Who said the moonbats were not trying to grab our guns? 4 SC moonbats certainly were.

What a surprise, DEMOCRATS LIE
Sotomayor during confirmation hearings: Precedent says an individual right to bear arms is the law of the land.

Sotomayor on the bench, ruling on that very subject: Eh, not so much

Teen hero shoots would-be burglary suspect

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=7528124

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Two would-be burglars are in police custody thanks to the quick actions of a 15-year-old.

One suspect is in jail, and the other is at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Kinzy Evans, 17, is still hospitalized. Charges against him are pending. The second suspect, a 16-year-old male juvenile, has been charged with burglary.

Investigators say they aren't sure whether Evans is going to make it. He was shot in both his legs and face by a 15-year-old who detectives say feared for his safety and the safety of his sister.

It happened at a home on Royal Place Court in northwest Harris County at around 2:30pm Tuesday.

"All he said was, 'Anybody seriously hurt?' and he said, 'Oh yeah, definitely,'" neighbor Renee Thompson said.


The blood on the driveway told a burglary-gone-bad story.

Deputies say the suspects broke into the home through a back window. From upstairs, the 15-year-old -- who was home with his 12-year-old sister -- heard the breaking glass and grabbed his father's automatic rifle. The burglary was soon over.

Family members rushed to the home, but the children's father, Vince Guerra, had beaten them all there. He's a Harris County Pct. 1 deputy constable and was on duty when it happened. No wonder his son knew what to do.

"We don't try to hide things from our children, and we try to give them a perspective about the way things are," Harris County Sheriff's Office Lt. Jeff Stauber said.

Within an hour, both Evans and the juvenile were in custody; they were caught at a nearby hospital while seeking help.

The juvenile was brought back to the scene, where deputies checked him for evidence and collected the rifle.

Neighbors backed what the 15-year-old did.

"I'm really glad he was able to defend himself," Thompson said.

Investigators concluded the shooting was justified.

"As parents, we protect our kids, and as an older brother, he was protecting his sister and himself," Stauber said.

Neighbors say there have been recent burglaries in the neighborhood.

Investigators said that rifle was the personal weapon of the teen's father, the deputy constable. He's been with the constable's office for 11 years and is described as a good officer.

There were some questions about whether he'd be liable for the shooting since his son had easy access to the weapon, but ABC13's legal expert says that the 15-year-old's right to protect his home and sister trumps all child firearm access laws.

Why didn't Jesus prevent His men from carrying swords? For show?

Luke 22:36 (King James Version)

36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

“The SC has reversed itself many times in the past, and of course it has "neglected" to enforce rulings as well.”

I am sorry Mutt, but can you please explain how the "Supreme Court" enforces any of its decisions?

When you do...can you tell it to the Cherokee Nation cause they would have liked to have had that enforcement capacity a couple hundred years ago.

the 15-year-old -- who was home with his 12-year-old sister

It's a good thing the 15 YO boy knew how to handle a weapon. Those Amish boys might have raped and killed his 12 YO sister and him.

Haha! When I posted that verse way back when to prove Xianity wasn't always a religion of peace, Sarge shouted me down and said I didn't know what I was talking about. Now he uses the exact same argument.

The sweetest vindication is one waited upon. Priceless.

June 23: A new round replaces the current M855 5.56mm cartridge that has been used by U.S. troops since the early 1980s. The M855A1 offers a number of significant enhancements: improved hard target capability, increased dependability, consistent performance at all distances, improved accuracy, reduced muzzle flash and a higher velocity. It's tailored for use in the M-4 but also improves the performance of the M-16 and M-249 families of weapons.

Swiss Vote to Keep 'a Gun in Every Closet'

Perhaps the great paradox of peaceful and safety-conscious Switzerland, which hasn't been under military threat since World War II, is its cherished tradition of a gun in every closet. And, as the defeat of a Feb. 13 initiative seeking to tighten the nation's liberal gun law proves, the Swiss are not willing to bid a farewell to arms anytime soon.

Early polls in the midst of what was a heated and contentious campaign predicted victory for the anti-gun lobby, but on Sunday, 56.3% of voters rejected the proposal to ban army rifles from homes. With between 2.3 million and 4.5 million military and private firearms estimated to be in circulation in a country of less than 8 million people, Switzerland trails behind only the U.S. and Yemen in the number of guns per capita.
