You try to make it sound as if it was just some average hero, that happened to be there and saved the day with his gun. It was a off duty police officer that took him down that was hired to do security.

Most states/towns allow their officers to work as security for businesses and usually allow them to wear their uniform, badge & often use their patrol car. It's what the guy was there to do. He did his job and likely saved a few lives.

It's a big difference when a trained professional is there to stop a crime and using deadly force vs some John wanna be Rambo whom carries a gun hoping he can one day shoot someone.

Keep in mind I'm not anti gun, but rather pro responsibility when it comes to using them. I'd say the majority of gun owns in this country are not responsible.
