Happy ending but the reporter had to throw in fake stats at the end to keep his press creds.

This whole unpleasantness could have been easily avoided. All the dead man had to do was obey the law and refrain from threatening innocent people. But oh no, that was just too much to ask.

Good. Innocent people have the right to protect themselves and their families. No government has the right to take away this right.

Vox used numbers to back up Clymer’s position, pointing to a 2012 study that basically says more guns equals more gun deaths. In 2012, the study showed that about 30 people per million died of homicide by firearm in the U.S., while that number was far smaller in places with stricter gun laws like Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Austria.

I don't think those countries have the same problem with ferals/illegals, so it's like comparing apples with oranges.

If they were honest, they could compare crime by ethnicity.

You have to be a dedicated mad scientist to label your heads with such beautiful calligraphy.

But in commentary for NBC News, former Army infantryman and gun owner Charles Clymer called the “good guy with a gun” theory a “myth.”

“I never see a ‘good guy with a gun,’” Clymer said. “I see a human more likely to exacerbate a tragedy than to stop it.

I guess Mr Clymer considered himself a human being more likely to exacerbate a tragedy then stop it during his military service!

Teri Garr was such a HOTTIE back then. Funny, FUNNY movie! Madeline Kahn was a riot in that movie.

It says more guns equals more gun deaths, so a good guy with a gun is a myth. That is so f...ing stupid. In this case, yes, there is one more gun death, the bad guy. But if the good guy hadn’t killed him we don’t know how many more innocent deaths there would have been.

Much better to rob a bank.They have instructions not to resist so you don’t need a gun.Just hand the teller a note and voila!...a bag of cash is handed to you.

No government has the right to take away this right.

No government is in a position to protect its citizens. When seconds count cops are minutes away. Guns don’t kill, it’s the human holding the gun who kills. There are literally thousands of apparently ineffective laws (including the 10 Commandments) forbidding humans from killing each other.

The good guy with a gun shot the bad guy.

The countries that have gun control and have let thousands of so called Muslim “refugees” waltz in have experienced a rapid increase of crimes. Of course, those same governments are now powerless to stop it.

Some gun death stats are positive as those deaths save the lives of others. Of course, those are usually in the minority.

Teri Garr was exceptionally pretty. And she could play comedy to perfection.
