NRA Talking Points™ spewing gun fetishist holds home invaders at gunpoint

[sylvi]

EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - An Evansville man who held two home invasion suspects at gunpoint until police arrived shared his story with 14 News.
...
Matt was behind his bedroom door when out of nowhere, he says two men kicked in the front door of his Idlewild Drive home.

"I raced for the gun vault and had my gun in my hand in 5-seconds and then answered the door," says Matt.
...
Matt says the suspects were surprised and with no other options didn't move until police arrived. For two-long-minutes, Matt's pistol stayed locked on his targets loaded and at the ready.
...
Both suspects remain in the Vanderburgh County Jail charged with armed burglary and robbery with a firearm.

1. What? He didn't politely & rationally submit? Unbeliegeable.

[DrDan]

2. What? Gun in a vault and he still had time to retrieve it?

[gejohnston]

3. could be one of these

5. Anyone that owns a handgun should have that or something similar...

...in addition to a more tradional safe.

4. This story is bullshit- it doesn't mention him shooting a family member or innocent neighbor...

...he didn't spout anti-government rhetoric, and he said he was glad it ended peacefully on the linked video

Patently obvious plant...

<Sarcasm Mode switch to "OFF" position>

6. How many gun homicides took place the same day as this incident?

And how many gun "accidents"?

[sylvi]

7. Okay, I give up.

How many?

[rdharma]

8. Figure the number of firearms homicides per year and divide by 365.....

That will give you the approximate number.

[sylvi]

9. Oh, I thought this was a pop quiz or something

and you had a real-time figure for the day from your official Anti-Gunner Death Crow Counter.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

10. How many unreported DGUs?

[rdharma]

11. How many do you IMAGINE there were?

[gejohnston]

13. using the lowest estimate

about 219.

[rdharma]

12. DGUs like this one?

[bossy22]

14. anecdotal evidence much?

congrats, you have just proven the point that "shit happens everyday".

In everything you will find a few bad eggs, that is just a fact of life. My sister's friend's life was saved because she wasnt wearing a seatbelt when she ran off the road into a storm run off pond- does this prove that seatbelts don't save lives? hardly.

16. Reality vs. John Wayne movies

BTW - John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison, he got a deferment to keep out of WWII and he wore a hair piece!

[gejohnston]

17. and he liked yellow flower wall paper

There were some actual vets named Marion. I know of a Korean War veteran named Marion.

[friendly_iconoclast]

25. He really knew how to rock a pair of espadrilles, too:

[gejohnston]

15. so, how did it go at trial?

interesting it is from Faux news and posted on You Tube by the Mass Tea Party.

[rdharma]

19. How did it go at trial?

Who cares?

[gejohnston]

20. because trials tend to be where the truth comes out

and facts matter, unlike the media esp. Faux.

[rdharma]

22. Well, would you check into that for us, gejohnston?.........

........ And report back what you found out.

[gejohnston]

23. no.

I'll leave it to you.

[rdharma]

24. I guess you missed it. I don't care what happened.

But I see a divorce in the cards for those two!

[derby378]

18. And what relevance does that have to the OP?

In for a penny, in for a pound...

[rdharma]

21. I thought the OP was about "gun fetishists" eom

[ileus]

26. It's just stuff, nothing worth threatening someone over.

Probably scared the poor innocent criminals with his death spewer.

[Pholus]

27. False advertising.

I might have liked the story but the subject line lies -- no tirades at all.

Boring.

[sylvi]

28. Not in the story

but you have to understand - if you were to ask this guy why he felt he had a right to own a firearm, he would likely cite one or more reasons which at some point the NRA probably has cited. Therefore, he is a de facto spewer of NRA Talking Points™, probably a member of the John Birch Society, most certainly a fetishist and/or dependent on his firearm as a penile prosthesis, and while his gun may have saved him this time, statistics will eventually catch up with him when his pistol one day becomes self-aware, bursts free from its lock box and empties itself into his sleeping head. Or something.

At least that's what I hear from some quarters.

29. "NRA Talking Points™ spewing gun fetishist" in this house?

Face it: Every defensive gun use that crosses the wires anywhere, anytime gets played up in the gungeon as the savior of all mankind. The myriad crimes and tragedies like this one -- not so much.

So perhaps all those "names" you're so worried about sting because of a guilty conscience.

[Blue_Tires]

30. For the record, just because a gun owner properly defended his home

doesn't mean the NRA isn't a distorted, highly flawed, piece-of-shit political organization that has long since lost sight of their mission...

These two concepts are independent of one another...

[sylvi]

31. No one says they aren't

For the sarcasm impaired, the NRA Talking Points™, along with gun fetishist in the title is merely a play directed towards all those who label any defense of gun ownership as an "NRA talking point", and would almost certainly have directed the same towards the homeowner in this story had he voiced his reasons for keeping weapons, even after the fact of the above incident.
