A phrase frequently used by members of the National Rifle Association, Focus on the Family, and other conservative Christian groups aimed at abusing representative democracy to impose biblical law on non-Christians. Originally used to describe a concealed-carry permit holder who shoots a would-be attacker before they can accomplish real harm, but has since been co-opted to refer to white supremacists, especially current and former members of the military, American law enforcement (don't even get me started on the SROs), and other ammosexual evangelist control freaks. Not something Jesus Christ would approve of if he were alive today.

Thank god the NRA went bankrupt after the Capitol Insurrection.
After watching the news coverage of the insurrection at the Capitol Building, I'll never hear the phrase, "Good guy with a gun," the same way ever again.

Have you noticed how many, "good guys with guns," are just straight up Nazis and klansmen?
