It doesn’t matter where you are. It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy intent on bloody murder. In this case, the bad guy’s weapons of choice were a car and a machete. On a declared Palestinian “Day of Rage” in Jerusalem today, three were murdered by terrorists. In this case, after ramming pedestrians at a bus stop, the psychopath proceeded to hack away at his wounded victims until an armed passerby shot him to death. (unedited version after the jump) . . .
Anti-gun advocates here and even in places like Israel continue to argue that it’s more dangerous for a citizen to own a gun than not. Civilian disarmers say that it’s the job of authorities to respond when the worst happens. That the average Joe has no hope of countering an attacker and will probably only make a situation worse if it’s done with a firearm.
Tell that to the other people on that street in Jerusalem. Or that restaurant in Connecticut. Or that Waffle House in Charleston. All of which happened only this week. Make no mistake, this is why we carry.
