When Seconds Count, Police Are Only Minutes Away

There was another mass shooting Wednesday. Nine people dead. The police took SIX MINUTES to get to that mall. And once they got there, what did they do? They did police stuff. Instead of going in with guns blazing, they set up a cordon. They escorted people out of the mall. They spent FIVE HOURS futzing around. And now the gun grabbers will be out in force. The loathsome Brady Campaign will use this as another fund-raising event. The liberal politicians will be demanding that the government take away our human rights to self-defense. That world renowned psychologist, Bill Clinton, once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results (he didn't even credit Ben Franklin for the quote). Every time there is gun violence, the liberals do the same thing -- pass more gun control -- despite the fact that there is no evidence gun laws have ever prevented a single murder. Nebraska is one of those rare states that has complete state preemption of firearms laws. But, several localities have passed and are enforcing laws that are illegal under the preemption statute. Typical of liberals. If you don't like the law, ignore it. I was in an up-scale mall today. When a mall is called a galleria, you know it's upscale. I had my Springfield XD-9 semi-automatic handgun under my black, leather Corvette jacket. Had something like that happened while I was there, while defenseless people were running away from the shots, I would have been running toward them. No drive-time to get to the mall, no setting up cordons, no escorting people out of the mall. I would have shot the offender, or he would have shot himself if I had challenged him (I'm not considering the third option). One way or another, I would have stopped him. And the liberals would still do the same thing -- and expect different results.
