DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted January 4, 2013 Here is a self-defense oriented response to the argument of "Why do you need need more than 10 rounds in a magazine?": A police report on a case in Florida that ocurred on 9/25/09 - A suspect killed 2 police officers then went on to lead a high speed chase for 15 miles before getting pushed off the road by police and rolling his vehicle. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He *DID NOT* die from the SIXTEEN (16) other gunshot wounds (14 entry wounds, 2 grazes) he received from responding officers: http://video.onset.f...teddeputies.pdf The autopsy revealed fifteen gunshot entry wounds to Cartwright’s body. .... [detailed list of all fifteen entry wounds and 2 grazes] ... Based on the preliminary autopsy results, supported by FDLE investigation information, Dr. Minyard concluded that the cause of death was a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. It can take multiple rounds to stop an assailant! This guy absorbed 14 gunshot entry wounds and still had enough capacity left to commit suicide.

CMJeepster 2,778 Posted January 10, 2013 Not sure if this is the right place, but... http://news.yahoo.com/mom-shot-intruder-inspires-gun-control-foes-003753089.html LOGANVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia mother who shot an intruder at her home has become a small part of the roaring gun control debate, with some firearms enthusiasts touting her as a textbook example of responsible gun ownership. Melinda Herman grabbed a handgun and hid in a crawl space with her two children when a man broke in last week and approached the family at their home northeast of Atlanta, police said. Herman called her husband on the phone, and with him reminding her of the lessons she recently learned at a shooting range, Herman opened fire, seriously wounding the burglary suspect. The National Rifle Association tweeted a link to a news story about the shooting, and support poured in from others online, hailing Herman as a hero. The local sheriff said he was proud of the way she handled the situation. "This lady decided that she wasn't going to be a victim, and I think everyone else looks at this and hopes they have the courage to do what she done," Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman said Wednesday. Herman was working from home Friday when she saw a man walk up to the front door. She told police he rang the doorbell twice and then over and over again. He went back to his SUV, got something out and walked back toward the house, a police report said. Herman took her 9-year-old son and daughter into an upstairs bedroom and locked the door. They went into bathroom and she locked that door, too. She got her handgun from a safe, the report said, and hid with her children. At some point, she called her husband, who kept her on the line and called 911 on another line. In a 10-minute 911 recording released by the Walton County Sheriff's Office, Donnie Herman calmly explained what was happening to a dispatcher. His part of the conversation with his wife was also recorded. "Is he in the house, Melinda? Are you sure? How do you know? You can hear him in the house?" Donnie Herman said. His wife told him the intruder was coming closer. "He's in the bedroom? Shh, shh, relax. Just remember everything that I showed you, everything that I taught you, all right?" Donnie Herman told his wife, explaining later to the dispatcher that he had recently taken her to a gun range. It wasn't clear from the recording exactly when they went to range and Donnie Herman told The Associated Press on Wednesday the family didn't want to talk about the shooting. After Donnie Herman told his wife police were on the way, he started shouting: "She shot him. She's shootin' him. She's shootin' him. She's shootin' him. She's shootin' him." "OK," the dispatcher responded. "Shoot him again! Shoot him!" Donnie Herman yelled. He told the dispatcher he heard a lot of screaming, but he seems to get increasingly worried when he doesn't hear anything from his wife. Melinda Herman told police she started shooting the man when he opened the door to the crawl space. The man pleaded with her to stop, but she kept firing until she had emptied her rounds, she told police. She then fled to a neighbor's house with her children. The man drove away in his SUV. Police found the SUV on another subdivision street and discovered a man bleeding from his face and body in a nearby wooded area. Police identified the suspect as 32-year-old Paul Slater of Atlanta. Chapman said the hospital asked him not to comment on Slater's condition, but he said he is not certain Slater will survive. Authorities have a warrant but haven't formally arrested Slater yet. They plan to charge him with burglary, possession of tools for the commission of a crime and aggravated assault, Walton County sheriff's Capt. Greg Hall said. A phone number for Slater was not listed and it was not clear whether he has an attorney. Authorities believe Slater targeted a home in another local subdivision but left when confronted by the homeowner, Chapman said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted January 16, 2013 Former Washington D.C. prosecutor disputes effectiveness of gun bans: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324081704578235460300469292.html?mod=WSJ_hps_sections_opinion ...As a former prosecutor in Washington, D.C., who enforced firearms and ammunition cases while a severe local gun ban was still in effect, I am skeptical of the benefits that many imagine will result from additional gun-control efforts. I dislike guns, but I believe that a nationwide firearms crackdown would place an undue burden on law enforcement and endanger civil liberties while potentially increasing crime. The D.C. gun ban, enacted in 1976, prohibited anyone other than law-enforcement officers from carrying a firearm in the city. Residents were even barred from keeping guns in their homes for self-defense. Some in Washington who owned firearms before the ban were allowed to keep them as long as the weapons were disassembled or trigger-locked at all times. According to the law, trigger locks could not be removed for self-defense even if the owner was being robbed at gunpoint. The only way anyone could legally possess a firearm in the District without a trigger lock was to obtain written permission from the D.C. police. The granting of such permission was rare. The gun ban had an unintended effect: It emboldened criminals because they knew that law-abiding District residents were unarmed and powerless to defend themselves. Violent crime increased after the law was enacted, with homicides rising to 369 in 1988, from 188 in 1976 when the ban started. By 1993, annual homicides had reached 454. ...

SgtToadette 59 Posted January 29, 2013 To be fair, it's not helpful when Mr. Morgan is allowed to use the same stats over and over and nobody actually addresses him. That's why Shapiro's interview went so well. The problem with talking heads is that they're there to push talking points, not debate. It's a shame, too, because gun-control is one of the easier political points to debate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
