And they will change their guns laws.

New Zealand shootings: Hero picked up mosque attacker's gun and chased him                      


https://news.sky.com/story/new-zealand-shootings-hero-worshipper-picked-up-attackers-gun-and-chased-him-11667098

   

    Abdul Aziz


"He bravely carried on and picked up a credit card reader off a table to use as a weapon before seeing the bodies of two people in a nearby pathway.      

                   Mr Aziz spotted the attacker as he was heading towards his car to get hold of another gun, and as he did so the worshipper hurled the machine at him.

The killer then got his new gun and started shooting at Mr Aziz about four or five times - but he was able to duck between cars.

It was at that moment that Mr Aziz picked up a shotgun which had been abandoned by the killer and chased him as the attacker returned to his car for second time to get another weapon.

Mr Aziz said: "I was screaming to the guy, 'Come I'm here, come I'm here'. I tried to put his focus on me. I didn't want him to go inside the mosque."

"He added: "I had the shotgun in my hands. Then I saw he dropped his gun and he ran and I chased him."

But the shotgun Mr Aziz had picked up was empty and so when the gunman got back in his car, Mr Aziz said he threw the weapon "like an arrow", shattering the car window.

"It bust his window and that way he got shocked."

“Opinions about this incident, itself?”


Another example of two wrongs not making a right.


Or in this case, maybe three wrongs.
