Reply #62: The NRA Publishes Instances of It Every Month

[ThomWV]

And they are right. In some rare instances gun owners are successful in twarting crimes.

Some kid wakes into a liquor store with a knife to hold it up and clown behind the counter swings around a shotgun and blows the in-process felon away. It happens somewhere about once a week. Every time it happes the NRA publishs the account. The point is that it really does happen.

The point you sould be making is that although there is an occasional success there are many more failures. Kids finding guns and blowing playmates away would be justification enough to remove guns if you asked me - but then I don't thin police should have them either and that possession of a hand gun should be punishable by a non-negotiable 10 year sentence - for anyone, in civil uniform or not. I also think that for other than training purposes on a military reservation and guards at select sensitive facilities that even our military sould be disarmed while in CONUS. And before the asswipes start yelling you might notice that on any military base in this country almost no one roams around with a gun even today.
