Major outbreak of stupidity in the Comments section below the article but there are some really great responses to the usual crapola on “reasonable” and “common sense” gun laws.

“I haven’t found a single case where gun control advocates’ fears were borne out by the facts. In not one of these cases did a permit holder accidentally shoot a bystander, or a police officer accidentally harm a permit holder.”

There was one in Israel at Gush Etzion Junction. An Arab attacked my son’s teacher’s brother with a knife. He shot his attacker dead, and a soldier at the scene mistook him for a terrorist and shot him dead before the soldier was able to ascertain the facts. That’s just an exception that proves the rule, though.

So glad there was a good guy with a gun in Texas.

I think gun control advocates don’t understand that in rural areas, when seconds count, help is not minutes away. Sometimes it’s an hour away.
