Dennis Prager is talking about this story right now, about guns in general, and the moron local St. Joseph's County DA who said "even though this was a justified killing, it is not any less tragic."

[Travis McGee]

Now that's what I call shooting! And from an 11 year old!

I don't know if he's really that good, or just lucky, but it sure is good to be lucky!

Maybe his daddy's hands were wrapped around his son's when the boy made the one shot stop.

I wonder how the St. Joseph's county DA would feel, if the boxcutter had been held to his neck? I'll bet the death of the villain wouldn't seem so "tragic" then!

"I don't know how he did that. One shot and he got him. He's my little hero," Gay said of the grandson she adopted.

Video games!

[Travis McGee]

No doubt!

[Destructor]

P.S.- I love a happy ending!

[sanchmo]

Now that's what I call "common sense gun control" !!

[blam]

Bump for the good guys.

even though this was a justified killing, it is not any less tragic."

The only thing "tragic" about this situation is how the liberal media will pillory this hero child.

In an arrest in November, Murry listed "drug dealer" as his occupation, according to booking records at the St. Joseph County Jail.

Good riddance.

[Travis McGee]

Dennis Prager says "he has evolved thoroughly on his attitude toward gun ownership and gun use" since his days as a liberal, and now believes that children should be tought to use guns.

Formerly, Prager would not even buy his young son toy guns.

Now he understands that it does not do a service to children to deny them the knowledge of how to protect themselves and their families with guns. 'If we lived in the Garden of Eden, it might make sense, but since we live in the real world where evil exists, we need to equip our children to deal with it.' (T.M. paraphrase.)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"The boy shot one round and hit Murry, 27, in the chest, even though the man was shielding himself with Gay. "

Impressive.
Most impressive.

[Travis McGee]

The boy should get three medal:

/1/ "Junior Marksman of the Year" from the NRA.

/2/ "Hero Medal" for saving his mom's life under unbelievably great preassure.

/3/ "Community Service Medal" for ridding South Bend of an career dirtbag who was jailed 16 times in the last 9 years for assault, carjacking, drug dealing, burglary etc.

Especially with a .45!!! They have a NOTORIUSLY heavy duty KICK!!!! Indeed I was about 13 before I even shot my granddad's Singleshot Ruger .250!!!!

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

11 year old

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I guess the boy is another confirmation of the .45 being a solid man stopper.

[Roger_W_Isom]

A word of advice to the kid.... Don't lose ANY sleep over offing this FREAK!!! you have just done society a SERVICE by elimating a potential SERIAL MURDERRER!!!
