Thanks for posting these. I like the idea of a place where we can post stories like these so we can reference them and also show how many of these actually exist

And further support from the FBI....

FBI Releases Pro-2nd Amendment Statement, States the Importance of Armed Citizens in America

There were 50 active shooter incidents in 2016 and 2017 combined, leaving many to question if America is, in fact, safer when armed.

However, a recent investigation by the FBI in April showed that, in numerous incidents involving active shooters, there were people who stopped them by use of a weapon.

"Armed and unarmed citizens engaged the shooter in 10 incidents. They safely and successfully ended the shootings in eight of those incidents," read the report. "Their selfless actions likely saved many lives.

You are probably right. But see I live behind enemy lines. I am a midwestern guy who ended up in Seattle and surrounded by people who lean left. To be honest I have a lot of friends who I consider to be smart, rational people and I am waiting for them to just have enough of the crap that goes on in this town. I think it is already starting to happen. Most are also able to engage in a rational discussion on things like guns and I have made an impact on more than a few with hard data and facts. Not nearly enough but some and they were more center left than hard left to begin with. It may be a fools errand but somebody has to be the spanner in the works.

Takem shootin. I work with a lot of libs in Saint Louis City.
We took a Managers Trip to the Gun Range one year instead of a Restaurant gettin drunk [my suggestion] and I will always remember the smile on their faces when they "flipped the switch" for the first time
and popped off 30rounds down range. PRICELESS.
One asked me about guns for home defense the next week and I set him up with a Mossberg 930. One more to "our" side.
They dont even blink anymore when I get boxes shipped to work that rattle and clink or have that crossed cannon logo.

If true then the Branch Dividians, Clive Bundy and the family at Ruby Ridge were all inocent victims of the Government. The government should not be armed.
