The president of the gun control group Brady: United Against Gun Violence referred to a man who shot and killed a mass shooter in Indiana Sunday as a “vigilante.”
Kris Brown commented on a
mass shooting at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana, on Twitter Monday, a day after three people were murdered by a man with a rifle.
Elisjsha dikken, 22, was in the food court when the shooting began. He
fired 10 rounds from a handgun at a man police identified as 20-year-old
Jonathan Douglas Sapirman.
Authorities have said more people would have died, had it not been for dikken.
(These fukking people are insufferable and sound like this limp wristed gun haters on the coli.)
Brown commented on the situation on Twitter. She ripped the NRA in a statement in which she connected dikken’s actions to vigilantism.
“Here’s what we’re not going to do: continue to uplift the NRA myth of a ‘good guy with a gun,’ Brown wrote. “Let me be clear: If more guns made us safer, America would be the safest country in the WORLD. We need sensible gun laws, not vigilante safety nets.”
Brady: United Against Gun Violence was founded in 1974 and later renamed after
Ronald Reagan’s Press Secretary
Jim Brady, who was permanently disabled and later died during the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan.
The group calls on “people from coast to coast, progressives, and conservatives of every race, ethnicity, and identity, to combat the epidemic of gun violence.”
