Gun Protection Facts Fell Through The Cracks

Common Sense Commentary:  Far more lives have been saved by guns in the hands of good citizens than have been taken by guns in the wrong hands. It's an unreported fact.

Did you know.... . • A 1997 high school shooting in Pearl, Miss., was halted by the school's vice principal after he retrieved the Colt .45 he kept in his truck. • A 1998 middle school shooting ended when a man living next door heard gunfire and apprehended the shooter with his shotgun. • A 2002 a terrorist attack at an Israeli school was quickly stopped by an armed teacher and a school guard. • A 2002 college law school shooting in Grundy, Va., came to an abrupt conclusion when students carrying firearms confronted the shooter. • A 2007 mall shooting in Ogden, Utah, ended when an armed off-duty police officer intervened. • A 2009 a workplace shooting in Houston, Texas, was halted by two coworkers who carried concealed handguns. • A 2012 church shooting in Aurora, Colo., was stopped by a member of the congregation carrying a gun. • In a 2012 mall shooting in Clackamas, Ore., the gunman took his own life minutes after being confronted by a shopper carrying a concealed weapon. 2500 times last year alone legal gun owners stopped violent crime when confronted with it long before any police assistance arrived. Of course, you probably didn't know any of this because the mainstreet media doesn't find it worth reporting. It's not sensational enough and doesn't fit with their Liberal agenda. What's unreasonable is people who think removing gun rights from responsible people will somehow keep them safe from insane and unreasonable people.

 Florida has the most concealed weapons permits and the lowest violent crime rate in the US. Chicago has the toughest antigun laws in the country, and yet kills more people than are killed in the Middle East conflicts. Go figure.
