Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, has infamously said many times, “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” The shooting tragedy at the Waffle House in Nashville, Tenn., proves that LaPierre’s statement is wrong. Travis Reinking, the Nashville shooter, was stopped by a good guy without a gun! That good guy was hero James Shaw. How did he do it?
The assailant had to stop shooting to reload his AR-15. This left an opening for Mr. Shaw to wrestle and disarm Reinking before he could reload. The result: many lives were saved. This is why our lawmakers and the leadership of the NRA should support limitations on high-capacity magazines. |

As soon as I read "sensible gun laws" I know it would call for more restrictions on law abiding citizens.
Criminals by definition don't obey laws. Additional laws won't do anything to stop criminals, malcontents, and yes, even crazy people from obtaining guns.
Evil exists and nothing will ever stop it.
Stop trying to restrict my ability to defend myself from criminals and malcontents. |
