"This story would have read very different[ly] with a few obituaries and some shiny personalized bracelets for the rest. Sharing is caring.""And this is why I stay strapped," another user noted."And you wonder why I need a 30-round magazine?" another commenter offered."That's why we carry our guns and MUST use them at times like this ... stopping threats, teaching lessons to filthy criminals, [deterring] crime, and protecting ourselves," another user said. "It's time We The People make it like the good [old] days.""That’s when you draw your pistol and tell them about the lack of wisdom in bringing a knife to a gunfight," another commenter stated.Like Blaze News?
