There’s this website called Guns Save Lives that posts news from the firearms world, whether it’s general information about firearms and ammunition, or stories about firearms being used in self-defense.

The latter bit of that is what I’m posting about today: Guns Save Lives has been constantly updating a Google Map with incidents involving a firearm being used in defense of self or property, like home invasions, since 2011.

But, but, but. The ever affable shannon t watts said there has NEVER been an incident where a good guy/gal saved the day with a gun. She wouldn't lie to us would she? Don't worry shannon t watts. Nannie bloomers said your check is in the mail.

New York looks under-represented.

Apparently shannon t watts doesn’t need anybody protecting her with firearms.

Only martial artists should apply if she ever wants protection.

Then the scene in Indiana Jones movie with one guy waiving a big sword came to mind.

File under - Another under-reported (or suppressed with real effort) ‘news’.

Facts are pesky things. They always seem to get in the way of the Left.

Facts are apparently inadmissable in the court of public opinion. “Facts? We don’t need no steenkin’ facts.”

The Cato institute has a similar website.
