No guns please, we're liberals . . .
As soon as today's "Good Morning America" began to tease an upcoming how-to segment on protecting against home invasion, I immediately suspected the show wouldn't discuss one obvious measure: obtaining fireams and learning how to use them.
And sure enough . . .
GMA ran the segment in the wake of the horrific home-invasion in Connecticut in which the the wife and two daughters of a prominent doctor were killed and the man badly beaten. An expert was brought in to discuss various measures, and Chris Cuomo added some suggestions of his own. They ranged from keeping shrubbery low, to installing lights, alarms and air chimes, to putting peepholes in the door, to creating a "safe room" to which a family can flee.
But never did GMA breathe a word about firearms. My favorite moment was Cuomo's Cactus Defense. That's Chris' hand pointing at that lethal little mini-cactus in the window planter.
GOOD MORNING AMERICA CO-HOST CHRIS CUOMO: Something as simple as cactus. Sounds simple, right? Oh, they wouldn't care about that, right? But they do. They think about these things. Chimes, outside the window.

I don't know, Chris. If your home were being invaded, what would you rather have handy: a spider cactus or a Smith & Wesson?

Home protection, MSM-style: killer cacti but no guns. Ping to Today show list.
Offer the robbers a glass of wine and a cracker.
I ask anti-gun types if they own a fire extinguisher, and explain the reasons to have a gun are almost exactly the same reason to have a gun.
..And I bet the cactus wasn’t even loaded!
And they wonder why we think their 'news' is a joke.

Don’t forget the cheese.
I’ve always wondered what windchimes are for . . . I thought they serve no purpose whatsover. How was I to know that they are an important part of home self-defense?
OMG. You forgot the QUICHE!
Savage!!!

Windchimes are to annoy your neighbors.
I’d imagine that one of the most under-reported “crimes” in the U.S. is the tragic windchime accident.
LOL. Yes, I bet the reasons are pretty similar.
That photo is chilling. No violent felon intent on robbery, murder, or mayhem would dare come near a house with cacti.
What leftard idiots. Or, perfect victims.
Neither. I'll take this Mossberg. If it's good enough to guard nuclear weapons, it's good enough for me.
I dunno Joe, the Nuke depot here in NM is surrounded by cactus.
