The mass shooting on June 28 in Annapolis, Maryland, has renewed familiar concerns about America's gun culture and gun policies.
Yet this was not the only June shooting to make national headlines.
Fox News and The Washington Post reported an earlier story involving the quick-thinking actions of a church leader who also happened to be a trained emergency responder.
Spotting an armed carjacker exiting a Walmart Supercenter, in Oakville, Washington, the gun-owning pastor took pursuit — then shot and killed the man in the parking lot.
Compared to the Annapolis shooting, the Walmart incident offers a far more convenient narrative for gun-rights activists. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
