Too Bad 73 Year Old Had A Gun...the Two Violent Criminals Could Have Been Hurt...

[2aguy]

So here again...another gun grabber argument is wrong...another law abiding citizen, surprised and shot at does not panic, but goes on to use a gun to defeat two violent criminals who initiate the break in by shooting at the 73 year old man...

Gosh Darn...why did the 73 year old man have to have that gun...it just made things worse...I mean...after the violent, thug, criminals shot at him, his getting the gun only made the situation worse...right? It would have been much better if he had quietly submitted to them...sure, they actually shot at him at the start of the break in and probably would have killed him...but hey, we don't know that for sure...and besides...he's 73...he's old...it would be better for our healthcare system to reduce the costs by one guy...right?

Senior Citizen Pulls A Gran Torino On Two Hapless Home Invaders - Bearing Arms

If gun control cultists had their way, a 73-year-old Las Vegas man would likely be dead after armed robbers force their way into his home and fired a shot at him.

Unfortunately for the gun control lobby and the criminals, however, the unflappable senior ignored the shot fired by the teen-aged home invaders and pulled a Walt Kowalski:

The man went to get his gun and when the teens realized it, they ran from the home, firing rounds in the air, Candelas said. They fled in a silver or gray sedan.

Don’t mess with old guys. They don’t scare easy, and they’re a lot tougher than they look.

Wow, another pro gun point made...he got his gun...and the attackers ran away...he never fired a shot...didn't injure or kill anyone...and so this will not be reported in the statistics that measure violent gun crimes stopped by someone with a gun...

Which happens 2.5 million times a year...

8-10,000 gun murders a year...vs...2.5 million crimes stopped and lives saved a year...

Accidental gun deaths...650-700 per year...about 100 of those tragedies are children...vs...2.5 million lives saved and crimes stopped using guns...
