I wish I had the time to dig up all the data on the mass shootings of the last year and then total up all the times a legally armed person saved lives. That one story about the off-duty deputy in the Portland mall didn't get much media response. But I bet he saved more lives than were lost at the Sandy Hook shooting! |
