If you haven’t heard the news, there was a shooting at a restaurant in Oklahoma City.

Armed bystanders gunned down a shooter Thursday at an Oklahoma City restaurant, killing him, police said.

A man opened fire with a handgun in Louie’s Grill & Bar, striking three people inside the restaurant from a position outside the front door, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Bo Mathews told reporters. 

As the gunman ran from the scene, two bystanders got their own handguns from the trunks of their vehicles, then confronted and fatally shot the attacker outside the restaurant, Mathews said Friday.

Being Oklahoma, the police praised the men.

“They were able to shoot this suspect and put an end to this very dangerous situation,” Mathews said, adding that the men — Carlos Nazario, 35, and Bryan Wittle, 39 — did not know each other. It’s not clear who fired the fatal shot. Police initially said only one man fired on the attacker.

Of course, Shannon Watts couldn’t let this “good guy with a gun” situation go against her narrative.

The gunman was shot in the parking lot AFTER he shot his intended victims: a woman and her daughter.

The @NRA’s new slogan: “The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun after he’s already shot his intended victims is a good guy with a gun – or the police. Whoever shows up first.” https://t.co/VQI8HBuO93

The problem is that she tripped over Warren v. DC.

The police have no duty to respond.  The police have no duty to protect.  There was nothing that required the OK City police to prevent this.

She can mock two concealed carriers for shooting the murderer and potentially preventing further loss of life, but there is nothing more that the police themselves were required to do either.

Maybe this is why anti-gun groups are drifting more and more into anti-police politics as well.

“Give up your guns because police will protect you… except they are not required to” is a harder message to sell.
