CDC Study: Guns Used in Self Defense Almost 4 Times More Often Than Used by Criminals

Motto: An armed man is a Citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

Considering Canada’s latest (and worst in thirty years) mass killing from yesterday (10 people dead and others injured), it’s pretty obvious that when a lunatic/fanatic really wants to kill people, guns are not a requirement. Another “almost mass-shooting” took place in the US last week, when a crazy dude walked (apparently naked) into a Tennessee Waffle House and started shooting people with an AR 15 rifle. It would have been a massacre, but he was stopped by a heroic veteran who grabbed his rifle, after he killed for people. Guess what: he wasn’t allowed to own such a weapon, the Waffle House was a gun-free zone and the attacker (Travis Reinking, 29) had his guns seized in 2017 after he was arrested trying to enter a restricted area at the White House. The FBI ordered local police to confiscate Travis’ guns, and also his firearms license was revoked, yet that did not stop him from killing four people with a “banned assault weapon” or whatever nonsense the MSM is spewing nowadays.

How many criminals think twice about robbing someone because they believe their potential victim might be armed? The funny thing is, such a study was actually done. They surveyed convicted felons. It’s been a while since I’ve read it (couple years) but it wasn’t very surprising. A very high percentage indicated that they would not have performed their crime that day or selected a different target altogether if they knew there was a high chance of being confronted by an armed citizen. Just try to explain that to a “liberal”…

Now, the question is, why isn’t the NRA driving this point home every day?


Now, read the article and think before doing a drive by posting.

The NRA has but it has never gained any traction, why?

We want to talk about hunting, not the elephant in the room.

BUT NEVER FORGET THE REAL REASON FOR THE 2ND AMENDMENT.

Another question is why have gun manufactures and ammo producers not promoted this?

I can only guess that the push back from the libs would be tremendous..........................

discuss amongst your selves.

On reflection, this would create a lot of division on a lot of different levels. It might be the division point that does cause a civil war, just like slavery was the “issue” in the prior one.

I am not sure I want to make this crime issue which leads to racism etc. the reason.

I want the real reason for the 2nd amendment to be discussed, this will unite many for the right reason.

Just as nobody wants division in the church, yet Jesus said he came to divide on the ONE issue. Paul said, of course you must have division because.........(I will let the reader do his own research)

Been to Waffle House many, many times.
Matter of fact, my wife and I patronized that exact same Waffle House in TN just the Saturday morning before this incident. Both of us were carrying...concealed.
And yeah. I’ve read that sign.
Concealed is concealed...period.

This article shows the true reason for the leftists unholy war against firearms. Please realize the fact that the left cannot stand the idea of a free thinking, Constitution loving Armed Law Abiding American Citizen defending themselves, and others from criminals and their ilk. That is against the leftists creed: only we known what’s good for you and you must bow down before us and do what we say. Please read this article, Copy it, print it and pass it out. We must defend ourselves from the left or we will be subjugated to the sick, pervert ways!!

“but he was stopped by a heroic veteran who grabbed his rifle, after he killed for people.” .............. Now lets find the people he killed for??? OK, its punny, but lets look at it correctly, he was a Vet, and what did Senator Fine-Whine-stein say about Vets? (rhet.)
