When a gunman (who will remain unnamed in this column) stormed into a Colorado church earlier this week armed with three guns and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition, he was shot by an armed security guard, Jeanne Assam, ending the tragedy long before the gunman would have. Apparently, the anti-gun types in the media can’t quite come to terms with that:
Joe Scarborough: “One person with a gun can make a big difference.”
Mika Brzezinski: “Oh gosh. No no no no no no no no no no… You know, that is the most, um, inane statement I’ve ever heard.
It’s not “inane” Mika… it’s absolutely true, and those who are in charge of malls, schools, and anywhere people gather in mass should keep that in mind when designing security for those locations. When unarmed, helpless security guards run away with everyone else, gunmen have free reign and they kill lots of people. When confronted by a hero with a gun, they’re stopped dead in their diabolical tracks.
