Ever since the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, many on the Left have cited the lack of immediate response from the deputy on duty as evidence that the “good guy with a gun” approach isn’t an effective deterrent to would-be shooters. At the same time, more “gun free zones” liberals say help ensure everyone’s safety have been called for. With that in mind, here’s the latest news about Pulse Nightclub mass murderer Omar Mateen and why he chose that location:
Prosecutors: Pulse attacker intended to attack Disney World's shopping and entertainment complex by hiding a gun in a stroller, but became spooked by police and instead chose the gay club as his target. https://t.co/bzMT6LiGSR

He got “spooked”? In other words:

So wait, he was afraid of good guys with guns and chose an unarmed target?

That flies directly in the face of a couple gun-related liberal narratives (and another we’ll get to in a minute):
Wow, so a killer was deterred by armed security and instead chose a 'gun free' zone. Shocking! https://t.co/nf3NXDd2Zp https://t.co/SIOQrWA0hC

Well, there goes the left's stupid argument that good guys with guns don't deter bad guys. https://t.co/z2v1wjJ1nK

You mean, attackers are afraid of potential victims having their own weapon? ? https://t.co/bEdKSuVa1J

Well well, security is a deterrent to mass shooters, who woulda thunk. Yall know his terrorist dad was an fbi informant, pro hillary, and against the second amendment too? Wonder why

I guess bad guys are scared off by good guys with guns.

"Hey wait….this isn't a gun free zone like I thought it'd be."

The wrecked narrative isn’t just confined to things that are gun related:

Republicans inspired a jihadist to act a gay night club *as an afterthought*, it's clear as crystal folks

A lot of talking points just went up in smoke.
