Mens rhea, perhaps.

Would you do nothing?

I've been shot at before.

Turns out: It sucks.

Bravery isn't defined by heroic activities.

Bravery is defined by taking action when others don't.

I concur with your post and it saddens me... and it saddens me because I concur with it.

Notice the vague similarities, but also notice that a five-year-old with five minutes of being shown the differences can tell which is which.
Hahaha, maybe it was a Tec-9! Or a plasma blaster! I honestly don't care what it was, the media can't figure it out and in the end it matters about as much as the car he used to get to the mall. The media are gun experts: they're five year olds with more education than I'll ever have.
