While Americans know that guns take many innocent lives every year, many don’t know that firearms also save them.

On May 15, an attacker at an apartment complex in Fort Smith, Ark., fatally shot a woman and then fired 93 rounds at other people before a man killed him with a bolt-action rifle. Police said he “likely saved a number of lives in the process.”

On June 30, a 12-year-old Louisiana boy used a hunting rifle to stop an armed burglar who was threatening his mother’s life during a home invasion.

On July 4, a Chicago gunman shot into a crowd of people, killing one and wounding two others before a concealed handgun permit holder shot and wounded the attacker. Police praised him for stepping in.

I used to be quite pro-police but with them going out of their way to enforce ridiculous laws like those and overlooking violent felonies, I am listening more to that ‘defund the police’ nonsense.

When seconds count, police are minutes away — and will just draw the chalkline.

I know 2 guys who shot at groups of threatening street hoodlums. One of them owned up to it, turned his gun in to the police, [blew out one of the hoods’ knees] and faced bullshiite charges because it was multiple lying hoods against 1 guy. The other guy walked away and never looked back. The 2nd guy did the right thing in my view — now. But I didn’t used to have this viewpoint.

“They are clueless about the meaning of “shall not be infringed”. Or the bastards just choose to ignore it.”

Unfortunately all too many people seem to be clueless about the meaning of most words these days. I saw an item yesterday about dropping the “recommended level” of some pollutant. It should have been the “allowable limit”. I cannot believe that such sloppiness is allowed.
