Breitbart ^ | July 3, 2015 | AWR Hawkins

Nearly 18 years ago, Susan Gonzalez heard a noise at her front door and began walking toward it just before the door was literally kicked off the hinges from the outside. Two masked men lunged into the house, opening fire on Gonzalez and her husband.

It happened at 12:40 a.m, and Gonzalez said, “I kind of knew I was dying, so I was making my peace with God.”

What bothers me is that people have to have some kind of negative experience to teach them what they should instinctively know, namely, that it’s a dangerous and unpredictable world.

All these ‘mothers demand action’ and other Nazi front groups are all being played like a grand piano by the NWO crowd.

The groups themselves aren’t being played. THEY are playing the naive membership that joins them.

Either they have 'normalcy bias' or a Bambi/Brother Bear overdose.

It is amazing what the media have done to people's perception of reality.

Liberals are self-centered people. It takes a personal negative experience to change their views on things. She probably still is liberal in the rest of her life.

Liberals are people stuck in perpetual adolescence. They never took the final step into independent adulthood. Teens are the most self centered people in existence. Every attribute you can describe a teenager with you can describe a liberal with.

Yep... before her experience SHE did not want a gun so she believed YOU should not have one either.
Now YOU can have one because SHE wants one.

Nothing will make an anti gun liberal renounce that liberal tenet faster than needing a gun for self defense and not having one. You cannot beat reality in the real world.

The government says we should give up our guns and put our lives in the hands of the police, as though they were infallible. Really?

The left advocates on behalf of people they don’t care about in order to attack those they hate.

In this case they are for gun control to protect children in order to attack the average citizen such that they are unable to defend themselves when they finally come after them with force.

That’s a very old story. What this is is the story of a couple of useful idiots that figured out too late they were duped.

Is there a way to read the item without going to Breitbart pop-up-land? Their ad coverage consumes the first two minutes of a visit tot heir site.

I wouldn't know. I use Firefox with Ad Block Plus.

When you post something from Breitbart you are forced to excerpt it. The FR website gives you no choice.

You do know that the police always arrive only 30 minutes after the home invaders have already shot you, don’t you?
(Even the policemen I know say that & arm themselves at home.)

Horse stolen.

Let’s put a lock on that barn door.

Next time how about thinking in this real world instead of the Utopian, whirling dervish of happy, happy pictures in your head like a 10 year old.
