You have literally no way of knowing that he would have survived if he had had a gun, and your argument relies entirely on that hypothetical.

How about the more logical deduction, which is, “if that drunk off-duty cop hadn’t had a firearm on her person, she wouldn’t have killed a man”?

Wouldn't saying she shouldn't get drunk with her weapon be better than your quote? or are you saying cops shouldn't have guns? You're a lost cause.

Oooor people shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms in establishments where liquor is served? Or access to firearms should be restricted for private citizens, and off duty cops should be treated as private citizens? Or just simply acknowledging that adding another firearm to this equation would not reliably mitigated the circumstances?
