Can this be? Guns used by good guys, protecting themselves and their property? Who woulda thunk!

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...

Finally, my first post.

That's right! Pretty soon all the "stupid criminals" will be in the clink. Then we'll be able to concentrate on the more serious types. Sheesh.

"The pair had met at a drug rehabilitation clinic and plotted the burglaries to buy heroin"

This illustrates how hard it is to get the monkey of one's back.Instead of plotting how to stay clean and out of trouble,they were scheming how to get more dope into their arms.Cold blue steel saved the day this time.

Wheeeeee! A 17 year old high school student with a gun defends a neighbor's home. This is how it's supposed to work. Arm 'em young!

Thanks for posting this. I love stories about kids exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

Children with guns, aaaaiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee! Calling Sarah Brady!!!!!! Guns just make a bad situation worse! She told me so herself! Why, there would have been peace everlasting and joy on earth, except that these guns were pulled on poor, alternative individuals.

Do I really need a /sarcasm here?

Read between the lines here. The only reason they were in treatment was undoubtedly court-ordered for an offense against the WOD, which is obviously creating and enabling violent criminals.

"Drug rehab" is just another profitable special interest member of the criminal-industrial complex.
