Oh, the guy who took on the guy with the gun physically, was not only crazy, he was stupid, thoughtless and uncaring as far as thinking about  who might have been shot and injured during the struggle too.

Have you heard from the Waffle House guy himself?  He said that he didn't think (an necessary precursor to effective action, by the way), but acted to save himself.  He doesn't consider himself a hero, merely a survivor.  At the time, all he could think was: this guy intends to kill us all.  Failing to act on impulse, which is the normal human response, might have lead to everyone in the restaurant either dead or wounded.  

I've tried to make this point with you in the past.  The presence of a 'friendly gun' is much less important than the instinct he showed at the time.
