Who says gun grabbers are all bad? “Investigators told Action 4 News two men burst into an apartment located on the 1400 block of West Carmen Street around 4:00 Saturday morning and demanded money.” That was in Edinburg, Texas, as reported by valleycentral.com. Somehow, the residents managed to snatch the gat from the home invaders and send them scurrying off into the night. But that must have been some gun. After handing the piece over the the local 5-0, “…the victims said the suspects came back and asked for their gun back—that is when the victims called police again.” At which point the cops chased the disarmed doods until they failed to negotiate a turn at high speed. Or something. Just an thought, but the victims might want to think about securing a gun of their very own.
The article didn’t say; does anyone know what the irreplaceable gun was?
Wonder how easily you could make the self defense case if you capped the perp with his own gun.
That would be true poetic justice.
In CA however, unlike South Carolina and many other “common sense” jurisdictions, you’d probably be charged for shooting an unarmed “victim” and then sued into poverty by the crook’s family.
That’s the price you pay for progressivism.
It would have been fun to see this fellow walk up to Chris Kyle (RIP) or Michael Monsoor (RIP) and explain to them that they were effeminate for using firearms.
Words… fail me.
Want the list of people who know more about anything relating to guns than Obama? Here’s the phone book.
The anti 2nd Amendment media is in full tilt, if you feel like fighting for your 2nd Amendment rights you need to confront these liberal tools like this leftist Isaac Bailey who is definitely in “a different world” than sane people by making this insane comparison that guns should be banned because knives are safer.

Saul you’re absolutely right about the plainly uninformed blind biases of the mainstream media.
For example: I used to like Scott Pelley with 60 Minutes and now CBS Nightly News. But either he has radically changed or he has been overpowered and co-opted by the influences of his collectively anti gun colleagues and management.
That’s a sad testament and outcome for one who was once a reasonably fair presenter and commentator of newsworthy events. Now Pelley just follows the Democrat party line. He only reluctantly offers slight acknowledgment of major legitimate opposition to the attempt to force subversively confiscatory and ineffective laws down the throats of millions of decent law abiding citizens.
That’s a great loss for truth in reporting.
Of all the news outlets out there, the huffington post is the most yellow of them all. They’re just trying to get ahead and rank up there with CNN, even if that means giving up completely all journalistic integrity.
“Yellow Journalism” = Chase headlines, do little to no research, don’t cite stats, or use non-credible stats, uptalk or downtalk the truth, all in an effort to bring in readership and popularity, which in turn generates more money. Because face it, the real truth is boring. You know like rape, stabbings, muggings, home invasion etc….
I stopped reading and watching the huffington post after they did a story on how a small town was getting surplus humvees. they spent 30 minutes talking about how they were getting this military equipment and we were becoming a police state etc….. But not a single one bothered to research at least the humvee wiki page. The humvee was never designed for combat, it was designed for behind the lines logistics. It wasn’t until later after missions like blackhawk down that they upgraded them with armor, which in turn with all the weight turn made them incredibly unreliable.
“…..He’s a Canadian travel writer. With a master’s degree in philosophy…….”
That can’t be true! A master’s degree in philosophy? Why his writing throws classical logic out the window. His thesis:
“…good guys with guns are not aware of an impending threat…”
Therefore, all good guys with guns get shot.
What an embarrassment!
