Instead of remembering the shooter’s name, let’s remember the names of the Capitol Police heroes who saved so many lives on June 14 at the congressional baseball practice.

Good for them, but what we really need to focus on is that had it not been for them, everyone would’ve been helpless and unharmed. 10 minutes for the police to arrive. 10 minutes for the killer to kill everyone. This is the real problem, we need to allow everybody to be armed

And London last week was eight minutes. In every attack that has occurred, the police arrive way too late to help so many victims. Instead of media and Congress talking about gun control, they should be talking about empowering citizens to defend themselves. I found it incredible hearing a member of Congress say that they, members of Congress, should be given national CCW rights. Why just them?

Bailey kept engaging with his pistol against the shooter's AR-15, even after being shot, and then afterward checked on some of the congressmen. One congressman said that if they had not been there, the Democrat militia shooter (my term) could have just walked up and killed every one of them point blank. These officers prevented the mass assassination of the Republican House Caucus.

I believe these two saved more than these Congressmens’ lives. I credit them with saving our nation. If that assassin had completed what he set out to do, we’d be looking at a very different republic this morning.

I’m seriously trying to figure out how I can carry at ALL times nowadays. Like at the gym, golf course, etc. Between the liberals and the muzzies, it’s patently unsafe to be without a firearm in public.
