That is why people need semi-auto pistols and rifles with high-capacity magazines. Among other reasons.

The playing field must never be level.

We should out gun them 500 to 1.

Only the “progressives” , the ones that were rooting for the woman and cop killer , want us disarmed.

He shouldn’t have been unarmed in a war zone.

Neighbors are hailing Harris a hero. "Unfortunately, he died but he's super dad," Terry Jones told the station. "I hope I have that much courage if something like that would've happened to me."

His gun-free zone seems to have worked out well for the guys who invaded his home.

Sounds like they had no interest in the girl.
Did they get robbed?

Miami. keeping your daughter at the same place as two pounds of cocaine isn’t protection.

So they broke in, menaced his wife with a gun, demanded money and he only “jumped up” when the attempted to enter the girls room?

This story stinks.

Miami is a sewer. Avoid it.

On Top Gear U.K. (Netflix) Season 9 ep. 2 they go to FL.

Hilarious! Highly Recommended watching.

Assuming we can believe what was reported as being accurate, Eyedigress has it nailed.

It’s all supposition, but fill in the blanks...

Gun control is meant to preserve the noble profession of criminal - a major Democrat constituency.

It is a horrible example of today’s journalism.

I have no idea why people give credence to Fox, and it is not just Fox.
There is no critical analysis in the news at all in this country anymore.

It is all just sensationalistic BS.

I know this for a FACT, If the guy is dead and the perps could do what they wanted, He is not “Super Dad”

He may have strived valiantly, but he erred and came up short.
What bugs me is that, they were in the house and menacing his wife with a gun to her head before he ever “jumped up” according to the report.

Sounds like he was sacked out to me.
That does not make him a bad guy or anything, but it sure doesn’t make him a “Super Dad”
