Yet Another Gun Outrage in USA

[pablo]

No offence to anyone but I think the average voter in most countries are too stupid to be allowed to vote, democracy is a nice idea, but a poor design to get good results out of a society.

...as is recently evidenced by the reelection of O'bumma, in America.

i think the voting in of George W Bush for a second time illustrated to the world the intellect of the average voter in the US, to the great pondering of the rest of the world apart from comedians whose life was made easier for the following 4 years.
by the way im not saying the average voter in Australia is any smarter.

Although most countries have universal suffrage, I wonder whether it would be better to require all voters to have a minimum educational standard.

If that were the case in Thailand, I am sure Thaksin, his sister and their cronies would not have had a look in.

Thai cabinet ministers not only have to be 30+, but have an approved University Degree (available in Kaosan Road!!!)

I well recall when the UK joined the EU donkeys years ago following a referendum. Most housewives only concern was what the price of butter would be.

Was that after they had been watching Marlin Brando's ' Last Tango in Paris'

Woman hiding with kids shoots intruder
 
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/woman-hiding-kids-shoots-intruder/nTm7s/



LOGANVILLE, Ga. —
A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.

The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.

But the man eventually found the family.

"The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh.

The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved.

"She's standing over him, and she realizes she's fired all six rounds. And the guy's telling her to quit shooting," Chapman said.


so here is a woman that if gun laws prevented her from having a gun, would probably dead. 
 
And note that 6 shots did not kill the prep, what if there had been a 2nd guy?  Would a gun with a 20 round magazine been better for her?

with respect Urleft, i dont think anyone on this post objected to personal protection in the home, or maybe even out of the home, a 12  or 15 shot mag semi auto pistol still sneaks into the acceptable but i think the objection comes from the strange desire in the USA for stock piling assault rifles etc..which seem to be the cornerstone of every massacre, often the owners are the parents of these sick kids that are the perpetrators ...but do not put them under lock and key separating rifle and ammo.
im sorry but i cannot see this story as an argument for the right to own assault rifles. (maybe she will trade in the .38 revolver & pick up a 40 caliber Glock)

Didn't kill him with 6 rounds.. Maybe she should spend some time on the range ha
