13 Times in February Armed Citizens Intervened to Stop Crimes
The fundamental right to keep and bear arms is a vital tool safeguarding individual liberty.
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
Last month, we documented some extraordinary examples from January of armed citizens relying on their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves and others.
We pointed out that these were average, everyday Americans who were just going about their lives. They did not go looking for evil but were nonetheless prepared to deal with the evil that found them.
February has produced even more evidence that the fundamental right to keep and bear arms is not an anachronism that no longer deserves constitutional protection, but a vital tool safeguarding individual liberty.
Studies routinely indicate that every year, Americans use their firearms in defense of themselves or others between 500,000 and 2 million times. Very few of these defensive gun uses receive national publicity—if they receive publicity at all...

Jesse Watters used the clip from the Tennessee gun store incident on The Five today. Probably the only instance of this being reported on TV. Juan Williams got the vapors. :silly:

One time on some internet forum debating the subject of citizens with guns, I informed some liberals that average citizens use guns thousands of times annually for self defense.
And wouldn't you know, there were a number of liberals who could not wrap their tiny minds around the idea that average citizens could use guns to defend themselves or others.
A number simply refused to believe that could be possible.
That's how deep anti-gun propaganda has been ingrained in many people.
