Rabid gun banner Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) described as “mythology” the proved true assertion that good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns, and then suggested the Sydney hostage incident reminds us that we have to a “conversation here in this country” about the legality of “assault weapons.”
You have a conversation. I’ll take defensive action.
For instance, in one day’s news alone I saw the following news headlines without doing any searching:
- FL: Armed Robber Picks Armed Victim, Leaves Gun Behind
- NC: 14-year-old Protects Grandmother, Shoots, Kills Intruder
- IL: Homeowner Shoots Trespasser
- FL: Two Pit Bulls Attack Mans Dog: He Shoots Them
- NM: Burglary Suspect Shot, Killed, at Second House
- MI: Man shot in chest after trying to kill estranged wife
- PA: Homeowner calls 911; Shoots Suspect when Attacked
- CA: More Burglars Shot, Less Burglaries. Who Knew?
- VA: Neighbor Hears Screams, Shoots Attacking Dogs
- NM: Smoke Shop Employee Shoots Robber, Who Was Armed With a Shotgun, in the Head
- GA: 67-Year-Old in Walker Shoots Drunk Home Invader
- MA: Liquor Store Owner fires at Fleeing Armed Robber
- IN: Gun Beats Protective Order
Those are just a few. I found a few dozen more on the same day.
