Way Up North

So, three armed invaders break into a home where they encounter two residents. In the resulting struggle one of the residents get s gun away from one of the home invaders and opens fire. The home invaders flee and one is wounded. The responding police then arrest the resident who defended himself for attempted murder and associated firearms charges. Maybe that's because he tried to nail 'em on the fly as they fled. Maybe it just a f****d up view of what is and isn't self-defense. Maybe it's just Canada. What I do know is I'm glad I'm down here south of their border were if three armed gits broke into my house I'd be allowed to defend myself.

When the bodyguards that follow...

...these gun control proponents around start carrying smart guns maybe, just maybe, I'll go for the rest of us being saddled with 'em. Ummm, frack that. I lied. They aren't reliable and won't be in the foreseeable future. Police and civilian gun owners need a firearm that works when it needs to. The gun control nut jobs can put their lives at risk if they choose. Me, I'll keep what I have.

“Smart guns” and SAGA. The Second Amendment fight drags on

Seriously?
