Nutjob James Von Brunn (the photo above is probably from two decades ago - he actually looks much older than this now) went to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC on June 10, somewhat lightly armed, but with the intention of shooting as many people - innocent people - as he could. He shot and killed the first person he met, the security guard who opened the door for him. How’s that for accepting a welcome?
The script changed, however, because two nearby guards immediately returned Von’s Brunn’s fire, critically injuring him. What this suggests to me is that in any of your gun massacres in recent years, if one or more responsible citizens in the nearby vicinity were armed, the incidents could have ended almost before they began. Imagine Virginia Tech as a place where two or three people were murdered, instead of 32. �

Exactly. Fools think that when a gunman starts shooting all that is needed is to call the police. Well, that can take 10, 15 minutes or even longer. An armed citizen can save many lives.

Shoot center mass and call cops later… I agree with the age old saying, “an armed society is a polite society”…

even if the Libs wet dream of throwing all the guns into the sea while singing “kum-bah-yah” was plausible ( it isn’t , criminals will always have guns )
there would be knife wielding madman or nuts with swords , baseball bats , etc
the best defense is a well placed shot to expedite blood loss in said bad guy.
firearms are perfect for this application. they create distance from the threat, are user friendly for any stature and easy to carry.
too bad the left has made this inanimate object a center piece for the crusade.

sirlancelot, you’re right. But did you hear that there was a movement in England to ban knives? Libs are incredible……….

as we slide toward being a police state the sheep will continue to bleat for their safety and big brother will only be too happy to provide it.

And another Amen to that, brother.
Amazing how many massacres responsible gun-wielders could be preventing.

Concealed carry is like car insurance. You hope to God you never have to use it, but when you do, you are SO GLAD you have it.
Great post yet again…

certainly a very valid point and one that hasn’t been mentioned enough within the media

If you agree with the above postings, please join a Pro Second Amendment organization. One national one (example NRA, Gun Owners of America, JPFO, Second Amendment Foundation, Citizens Committie Right Keep Bear Arms, FCSA, etc) and your home State’s gun org. I’m a member of all of the above including a few State’s that are very restrictive Cali, Illi, NJ, NY. I beleive that if you can stop a gun law from being passed in one of those State’s, you also helped prevented it from getting to your State later on. (remember Arnie outlawing the 50 bmg in Cali, now the disease is trying to spread) Give a membership to a friend or family member. Jr membership to the NRA is only $15. Help create the next generation of gun owners. thank you for reading this.
