Good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun... Would-be Waffle House robber dies after having been shot by customer http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20151010/PC16/151019902
Oh gee, good thing no one was robbed and a petty thief is now dead instead of clogging up the criminal justice system. What the hell is wrong with conservatives? Difficult births?
So an armed robber is a "petty thief" in your world? The armed robber is now dead instead of committing more armed robberies and potentially shooting to death one of his future victims.
Of all the things FC has said, "petty thief" for armed robber is one of the most asinine. He's desperate.
I stand corrected. Robber is the correct term. "Petty thief" was a reach. The essence of my statement stands. Gun nuts seem to think that robbery should be met with deadly force and can be carried out by citizens and that it justifies carrying guns around. Wrong. Taking someone's money does not justify murder as many gun nuts seem to think.
And in this case the armed robber, Joshua Jermaine Davis, has a lengthy criminal history with an affinity for armed robbery and home invasions. If possible, armed robbery should always be met with deadly force by citizens. It is the best way to clear the streets of violent criminals.
I don't understand how a human being can mentally devolve like you have. I really don't. A bad guy who presents a gun with the intent on robbing someone doesn't clearly define that he will not shoot someone regardless of whether they give money or not. There have been many, many cases where a bad guy with a gun has shot someone no matter what. So your ignorant, ridiculous argument that we shouldn't defend ourselves from a bad guy with a gun because he'll just go away if we give him our money is just that - jackassery. When criminals realize that engaging in violence will most likely result in violence engaged right back upon them, they are more apt to avoid engaging in the first place. Risk is the only language a criminal speaks. Whenever I hear someone make absurd comments like you do, FC, I know they've never been held up at gun point.
