Because a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun. The media doesn’t like to report these kinds of stories.

?? I remember this on CNN, while relevent, there are so many gun deaths that one non-death can’t be a headline forever.

here’s a fun chart I just saw:

and one more…

I’m not saying ban anything… but there is room to improve.

but the important part of the first graph is that gun deaths haven’t really risen a whole lot from the beginning of the chart. A few peaks and valleys but nothing really significant. On the other hand, vehicle deaths are sharply down from the beginning. That doesn’t mean that guns are getting worse, it means that cars are getting safer.

Cars are getting a double bump in stats too because not only do they get safer each year but since 2007 total miles driven has been dropping because of the recession.

I would bet that a large portion of that is suicide by firearm.

I would feel more safe if public bathrooms all had armed guards. I mean you’re never more vulnerable than with your pants down, seated and taking a shit.

Israel would be pegged to the moon if this was suicide bombing deaths and the US would have Zero. So pick your poison.
