Democrats would have preferred that they blow a whistle, pee on themselves, and just let The Authorities apprehend the perps later
(Daily Caller) A North Carolina man exchanged fire with three home invaders after they tried to rob his house and rape his granddaughter,reports the Fayetteville Observer.
At his Lumberton home on Monday, Kenneth Byrd, 67, was approached by an individual claiming to have car problems. When Byrd invited the man into his home, he was rushed by two additional assailants wearing black clothes and ski masks.
The home invaders — all three brandishing handguns — corralled Byrd, his wife Judy and their 19-year-old granddaughter and demanded money and other valuables from the family safe.
Byrd initially complied with their demands, but when the men began to beat Judy and attempted to rape his granddaughter, he grabbed a hidden firearm and let loose a flurry of shots at the assailants.
Super-grandpa managed to hit all three. Brandon Carver Stephens, 28, and Jamar Hawkins, 17 went to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and the hospital called the police. Jamie Faison, 20 was found dead of in a stolen Cadillac at his home residence. Yes, grandpa hit him, too.
According to Liberal Theory, law abiding citizens should not be armed: only law enforcement should be armed. Let’s not forget how hard Liberals have pushed to disarm law abiding citizens, leaving them at the mercy of criminals who, by rule, do not care about the law.
Teach you are creating a straw man argument when you claim to be an expert on liberal theory
You are not an expert on liberal theory
Out of the 10000 + homivides commited each year with guns less than 500 are justifiable
Please nite the two numbers Whichnis larger and which is smaller ?
@John,
Many more than 500 are justified. How many armed criminals are out there as opposed to armed citizens? I own a firearm and I guarantee that anyone breaking into my home will leave in a body bag. Your liberal delusion flies in the face of reality.

According to the FBI, in 2010 there were 230 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen with a firearm. That same year 8,275 homicides were committed with firearms. 19,392 Americans died by suicide with firearms. 606 were killed accidentally with firearms.
(Rule of thumb – US gun deaths, about 30,000/year; 20,000 suicide, 9,000 homicide, 1000 accidental and other).
Year after year, our well-regulated right-wing militia kills many more innocent Americans than they save. In fact, while cleaning their guns, they kill more innocents (606) than they save (230).
So please, 2nd Amendment fetishists and ammosexuals, don’t sugarcoat the data or lie about the evidence. Our gun policies hurt more than they help.
That said, our Constitution and our Supreme Court rulings are very clear. This is our distinctly American brand of insanity – and one we must live and die with.
sfcmac,
I too have guns in my house – over a dozen rifles and shotguns and a sweet old Colt revolver.
But the statistics show you are about 3 times more likely to accidently kill a loved one or friend than you are to kill an intruder. Think about this stat – 300,000,000 guns and 230 self-defense killings a year – a use rate of 0.000008%.
In the last few days policemen carrying guns, trained in their use, and vigilant against threats were attacked by a hatchet wielding crazy guy (in NY) and a gunman and gunwoman in California.
Jeff,
Our guns policies do hurt as they restrict people from carrying. It is proven that more guns mean less crime.
Look. A member of our well-regulated militia got drunk and shot and killed a baby yesterday.
