Well, they\u2019re at it again.\u00a0 Their egos deeply invested in their narrative that \u201cguns are bad and so are the people who own them,\u201d we now hear prohibitionists telling us that no mass murder has ever been stopped by a \u201cgood guy with a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Au contraire<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 Here\u00a0are a dozen cases<\/a> where armed good people of both genders stopped massacres by drawing and if necessary, firing their own guns.<\/p>\n

To this list I would add the Aurora, Colorado church shooting which, ignored by the media, happened within two months of the mass murder in the \u201cgun free zone\u201d theater in that same community.\u00a0 The perp opened fire at the church, killing an innocent woman; before he could claim any more victims, a parishioner drew his own legally-carried concealed handgun and shot the murderer dead.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t read about that in the mass media, did you?\u00a0 Or the incident some years ago in Cape Town, South Africa where organized terrorists attacked a church and opened up with machine guns and grenades, but were routed by a single parishioner who returned fire with a five-shot snub-nose .38.\u00a0 And shall we remember the many armed citizens who saved people at the Westgate Mall terrorist attack, while soldiers and police fibrillated outside?<\/p>\n

Note that from the monster at Sandy Hook to the one in the Aurora theater to the latest at the Oregon campus, these punks have surrendered, suicided, or gone down in front of righteous gunfire as soon as good guys with guns entered the equation.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Bethlehem has recently called on more citizens to carry guns<\/a> and stop terrorist attacks, recognizing that armed citizens have done so before in his country\u00a0. Said the mayor, \u201cIf we look at the statistics in Jerusalem and elsewhere, we see that aside from the police, civilians carrying weapons have foiled terror attacks. They will increase the likelihood of fast intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wish American politicians and pundits could face reality so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
