"A Good Guy With A Gun Has Never Stopped A Bad Guy With A Gun"

[idiom]

Bad Guys with guns are only stopped by good guns with guns.

A good guy without a gun has never stopped a bad guy with a gun.

It's a statement made by someone under blind faith, not of fact.

I buy that they actually believe that statement.
I think they honestly think that.

It's what they want to be the truth. They remove any doubt in their head, and brainwash themselves. You could show them the facts to their face, it doesn't matter. The only thing that will make them believe otherwise, is to personally see someone stop a violent criminal themselves. Even then some won't let go of what they want to think.

Their belief in gun control crowds out reality, and with that center to their worldview, they mentally push the requirements for proving wrong their adopted thinking, into this logic free realm of irrational hyper-skepticism.

You know people talk about religious folk being stubborn over stuff that can't be easily and with absolute certainty, proven by science, but I'll tell you I've never seen anyone as stubborn and certain as a marxist communist, a gun control advocate, or a person who's decided on a presidential primary candidate. You could show them everything there is to offer on why they're wrong and they will go on to with their faith, because it's what they want to believe.

So perhaps if presumed true, the better question to follow-up with then is why is such the case? Why are bad guys let to run around with guns, while the good guys—excluding law enforcement personnel—are left without guns? Is this attributed to the misguided efforts of close-minded, misconceived, non-insightful, sophomoric, idiots and morons?

Regardless, the question should not whether or not it has happened, but whether or not such a scenario plausible; which of course it is.

Chalk another one up on the scoreboard: http://www.yourcentralvalley.com/story/d/story/robbery/37544/QYol8e0JSU2jJyeFLtvZXQ (funny video included, one idiot attempts a failed counter-hop.)

One man pulls out a handgun, points it at the victim and demands money. That's when the owner hears the commotion, and comes out from the back with a shotgun. Both suspects then run away.

80-year-old man says he shot, killed pregnant woman trying to rob him

An 80-year-old man told NBC Channel 4 Wednesday that he shot and killed a pregnant woman who tried to rob him at his Long Beach home.

"She says, 'Don't shoot me, I'm pregnant -- I'm going to have a baby,'" the man, who was identified as Tom Greer, told the TV station.

He said he fired two rounds and that a man who was with her fled the scene. "I shot her twice. She best be dead," Greer said.

DARBY, Pa. (AP) - A doctor grazed by gunfire from a patient who had entered his office in a suburban hospital's psychiatric unit stopped him by returning fire with his own gun and injuring him, authorities said.

Investigators believe the doctor had his own gun and acted in self-defense, District Attorney Jack Whelan said.

2 killed in Fresno County home invasion, shootout, kidnapping and chase

A girl is safe and so is her family after the sheriff says several suspects kicked in their front door and started shooting. Two suspects were killed when the victims fired back. . . .

Shaken up but safe -- that's how three home invasion victims say they felt as they walked away from the Fresno County home where a deadly gun battle began before dawn. . . .

"Two are dead, two are in custody and three are outstanding. All were armed," said Mims.

Shrug. Cops are trained professionals who shoot regularly. Most people with guns shoot once, maybe twice a year, if that.

Having a gun is great and all, but ultimately the cops are usually the guys who save the day. Most people just aren't willing to risk their lives in the dangerous situations that cops often put themselves in.

There is in-fact so much wrong within this statement that I can't even begin to formulate an appropriate response. ...That is a first for me.

I think you're all missing the point. Those people owned guns, therefore they are not "good guys."

Duh.

LOL, it's sad, but you are right... that's how some people think.

Liberal logic sometimes escapes me.

Unfortunately, it's not just liberal logic. Many members of this forum use that exact same "logic" when they say "all cops are bad" or "there is no such thing as a good cop". Here is just one example:

You don't get it. Every cop is bad by definition. There can be no good cops because they are bad by virtue of being cops. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are. If you want to be a good cop, don't be a cop. Just like if you want to be a good murderer, don't murder. Good cop is an oxymoron...

The reality is, the masses have been conditioned (via media) to believe the above; that cops are here to protect them. And so most of them don't take measures to protect themselves. After the 2005 Supreme Court Ruling that declared that the police are not constitutionally bound to protect citizens, it's apparent to me that all they're here for is to enforce laws. And you won't hear that truth from the media.

Is there an example in school shootings or a mall shooting or these public facilities, where that has been wrong?

Which states don't have schools as gun free zones?
