Is America still great? (split-off)

So how'd that work out in Las Vegas, or Orlando, or San Bernardino, or just now in NYC?

As far as I can tell, no armed citizen (good guy with a gun) took out the bad guy(s), or even just ever so slightly aided the police with those firearms.

There are multiple cases of people defending themselves with firearms. The main point of the second amendment to the constitution however is to protect yourself from all threats. Including tyranny from the government. Of course most people say, "that will never happen" but it has happened in many countries. There's nothing special about us here that specifically prevents that from happening in America.

We actually had a shooting just yesterday in a church in Texas. Reports state that the gunman was scared off when someone started shooting at them. So there's a very relevant, very recent example right there.
