Finally? Such hasn’t ever happened before?
Finally??? It happens all the time!
Is Henry retarded, brain injured or in the grip of dementia? Millions of people a year use a gun for defense in the United States.
I notice that the only reason that he sites this story is because the protector is a trained police officer and it fits his narrative.
Only train professionals should be permitted to carry firearms.
The peons must not be permitted arms because they can not be trusted.
Typical Business Insider liberal.
Trayvon wasn’t a “good kid” who Zimmerman thought was bad. He was a kid doing something suspectful, who when Zimmerman followed him, decided to try to kill Zimmerman.
Hence, he was a bad man, an attempted murderer. Zimmerman was able to shoot to defend himself, before Trayvon was able to beat him unconscious.
And of course, guns are used all the time to stop crime. Even once in a while, the police actually use their guns to stop crime, although they usually use them to kill people’s dogs.
The guy that wrote thia article is just another gun-phobe who thinks that only police officers should have guns.
The opponents of the 2nd Amendment have selective memories or are willfully ignorant because they are dozens of examples every month where regular people use a gun to protect themselves. There are countless other events which are not reported where a gun is shown and that is sufficient to deter the criminal.
Sometimes, even idiots learn to spell and get published.
I’ve no idea why Blodget is opposed to guns. The type of crime he carried out was punished as civil securities fraud instead of a criminal offense that would have denied him the right to own a gun, but still, it rarely results in the fraudster being gunned down by irate investors whose retirement is stolen.
“He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2 million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement.”
Excuse me while I go take a Blodget.
Henry Blodget is a huge left wing extremist. He usually writes columns on taxes and economic policy and he is quite the 0bamatard.
That's Freepers' fault. If we kept a running total of incidents nationwide, we can instantly educate/challenge these apparently clueless "reporter"/commentators.
the problem is the MSM in the different states totally ignore these incidents, but most of the local press always report them. How can we do better?
trayvon martin was a genuinely bad guy. i reject the writer’s premise.
Or are too stupid or dishonest to use Google efficiently.
There are at least 9 web pages of incidents.
It’s not that he hasn’t heard of them he just doesn’t want to believe it: http://mobile.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-27/how-often-do-we-use-guns-in-self-defense
Ok kids, Business Insider is a leftie site with all of the NY gun hating tendencies. Rather than spew about the article (which is what they want) just delete Business Insider from your favorites as I have done. Joe W. Smartypants will feel the pain when views drop to zero. Don’t debate them, ban them.
This idiot is a liberal with a criminal background who would rather be called a “libertarian.” His publication always wrong...as stupid as he is.
“In practice, unfortunately, the guns that good guys own to protect themselves from bad guys too often end up killing the good guys’ kids or wives or the good guys themselves “
Typical liberal spreading a typical liberal lie. Liberals are the most stupid and ignorant of idiots.
The skeet shooting Montana girl that blew away 2 armed (one packing a stolen .45 auto; the other packing a knife) illegal aliens who home-invaded while she was home alone.
Or the 12 YO Oklahoma girl.
Or, posted earlier today: “Liquor store owner detains knife-wielding robber at gunpoint” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2992922/posts
So many examples, none of which he’ll read or give credence to.
“Have at it”, you say?
In that case, consider this howler: “...in the case of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, the guns kill people who the good guys think are bad guys but who aren’t actually bad guys.”
One must assume the presstitute who wrote that line never did his research, and didn’t see the Facebook pics of the soi dissant “No limit Nigga” acting out his inner thug.
