It's only too bad he wasn't able to shoot them both.

"Gun laws should not be based on one event, either tragic gun shootings or instances of self-defense like this," Bennett said.

Is this freak serious? During the sniper shootings, all the anti-2nd groups came out pointing to this as a reason to ban guns. Editorial cartoonists were blaming the NRA for the snipers actions. If anyone uses "one case" as a reason to ban guns, it's these wackos.

Cool. Chaulk one up for the good guys!

Chaulk one down for fair and balanced reporting. There was no way this article was getting printed without the lefty disclaimer of one-good deed does not a good gun make.

Even in victory gun rights are disclaimed in print.

I always love to hear stories of the "criminals picked the wrong person to criminalize" theme.

The local authorities should have a fund available to help this guy clean out the car. When I was with a car rental company, we got back a vehicle with two gunshot homicides in the back seat. We had to strip it down to the metal frame and let it air out. All the material had to be replaced. Think this is covered under the comprehensive insurance policy?

"When an incident like this occurs with the carjacker being killed, while any loss of life is unfortunate, the carjacker made that decision and had suffered the consequences," he explained.

What is unfortunate about a piece of human garbage taken out of circulation, never to prey on another soul again? I just feel bad for the guy who has to deal with all the body fluids this scumbag left behind in the back seat.

"Anecdotal stories like this don't necessarily make up good policy. To say that because one individual may have used his gun in self-defense in this case doesn't necessarily mean anything about gun policy. It tells you very little," said Matt Bennett, spokesman for Americans for Gun Safety.

Alice might disagree. I wish she had been armed.

Arguably, it tells us that gun ownership protects innocent lives, which is the very reason I started carrying one.

An even more anecdotal story about this shooting would be:

It's a tough game to play, "You Bet Your Life." Often there is no trip to the semi-finals.

Man, I've been waiting to use this line back on the liberals for so long: "If it saves just one life...it's worth it."

Tragic gun shootings? Doesn't this creep mean "tragic shootings?" Does AGS really think the more they use the word "gun," the more America will reject the NRA?

"But a group favoring restrictions on gun ownership cautioned that this one incident should not be used to draw conclusions on gun laws or to heap praise on any individuals."

The conclusion I draw is that some gun law allowed this man to protect himself and to rid the world of a predator. The 'individual' was not looking for praise - he was looking for self-protection, and because of a 'gun law' he was able to do so.

Aren't we always hearing: "If this blah blah saves only one blah blah, it is worth it." Well this 'one incident', because of some gun law, saved someone ----- and that's good enough for me.

So there!!!
