Of the 50 "Active Shooter Incidents" (definition is within the doc), the report says:

Citizen Engagement and Casualties
In 10 incidents, citizens confronted the shooter. In eight of those incidents, one or more citizens safely and successfully acted to end the shooting.
■ In four incidents, unarmed citizens confronted or persuaded the shooter to end the shooting. In two incidents, school staff confronted and restrained the shooter. In one incident, the citizen used his car to thwart the shooter. In one incident, the citizen persuaded the shooter to surrender via telephone during a police chase; she ran up to the shooter’s car as he came to a stop and pulled him
out of his seat, bringing the chase to an end.
■ In four incidents, citizens possessing valid firearms permits successfully stopped the shooter. In two incidents, citizens exchanged gunfire with the shooter. In two incidents, the citizens held the shooter at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived.
■ In one incident, a citizen possessing a valid firearms permit exchanged gunfire with the shooter, causing the shooter to flee to another scene and continue shooting.

It's pretty clear by now that the top brass at the FBI are on the gun grabbin' bandwagon. David Hogg's dad was retired from the FBI, before becoming the Baby Jesus of the Gun Hate coalition.

David Hogg was giving me serious Hitler youth vibes.
 
Facts show quite simply that the 2nd Amendment works and should continue to be supported by anyone with half an ounce of common sense in them.

Picking one person out of pool of people is a poor choice for debate, because Jones is at the very most an exception. Not in anyway the rule. Not to mention this speak volumes about the state of the democratic party and the way they have acted in the past. Because if he is able to win through all of the crap we know about him, then just how bad does that make the democratic representatives in his state.

The bigotry of low expectations, like many of their other problems. Has begun to catch up with them in the long run and if the democrats lose this seat. It will be completely on their heads.

Also Jones is one person, so I would use a singular to describe him. Unless you are so inclined to call everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi?

An exception that won a bid to be the GOP nomination for a senate seat. Sure, Jones doesn't represent all of the GOP, but he is in fact a Republican who is also a Nazi. It's weird that you want to imply someone is a Nazi, but completely fail to acknowledge the literal, self acknowledged Nazis within the Conservative political atmosphere

The Republicans in Illinois nominating a literal Nazi speaks volumes about the Democratic party?

Or it could communicate that Republicans don't mind if people self identify as Nazis.

Well, there used to be the days when I could confidently say that Republicans wouldn't nominate sexual predators, child molesters, and Nazis but 2016-18 has shown that I need to lower the bar for Conservatives in America.

Are you really rooting for a Republican Nazi just to spite the Democratic senator in Illinois? Like, is this really what's going on right now?

I'm using a singular person because he was nominated by the Republicans within a district in Illinois to represent them. I'm not calling all Republicans Nazis, but the Republican party most certainly has a Nazi problem.

I have acknowledged it. Though its obvious that you are failing at perceiving a literal joke here. Because Hitler youth was one of the more hilarious memes that was surrounding David Hogg at the time. This coupled with the fact that people are falling in line with Jones's talking points and policies, instead of just how he identifies. Is pretty much speaking volumes at this point.

Yes, it does. Or do you not seeing the hilarity in the issue of not being able to beat a self identifying Nazi (by popular vote I might add) in a political election. How horribly have the democrats been treating their own constituency in this past decade may speak more volumes. Then some guy who identifies as a Nazi, getting the seat.

Actually it shows just how someone, despite being an underdog in the political eye. Can take one of the more politically prominent seats in their state. If he is good at what he does, then he deserves his seat. Despite how he identifies himself, his religion, or the color of his skin.

At least the Republicans are finally catching up to the Democrats in that respect. After them nearly dominating it for all of these years.

I'm rooting for a person who managed to win their seat and only if they can do their job well, then all the better. I am not so petty as to boil my decisions about him down simply to shun him for how he identifies himself. Should he perform admirably, then he will have my blessing. If he ****s it all up however, then our system will have him out in due time. One of the reasons he won, was because right at this moment. The democrats are seen as literally worse than Nazis.

Do you know why he was elected? What his policies were, what his platform was.

Than again, almost everyone on the left ****ed up what Trumps platform was about... so this could be a communication issue.
