A person was walking into a Shell gas station Wednesday evening and was approached by an armed robber who had just gotten out of a vehicle. The suspect walked up to the victim, lifted his shirt to expose a gun, and demanded that the victim hand over his belongings.
The victim pulled out his handgun to defend himself and shot the robber one time in the face. It appears in the video that the victim’s gun was concealed in his front right-hand pocket. The suspect immediately fell to the ground and emergency personal showed up minutes later. |

Armed robbery is one of the most common forms of violent crime in the United States. This particular act is committed by a single or multiple criminal actors who utilize a weapon of some kind to intimidate the victim(s) into submission and compliance, thus offering up whatever property the criminal seeks to obtain. Armed robbery can happen almost anywhere and often takes place in parking lots, on city streets, in places of business, stores, and elsewhere. By its very nature, armed robbery proves a very violent and dangerous event as the very act of committing armed, aggravated assault against another person requires a violent criminal personality. |

A woman working alone at a Subway in Rockford fought off a would be robber and now is being suspended for it.
Araceli Sotelo is the worker that is being assaulted in the above video. Mystateline caught up with her and asked her about what happened. She described the incident. The attacker came into the store where she was the only worker and demanded Soto give him all the money she had. When Soto explained she did not have any money, the suspect grabbed her purse and that's when Soto began to defend herself.
Sotelo said that she was bigger than him and that fact led to the scene above where Sotelo eventually wound up with the suspects gun before bashing him in the head with the weapon.

Whenever a mass shooting occurs, for example, The Onion goes after the usual NRA/GOP rationalizations with the same headline: “No Way to Prevent this, Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens,” illuminating the absurdity of shock and hand-wringing taking precedence over a comprehensive effort to overhaul our societal relationship with firearms. What is also no longer surprising unfortunately, is tolerating nearly 40,000 gun deaths a year as though it’s a reasonable price to pay for preserving the sanctity of the mischaracterized Second Amendment. |

Attorney General William Tong today joined a coalition of 18 attorneys general, led by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, in filing an amicus brief supporting federal laws restricting the commercial sale of handguns to persons under the age of 21. In the brief, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, the coalition argues that such restrictions protect residents from the harmful effects of gun violence, as well as promote the safe use of firearms. |

A gun-rights group, the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, brought a federal lawsuit against the police chiefs of Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, and Waterbury for refusing to process applications for municipal gun permits, without which people cannot get state permits. The lawsuit details how applicants in the cities have been stalled for many months, even indefinitely.
The cities didn't deny their obstruction of this constitutional right. New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker essentially admitted it, noting the frequent gun crime in his city as if that nullifies a constitutional right. New Haven's acting police chief, Renee Dominguez, dishonestly blamed the stalling on the virus epidemic. |

Something’s missing here – and I believe it’s a healthy dose of common sense. Death by gunshot is not a pretty thing; it’s absolutely sickening. It makes little difference if the victim is a young child gunned down by a school-house shooter or a bank robber stopped in their tracks by an officer of the law. Both create a bloody mess and, most importantly, claim or maim a human life.
Traditionally, America has granted a license to use firearms against fellow humans exclusively to its law enforcement officers and members of the military. At that, there are rules and regulations that must be followed. Gun-slinging lawmen like Wyatt Earp are no longer tolerated by society. |

"A lot of products have come out that seem to focus on issues that don't really resonate with politically conservative investors," Flaig said. So he and ETF president Tom Carter built a fund for investors concerned about free speech, liberal media bias, Second Amendment rights, religious freedom and life. "Nothing like that existed or still exists, beyond my product."
Many investors are unaware of which companies they are supporting in their 401Ks, index mutual funds and other financial products, he said. "Once people become educated and they realize where their investment dollars are going, they don't like that. They're uncomfortable and they'd prefer an alternative." |

Less than half of Americans think the U.S. government is doing a “good job” protecting the liberties mentioned in the Constitution such as freedom of speech and the right to keep and bear arms, according to a recent poll.
In an Associated Press-NORC poll published Friday, 45% of respondents said the government is doing a “good job” at protecting freedom of speech, as outlined in the First Amendment. Additionally, just 35% said the government is doing a “good job” at protecting the right to keep and bear arms, as outlined in the Second Amendment.
The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,729 adults via interviews and was conducted between Aug. 12-16. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
