The View ATTACKS Legal Gun Carrier Who Ended Indiana Mass Shooting
Media Bias,Media Watch,The View,Greenwood Park Mall Shooting
22-year-old Indiana resident and legal gun carrier Elisjsha Dicken became a hero Sunday night after he drew his firearm and neutralized a mass shooter. Certainly, a hero in the eyes of any sensible person. But in the eyes of most of the cast of ABC’s The View on Tuesday, he was just as bad as the mass shooter. They smeared him and falsely claimed he “broke the law” by carrying his gun into the mall. They even denied that good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns.
These attacks on lawful gun carriers were started by co-host Joy Behar who tried to deny the fact that good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. “They say that a good guy with a gun can control a bad guy with a gun. Well, we saw in Uvalde that that’s not true,” she screeched, backed up by Whoopi Goldberg who noted the Buffalo shooting.
But Republican Lindsey Granger was on hand to clap back, noting that “But we saw that it is true in Indiana.” “It was true in Indiana. That was a lucky moment,” Behar scoffed.
A short time later, co-host Sunny Hostin lashed out at Dicken for daring to put an end to the mass shooting. Noting her own alleged training with firearms, she decried the hero taking shots at a moving target:
But with this good Samaritan thing. Listen, I was trained when I was at the justice department in firearms. And I was trained in defensive firearm training. It is very hard to hit a moving target. It is hard for people that are trained to hit a moving target. It is very lucky that that good Samaritan hit that moving target in that way.
