notmetoo 41 Posted December 21, 2012 Larry Correia writes some fun, exciting novels. The Monster Hunter, Grimnoir and Dead Six series are fast paced and witty. He also was a firearms instructor and can write some excellent non-fiction and opinion pieces. Here's his take on the anti-gun frenzy currently going on: http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/an-opinion-on-gun-control/ One of the best parts: " The single best way to respond to a mass shooter is with an immediate, violent response. The vast majority of the time, as soon as a mass shooter meets serious resistance, it bursts their fantasy world bubble. Then they kill themselves or surrender. This has happened over and over again." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greatgunstatenj 32 Posted December 22, 2012 Awesome article. Another gem "Criminals are looking for prey. They are looking for easy victims. If they wanted to work hard for a living they’d get a job" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njpilot 671 Posted December 22, 2012 I know a lot of people here don't like her, but can't argue with what she writes here: http://patriotpost.us/opinion/15975 "In addition to the Portland mall case, here are a few more examples excluded by the Mother Jones' methodology: -- Mayan Palace Theater, San Antonio, Texas, this week: Jesus Manuel Garcia shoots at a movie theater, a police car and bystanders from the nearby China Garden restaurant; as he enters the movie theater, guns blazing, an armed off-duty cop shoots Garcia four times, stopping the attack. Total dead: Zero. -- Winnemucca, Nev., 2008: Ernesto Villagomez opens fire in a crowded restaurant; concealed carry permit-holder shoots him dead. Total dead: Two. (I'm excluding the shooters' deaths in these examples.) -- Appalachian School of Law, 2002: Crazed immigrant shoots the dean and a professor, then begins shooting students; as he goes for more ammunition, two armed students point their guns at him, allowing a third to tackle him. Total dead: Three. -- Santee, Calif., 2001: Student begins shooting his classmates -- as well as the "trained campus supervisor"; an off-duty cop who happened to be bringing his daughter to school that day points his gun at the shooter, holding him until more police arrive. Total dead: Two. -- Pearl High School, Mississippi, 1997: After shooting several people at his high school, student heads for the junior high school; assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieves a .45 pistol from his car and points it at the gunman's head, ending the murder spree. Total dead: Two. -- Edinboro, Pa., 1998: A student shoots up a junior high school dance being held at a restaurant; restaurant owner pulls out his shotgun and stops the gunman. Total dead: One. By contrast, the shootings in gun-free zones invariably result in far higher casualty figures -- Sikh temple, Oak Creek, Wis. (six dead); Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. (32 dead); Columbine High School, Columbine, Colo. (12 dead); Amish school, Lancaster County, Pa. (five little girls killed); public school, Craighead County, Ark. (five killed, including four little girls). All these took place in gun-free zones, resulting in lots of people getting killed -- and thereby warranting inclusion in the Mother Jones study."

MarkWVU02 47 Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks for posting Andy. That was a great read. Wish a lot of the antis would take the time to read it. My favorite quote: "Nobody has ever survived a gunfight and then said afterwards, “Darn, I wish I hadn’t brought all that extra ammo.”" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
