Give them what they want, or what they deserve?

By Jim Irvine
One of the common cries of the anti-gun crowd is that you should simply give a criminal what he wants, because if you draw a gun, you will “escalate the violence.” Last week, during an armed robbery, a clerk followed those instructions perfectly – right to his death.

The Houston Chronicle outlines the death of another victim who followed deadly advice. According to Chief Deputy Craig Brady of the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office:

    "There was absolutely no justification for injuring the individual. The employee was cooperating fully. He gave him everything he asked for. It is obvious on the tape he offered no resistance and he was just executed basically."

This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Cincinnati has had several similar shootings recently.

Another popular saying by those claiming to protect us from ourselves is, “If it saves just one life…” Ironically, no one ever forces them to explain their position when it costs one life. Or 10, or 100, or 1,000 or 10,000 or even 100,000 lives.

President Bush Signs NRA-backed “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection” Measure

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, October 09, 2006

Fairfax, VA- President George W. Bush signed into law the prohibition of confiscation of legal firearms from law-abiding citizens during states of emergency. This action became necessary following practices by local officials in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. This new law was part of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill.

“I want to thank President George W. Bush for signing this vital measure into law,” declared Chris W. Cox. “The chaos and civil disorder our country witnessed in New Orleans after the city abolished the Second Amendment confirmed every law-abiding gun owner’s worst fear - that pervasive gun confiscations can happen right here in America. As promised, NRA set out to pass legislation at both the federal and state levels to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens.”
