I don't get into this part of the forum much.  I should though.  Looked and didn't see this posted.  The problem is how do we get this out in front of people.  We can preach to the choir all day long, but that just saves the choir.

This fact is contrary to their agenda therefore it will never be reported on by a mainstream "news" outlet. They would rather fixate on so  called "assault rifles" and "gun show loopholes" and other liberal B.S. gun fallacies rather than report on something that lends credence to the statement that an armed society is a polite society.
Hi NSA! Can you see how many fingers I am holding up?

Actually, I saw this reported on NBC about a week ago.

Yes that may be so but did they treat it with the same scrutiny that they woud treat a gun crime with or give it multiple airings on multiple news casts like they would a gun crime?
