Who is the Armed Citizen? (NRA Cover Story Written by Freeper)
America's First Freedom ^ | November 2009 | David Burnett

Jacksie King was an elderly grandmother who lived in a small Illinois house on dead-end Gaty Avenue since her youth. At 87, she mostly stayed at home and enjoyed frequent visits from her daughter.
Her life changed one December night when an unidentified intruder cut her phone lines, pried the security bars off her window and invaded her home. After severely beating her, the man robbed her house and escaped. The case was never solved.
Two months later, King awoke to the sound of an intruder breaking through her storm door at 2 a.m. As before, the bars were pried off her window to access an enclosed porch, and again the phone lines were cut. King reached for her only remaining lifeline—a .38-cal. Colt revolver her daughter had given her for protection.
This time the would-be victim fired, striking 49-year-old Larry Tillman in the chest, immediately dropping him on the doorstep. Terrified, King stayed in her chair for four hours, clutching her revolver, until her daughter arrived. Police later learned Tillman was a career criminal with an extensive record, including residential robbery.
Readers of this magazine are accustomed to reading emotionally gripping stories like this in the "Armed Citizen" column. The fact that keeping and bearing arms actually works is a point of pride for patriots and gun owners everywhere.
Unfortunately, anti-gun groups and their conspiring cohorts in the media would have you think otherwise. Sure, they'll report the occasional incident when a person is injured in an accidental shooting. And stories of firearms misuse by criminals are sure to lead nearly every newscast and take many top headlines.
Yet, despite what critics and the media would have you and other Americans think, successful defensive gun usage is far more common than even those on our side of the debate tend to understand. Successful defensive use of firearms in the United States actually occurs literally thousands of times a day.
The Right, the Need Researchers, both public and private, have estimated total defensive gun uses at between 800,000 and 2.5 million times per year. To many, that's a difficult reality to accept since we don't hear the hundreds of armed citizen stories that should be reported daily
Of course the minute the TRUTH comes out, here comes a lemming RW LIAR to, well...lie.
So guns are made for the SPECIFIC purpose of killing ANIMALS now?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Question: Your argument about criminals and deterrence doesn't tell the whole story. Don't statistics show that most people are killed by someone they know?
Lott: You are referring to the often-cited statistic that 58 percent of murder victims are killed by either relatives or acquaintances. However, what most people don't understand is that this "acquaintance murder" number also includes gang members killing other gang members, drug buyers killing drug pushers, cabdrivers killed by customers they picked up for the first time, prostitutes and their clients, and so on. "Acquaintance" covers a wide range of relationships. The vast majority of murders are not committed by previously law-abiding citizens. Ninety percent of adult murderers have had criminal records as adults.

Sarah needed a lot of help to bring down that deer on her tv special. Didn't look to knowledgeable to me.I like Sarah Palin's take on guns, we need a President that knows guns, not someone like Obama who is the opposite, knows nothing of guns. How can Obama rule a country when he does not understand a thing about guns and the people.
Anyhow. Its a shame people talk bad about guns, it scares the women, women get raped, ever here the story on women protecting themselves with guns, not at all, they exist.
Last thing we need is women to believe its better not to protect themselves from men who are rapists.
Rape can be said to be the result of the hateful rhetoric against guns. My next post here will be news stories showing woman stopping rape with guns.
Little fact, Guns stop more criminals than the police. Armed citizens, that is with guns, stop more crime than the police. Its a fact, everywhere you look the result is the same. Guns stop crime.
I still like the story of Rosa Parks, in her eighties, no gun, she gets robbed and beaten in Detroit, in Liberal Democratic Detroit the woman who was an inspiration, the woman who refused to sit in the back of the bus was attacked by an African American. I wish Rosa Parks had a gun.
Only in the USA would the Liberals disarm Rosa Parks, figuratively speaking, of course.
GUNS DONT KILL
People with guns do.
Guns do kill people.
When was the last time you heard of someone throwing a fist at someone and killing them?
Too many people are killed with guns. Mass killings are most always done with guns. When was the last time you heard of a robbery without a gun? People with guns commit crimes far more often then people who do not have guns.
In homes were there are gun, often children are killed. Most accidents in homes, a gun is involved.
In countries where guns are illegal the crime rate is lower than here.
Excuse me Mr. Gunnist.
Did the gun that the RW Assassin use to blow Congresswoman Gifford's brains out marketed as a varmint killer or no?
Guns are made for the SPECIFIC purpose of killing people...very efficiently.
However, if you let them tell it, these GD RW nutjob pretenders will spout and spew nonsensical rhetoric that "guns, don't kill people."
Stupid CON$!
You're welcome to move out of our country if you don't like our Constitution. Plenty of countries that "ban" guns out there.

I worked a case a few years ago where there was a property dispute. After many arguments one man took a Toro weed eater with an adapted chain on it and tore up another man with that weed eater. The man died a few days later.
Now we all know that there should be a licensing board in Georgia to determine who is qualified to own and run a weed eater and who isn't. And we all know that there needs to be a cooling off period when property owners have land disputes. Why there isn't a 3 day waiting period to buy weed eaters in Georgia is beyond me.
Driveway weeds can wait 3 days to be cut. Someone needs to pass a Federal law on weed eaters.
