Generally speaking, you don’t bring a nothing to a gunfight and expect to win.

It can happen, but you don’t make “use your bare hands to take down a guy with an AK-47” your Plan A.

I know this because I have training, experience, and a brain. The blithering idiots at Addicting Info, however, looked at this fluke, consulted fellow blithering idiots who know nothing about lethal force, and published an article titled Proving The Best Defense Is A Good Guy WITHOUT A Gun, Unarmed U.S. Soldiers Foil French Gunman (VIDEO)

I’m pretty sure Addicting Info’s writers are literally the dumbest people on earth. I don’t know much about AI’s writers or editors. I haven’t seen their IQ test results. I’m sure they’re all educated, and probably know many things about important topics like white privilege or microaggressions. But anyone who believes you’re better off unarmed when someone tries to shoot you with an AK has to be dumber than Forrest Gump. You have to be pretty far down the intelligence scale to write drivel like this:
“The least surprising thing about Friday’s events in France is the fact that the shooter was stopped by unarmed good samaritans. The idea that the best weapon against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun is pure NRA propaganda… It’s tough to imagine how things might have turned out differently if the two good samaritans were armed on that French train. Multiple guns would have just added to the chaos and potentially to the injury or body count.”

"The idea that the best weapon against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun...."
====================

It is not possible to reason with someone that believes cops (good guys) should not have guns to use against bad guys.

More than likely she is just an intellectually challenged god damned liar.

Confronted by 4 oversized sawbucks with tools in hand, she would gladly welcome any savior with a gun.

It's a crying shame that people today are so lazy that they cannot invest the time in thinking about horrifying things that might happen, based on the probability and reality of things that have already happened to many others, as the author of this article has demonstrated.

The idiot writer at Addicting Info cites Mother Jones as an authority for her claim for the uselessness of armed civilian resistance to shooters. Mother Jones, of course, is one of those far left magazines that thinks a Better World can be achieved by disarming ordinary Americans and arming Communists.

While it was displayed in that train incident that unarmed people can defeat an armed assailant, it is not common and it was only through good fortune that they succeeded.

if any of the good guys had a machete the result would have been different: faster and making the perp dead;

if any of the three good guys had a firearm, or if anyone else on the train had one the result would have been very fast and very final;

Allowing anybody to have and carry any weapon anytime and anywhere will not make the bad guys any more dangerous than they now are. They already do it.

It will make the law-abiding citizens safer and more able to stop violent actions such as this train incident.

It would take about ninety days for all the idiots and hotheads to shoot each other out of the game. From then on it would be a safe and content world.

Criminals avoid armed people.
Common sense is almost obsolete.
A big thank you to all the people that force their kids to prisons known as public schools. You are now seeing the results of your stupidity and laziness.

from PIDGE’S RULES

Lt.T.C. “Pidge” Robinson, Texas Ranger

Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

A higher body count? Heck yeah! If Moogalian or Spencer or Norman had been packing heat, the body count would quickly have risen to one, the terrorist. Good job was done, but those first responders been armed, a better job would have been done.

Luckily the terrorist was an idiot with an AK47 instead of a well trained resolute man with a AK47.
These Jihadis have a tendency to get pretty stoned before beginning their suicide missions, ignore their lack of training.
