A big thankee to Texas Red for dropping a link to the Appalachian School of Law shooting where two atudents went to their cars, retrieved their firearms and held the shooter at gun point for authorities.
Uncle also put out an alert for newsstories of this nature. He and his readers were able to come up with a total of eight, including the Appalachian example, as well as Tacoma Mall hero, Dan McKown.
Spread the word folks. In fact, I’ll be “Winning the Special Olypmics” for the rest of this morning
(For those not familiar with the above phrase, it is derived from the longer saying “Arguing on the internet is like winning the special Olympics. So what if you win, you’re still retarded.” I am bound and determined to get one of these leftards to admit that no idea that they could come up with for gun control, even total and complete registration of all firearms, would have stopped the murders at Viginia Tech)
For more inspiration as to my motives, I give you a link to today’s Seattle Times “Letters to the Editor”
There are seven letters on the topic of the murders; Five of them explicitly say that firearms are bad, one of them talks about violent video games and another talks about Iraq.
Not a single pro-self defense letter in the bunch.
Why am I not surprised? This is Seattle.
