New York Times columnist Bret Stephens insisted that there wasn’t a “single instance” that conservatives could point to of anyone “us[ing] their guns to protect their liberties.”
Bizarrely, Stephens had already forgotten that it was a citizen armed with a gun who stopped yesterday’s massacre from becoming even more horrendous.
bunch of LIARS!!!
Guns Don’t Kill People; People Kill People.
I want guns kept in the right hands - and in more of them.
The CDC studied gun violence in 2013, after Obama’s order, and found a wealth of facts that didn’t fit the narrative that guns are dangerous. And that’s why the study didn’t receive the attention it deserved.
“..defensive gun uses by victims.. with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year,...”
The armed citizen is the first responder.
He should spend more time on Free Republic ... those are reported here almost weekly.
Every house that isn’t robbed because the burglar worries about a gun is an act of a firearm being used as self defense.
I guess these people also can not remember that poor police response time was cited as the reason for the high death tolls achieved by the perps at Columbine High School or Ecole Polytechnique or Sandy Hook. And gee, I guess ones like Morning Joe would have been happy to know that Mao or Hitler or Pol Pot did not have to worry about citizens defending themselves.
All he has to do is search for the NRA’s Armed Citizen.

So now not only do jUrnialists twist stories to cover the narrative*, ignore stories that do not adhere to the narrative, but now they’ll just plain LIE to continue to push the narrative.
*Guns are bad

“Oklahoma Man Uses AR-15 to Kill Three Teen Home Intruders”

Gee, is that AR-15 that used for self-defense just “a rifle,” or is it an “assault weapon.”
Well, since it was used for self-defense, it must just be “a rifle.”
Zimmerman vs Martin
It happens literally millions of times per year.
Liar.
More nonsensical gun laws that will only hamstring honest gun owners? More bureaucrats dictating our rights to us? MOLON LABE! FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS!!
They obviously don’t subscribe to the NRA magazine! Every issue contains real life stories of gun owners defending themselves and others.
America has the Second Amendment which allows citizens to be armed. Criminals have to play the “Is he/she armed?” game every time they get froggy. In this way, firearms provide self defense for people, armed and unarmed, everywhere, every damned day. That’s why the murderers among us choose places like churches, schools and malls to kill their victims. The likelihood of running into a good guy with a gun is very, very small.
Hey, Bret, why don’t you pick up a copy of American Rifleman. They have a monthly column about all the armed citizens who stop and/or drop perps on a regular basis. You know, those armed people you don’t think exist? You f*cking imbecile.
