An interesting case, in that the wary home owner called the cops, who cleared the house. Only they didn’t. When the “homeless person” emerged from a closet, 76-year-old Leon Winder perforated him with lead. I’m sure there are those who would say that Winder didn’t have to shoot 37-year-old John Buck Fields. But they weren’t there. If they were there—these people who would disarm Americans for their own good—I wonder what would have happened. Thankfully – yes thankfully – we’ll never know.
I wonder how many of those b*tches have had abortions, that kill 3200 kids every day.
Here’s the thing – the lady holding the sign in that picture and all the people who empathize with her don’t give a damn about statistics. If we’re going to be fully honest here, I also empathize with her. I don’t blame the gun – I blame the asshole who hurts or kills children with one – but the anger and pain from victims and families is going to go somewhere.
When you try to counter that with statistics you just look like an insensitive ass.
How do we counter it?
Serious question – I’m not sure.
Ah, the thin end of the our soon-to-be-robot-overlord’s wedge shaped plan. Death to Tracking Point, learn to shoot and slugs are hell on robots.
NEVER, EVER (yes, I’m shouting) invite the police into your house.

FWIW, in recent years there have been almost 400 pool-related drownings of young children annually in the USA. Where are the calls to restrict swimming pools? Are not swimming pool drownings preventable?

Nice shooting
Why don’t pro-gun groups hold their own buybacks?
Fair prices paid for working, wanted guns. Top dollar for collectibles (maybe even have fundraiser auctions, a percentage going to a pro-gun group)
Scrap mental prices paid for non-working junk.
Then when the next gun-control buyback comes along, you have a good place to sell back all the scrape metal for “top price”.
it would be a win-win!
Go to the Japanese embassy and tell them you want to immigrate to Japan. They will just laugh and say, ” Japan is for Japanese.” Try it. Now am I to believe that an entire nation like Japan is racist? Some will say yes but they are low intellect imbeciles. The Japanese are among the most tollerant of all people, but, the nation of Japan realizes that immigration will ruin the country. You can come as a guest or as a conquering army….those are your alternatives, but either way you will not call yourself Japanese. They do not allow civilian ownership of firearms. I disagree with this but it’s their call. They have no 2nd amendment equivelant. They never had civilian ownership of guns traditionally due to Bushido. Infact, they despised using a gun but sure respected the right of self defense. Nor did Japan fight a god-aweful bloody revolution against a tyrannical and oppressive government. Great Britain is different in many ways….. They simply caved in when confronted with sugary liberalism 70 years ago and now they regret it. The streets are ruled by hoodlems. They incarcerate people for shooting a burglar standing in their living room. It’s called madness. But watch! Something is changing and I suspect the queen could go on television tonight and with one articulate sentence open the hearts of Englishman to what must be done at some point. It would open the doors of hell for others unfortunately but this is called cause and effect. It’s your island, just don’t ask Americans to send you the guns again to do it. You actually don’t need them. You still the moral upper hand……after all it’s your damn country. You are the indigenous people. Wake up before all is lost!!!
I’m sorry Marine 03 but you’re absolutely wrong about so many of the things you’ve written. Your rhetoric is extreme, what you’ve said reminds me in many ways of the likes of Anders Behring Breivik. Look up his “manifesto” online – I’m sure you’ll find a kindred spirit in him.
There is no right to bear loaded arms outside the home, unless the supreme court officially recognizes it.
These are laws for England, remember Scotland and Northern Ireland are different. You are allowed handguns in Northern Ireland.
Glad I escaped, I Like my AR15s and Glocks.

I live in NOVA. Most of my shooting is done at a local indoor range on Friday mornings, as I have alternating Fridays off. Shooting handguns is generally pretty easy unless the local cops or DHS/ICE unit is using the range for quals, then it gets kinda crowded, but the range has 15 lanes for handguns. And the beepers and crap the LEO set up give you a good timer for practicing your draw and target acquisition. You know, On the mark, three rounds, two in the chest one in the head, BEEEEP! So that can be fun. The rifle side has 15 lanes and you can shoot up to .308, I think, but the range is only 25yds. There a couple of 100yd outdoor ranges within driving distance and one 1,000yd range in W. Virginia thats not too far if you really want to shoot distance. I think I’ve got it pretty good when it comes to shooting around here.
Yes, the MDA portion was an unnecessary pre-Newtown anniversary detour in search of “balance.” And TTAG has never clashed with Shannon or her dozens of like-minded ladies in the streets. But whatever.
It was, on balance, as fair as can be expected from a big(ger) city daily.
Oh, and the online version now has its third title: What’s an Olivette man doing running pro-gun website?
Police state that the student brought a Biden-approved firearm into the school. Shooter has committed suicide. According to KMGH.
