real stories of self defence..

In light of the recent phony story here of a case of shooting in self defense I thought I might link to this site.

There are over a thousand stories (all printed in local newspapers) of citizens using firearms to save theirs or others lives or property.

Most of these people would have been killed or maimed if they had not had a firearm.

There are also some good gun quotes from the site.   You won't see these on the nightly news or the major newspapers very often..  They happen every day but the liberal media ignores them.

Apparently when the boyfriend answered the door,two armed intruders forced their way in.They were attacking him and he screamed for help from his girlfriend who was in the bedroom,as was their 9mm.

She retrieved the gun,came out and nailed both of them.

Well done.

Edit:Added second story with more info.

redbottom....  don't know.

another quote from your hero tho...

"Every Communist must grasp the truth, 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.' Our principle is that the [Communist] Party commands the gun and the gun will never be allowed to command the Party." Mao Tse-tung, "Problems of War and Strategy," November 6, 1938, in Selected Works of Mao Zedong (1965)

Maybe it is just me but this seems like these stories of self defence would be extremely newsworthy.... much more so than the silly crap that they spend hours on.   It is hard to not notice the medias agenda here when a pit bull attack that injures someone will get 3 days coverage but a self defense shooting doesn't even make news unless someone involved is famous.

Well of course the main stream media will not report a story about someone actually using a firearm to save their own or someone elses life from an attacker. Stories like that only prove one thing....guns are not evil in and of themselves and the media doesn't want the uneducated public to understand that.

Now have a story where someone uses a gun in a crime and they are all over it because they can spin it to show just how evil guns are. The bias of the media is so strong now that I don't even watch the news anymore because there are no facts being reported, and if there are facts involved it's only the ones that show one side of a story.

Objective reporting in this country, and around the world for that matter, has disappeared. Sex, corruption, violence, and death sell and that's all the media cares to report on anymore. If it's not negative it's not news worthy.

If you were to take a look at lets say 100 news stories, how many of those stories would be about a subject that was a "feel good" story? You know a report where someone did something nice for someone else. Maybe 10 out of a 100...if your lucky.

As far as personal defense goes.....I have used one of my personal firearms on 3 seperate occasions to prevent theft of my property. Never had to fire a shot, but my stuff wasn't ripped off either. My 12 gage has paid for itself many times over.

Happens all the time and I read it in the papers SOMETIMES. Its not the liberal media:) Its the conservative media that isnt printing it:)

[lazs2]

Silat... I beleive that it has been proven that the new media is heavily biased toward the liberal especialy the televised news.    conservative papers have been proven to publish more self defence stories than liberal ones.

Lotts book on bias in the media is the best one out there and well documented if you are interested.

You will also notice that the liberal democrats are the ones pushing for the anti second amendment laws and destroying our second amendment rights.   even a cursory look at the voting records on gun laws in congress will prove my point.

you really don't have a leg to stand on here if you wish to defend your liberal heroes

Lazs just as many books saying that the so called lib media is a rightwing talking point. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20030224/alterman2
Check out who owns the media. Its conservative corporations.
And we will continue to disagree.
Calling me a lib/dem/whatever isnt an insult.
There are plenty of lib/dem/whatever heroes in American history.
There are just as many lib/dem/whatever as cons who have and are serving this country.
There are many great things done by lib/dem/whatever that have made this country great.
And last time I looked at the anti gun groups they were comprised of an assortment of political parties.
I dont know any mainstream dem in power who is trying to take your guns.

- because our criminals are armed?

[Maverick]

If they have access to rocks, sticks, knives, pipes or anything else, they are armed. Even if they don't have a weapon, a healthy criminal vs a weak infirm victim (the type these predators LIKE and look for) they are still a great threat to the life of the crime victim.

I'm at my parents for the holidays, and my dad just showed me this clip the other day.  It is a woman from the public giving testimony during the hearings for the Assault Weapon Ban back in the 90's.  It expertly illustrates the reason of why we need the 2nd Amendment.

enjoy even though it is very sad.

I wish I could have walked up behind the guy leaning in his chair with his smug look resting his head on his hand and kicked his chair out from under him when old girl said the 2nd ammendment was for us to protect ourselves from people like him.


I kinda wish also  that clip was ran whenever possible to the general masses. She spoke her mind well.

[VermGhost]

Yes it was very succinct and clear.  I hear a lot of stories from my father and grandfather about how in the last 20-30 years people in society, or just society has gone from accepting the responbility of individual actions to blaming the responsibility on someone else.  Then this idea gets transferred into state legislatures that make our laws.
