree.
Self-defense is proportionate to risk. You don't shoot someone when they shove you.
The self-defense was proportionate to the risk. If the shooter reasonably believed that the guy who came at him with a butcher knife intended to kill him, as the guy said he did, then the shooter absolutely was in the right to shoot to kill in self-defense. How could the shooter possibly have known that this was some sort of demented prank? He undoubtedly thought that the guy would slice him and likely murder him with the butcher knife unless he shot the guy.

Oh. The woke guy speaks.
Says the woke guy using the word woke as its cool to use that word, a word that never existed 2 years ago.
I get why gun owners want to own one, but surely they (gun owners) must realise 99% of people on this planet are morons who think they are Bruce Willis or Eastwood / insert relevant action hero. USA would be a better place without them I'm certain of that.
Yes, that is why people own guns.

We used the word woke in the 70s. Pretty sure it was also in use in the 1670s....
We might be better off without guns but this isn't an example of why. Shooting a guy with a knife would be an example of why owning a gun is good idea.. Shooting the guy that asks you to put on a mask so you don't kill other people would be an example of why gun ownership is stupid.
The term was popularized by Republicans in the 19th century in an effort to convince Democrats that progressive people were against slavery.
The prankster was actually Caucasian
