If you listen to serious news sources you would have heard about that old news several days ago.
But you are probably correct so much as CNN will never report about it. Oh, wait, it did. http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/01/us/new-mexico-motel-shooting/

I would imagine it would be 3 pages here on the café if that were the case and still going strong. By the way if you knew about it why didn't you post anything about it? Oh wait I think I know...never mind.

You think you know, do you? To paraphrase Ygritte from Game of Thrones, 'You know nothing, acesover'. (joke)
Why didn't I post about it? Mainly because it wasn't much of a news story. Criminal gets shot, big whoop. IIRC, in the firearms thread someone said 250,000 people use guns in self defense every year in the states. That's over 600 a day. Apparently this was a legal shooting, no controversy. So what makes this story worth singling out?

That is the same logic found in the old joke: "I just perfected a magic spell that keeps lions off the streets." "This is New York City, there are no lions, except in the zoo." "See? It's working!" Or how about this logic- I have a gun in my home and I've never been robbed. I saw a shiny penny on the ground today and I didn't pick it up. Five minutes later I lost my house key! Post hoc ergo propter hoc Magical thinking at its finest. |

Ask Slim. He apparently knows all about those crimes that never happened. But actually, dead criminals have a higher correlation to other criminals and law enforcement officers than they do to "good guys with guns."
I'd love to see a citation to support Slim's allegation that over 600 crimes are prevented daily by legal gun owners. Fun Fact! Did you know that the last time the NRA supported restrictions on the ownership of so-called assault rifles was when the Black Panther Party encouraged black people to exercise their right under the second amendment to carry them openly? |

I just hope the individual that was shot and killed is not an Afro American. We do not need any more peaceful demonstrations. If so they will prosecute the couple take their guns and have demonstrations burn a few cars and steal some TV's. Please don't call me racist. I am just stating a few facts. Watch and see what happens.
OK Bob you have to post something.

While brandishing in of itself is a crime not so if in self defense. Of course than it is not called brandishing. Also I do not believe that many people will call the police and say I took my gun out and pointed it at a criminal. Almost a sure way to get arrested and have your weapon impounded for a time. So most such situations go unreported.
