Folding Under Reality

Jacqueline here would be as effective at stopping the violent as she is in arguing they be given an advantage under armed force of "law." What a fool anyone who buys into her utter crap is. [More]

The security guard went through a background check. The Columbine deputy survived because he returned fire, causing the monster to retreat in search of more reliable defenseless prey. A scripted, option-limiting scenario from anti-gun ABC is hardly definitive, especially for those of us who have had to resort to DGUs. The reason more mass shooters haven't been stopped by citizens (and don't forget Jeanne Assam and Joel Myrick) is because the ones she cited were in "gun free zones" (except for the Giffords shooting, which was over before the armed citizen could respond -- it could easily have gone down differently). Citing rates, where a few incidents in lower population areas can be percentage-wise higher than lots of incidents in more populated areas, is a common deception tactic,  as the ludicrous implication that Chi-Town is safer than Alaska demonstrates. And yes, you can too carry at NRA conventions (except in venues like the upcoming Toby Keith concert), so she's either lazy or she's lying.

Does that about cover it?
