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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
