Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, has infamously said many times, “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” The shooting tragedy at the Waffle House in Nashville, Tenn., proves that LaPierre’s statement is wrong. Travis Reinking, the Nashville shooter, was stopped by a good guy without a gun! That good guy was hero James Shaw. How did he do it?
The assailant had to stop shooting to reload his AR-15. This left an opening for Mr. Shaw to wrestle and disarm Reinking before he could reload. The result: many lives were saved. This is why our lawmakers and the leadership of the NRA should support limitations on high-capacity magazines. |

As soon as I read "sensible gun laws" I know it would call for more restrictions on law abiding citizens.
Criminals by definition don't obey laws. Additional laws won't do anything to stop criminals, malcontents, and yes, even crazy people from obtaining guns.
Evil exists and nothing will ever stop it.
Stop trying to restrict my ability to defend myself from criminals and malcontents. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
