A man went to a designated meeting spot in Brockton, Mass. for what he thought would be the purchase of a dirt bike. When he arrived, the person with whom he had been communicating drew what looked like a gun and attempted to rob him. A struggle ensued. At some point the man retrieved a 9-mm handgun from his vehicle and shot the robber.

New Tennessee law allows college faculty and staff to carry guns on campus.
Awesome!!!

A liberal acquaintance in California asked me what I thought he might need in order to defend his home and family from home invasion, and the like.

I suggested a 9mm, a couple of clips, and a box of shells.







A few days later he sent me this picture and asked me how to make it all work.
He voted for Obama… twice.

Good armed school employees have stopped mass shooters in the past, who knows how many lives might have been saved if the anti gun nut liberals hadn't gotten "gun free zones" enforced at schools.

Everybody isn't making a big deal out of it, loud, self righteous, liberal anti gun nuts terrified of an inanimate object are.

Teachers in Israel carry guns. They have had 8 children die in school shootings in the last few years. Our schools are "gun-free zones", we have had 343 children die in school shootings in the same period of time.

Actually that is not a good comparison. Our population is about 319 million and theirs is about 8 million. When you factor in the population differences; the death rates are fairly similar. Ours is only slightly higher than Israel's.


I don't mean to distract from your argument; I am on your side.
