The Tale of Two Crimes

In the past week we have seen two different crimes with dramatically different outcomes.  The first occurred in Florida at an internet-bar where TWO masked men came in with one brandishing a gun and the other a baseball bat.  The two came in smashing computer screens and demanding the people there to hand over their money.  But the robbery was cut short when a 71 year-old man with a Concealed-Weapon-Permit took out his gun and shot the would-be robber holding gun.   He then chased the two suspects out and managed to hit both of them.These two hoodlums were later apprehended at a local hospital when they sought medical attention for their gun wounds.  The man was called a "hero" but he said he was just protecting his wife who was with him at the time.

The second case happened last night when a 24 year-old wearing a gas mask entered a movie theater and began to shoot at the crowd.  Over 12 are dead and many more injured.  Sadly, no one was in the crowd at the time with a CWP to take down this lunatic and so he was free to rampage until he ran out of bullets because it took several minutes before the police could respond.

Yet, knowing the media and our President, they will paint this story as a reason for MORE gun control.  "How did he get those guns?  Why wasn't there a 90 day waiting period instead of a mere 10 day waiting period?  Why do we need hand guns and rifles anyway?  .... and on  and on and on...".   Obama, who never likes to waste a good crisis will most likely make use of this  to his advantage. Our only hope is that because this is an election year he will lay low on the gun-control-parade.

I believe that rather than restricting guns we need to arm more of our citizens so that when things like this happen, WE THE PEOPLE can prevent such madmen from harming anymore than they are allowed.

ON A SIDE NOTE:
The media took no time in trying to connect this madman with the Tea Party.  They checked the local Tea Party registry and found a Jim Holmes listed, but later had to retract it as it was not the same person.  Great reporting ABC!  You show how unprofessional you all are every day we get closer to the election.
