Illinois gunman shot ‘five good guys’ carrying guns. The NRA is silent

The NRA said that all we need is a “good guy with a gun” to confront and neutralize an attacker.

Well, there were FIVE good guys with guns that were shot immediately by the Aurora, Ill., gunman, with a laser. They are called police officers.

I suspect we won’t hear from the NRA on this.
