For this guy I think no guns are better:

 

Wonder how many teeth he lost on that shot. I hope he got back at it and fired the rest of the magazine. He needs the practice.

WIRED: 3D-printed guns are back, and this time they are unstoppable. 

 

“A decentralised network of gun-printing advocates is mobilising online, they’re anonymously sharing blueprints, advice and building a community. There’s no easy way they can be halted.”

 

 

 

They say that like it’s a bad thing.

God created man.  Samuel Colt made men equal.

 

And that's nice and all, too bad Raygun was a gun-grabbing phony.

How would you know that? They don't even have the internet in Wasilla.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Another California Gun Policy Doesn’t Survive Federal Court.

OREGON: Clerk fired after pulling gun on hatchet-bearing attacker, causing attacker to flee.

A hearty “Well done” and “Stout fellow!” are due the clerk. With well-disciplined use of the pistol, he defended his own life — surely the Plaid Pantry’s first consideration — while preventing the confrontation from escalating or bringing harm to anyone else. He managed to notify the police, and he didn’t make the error of trying to pursue the attempted robber. For good measure, the would-be robber took off without his hatchet, leaving it on the counter, so he was disarmed at that point too.

 

The clerk is now out of a job, however.

 

The president of Plaid Pantry told KOIN 6 News the stores have a zero tolerance for weapons and the clerk is no longer employed there. He said employees are trained to de-escalate robbery situations to avoid injury.

 

Granted, if the clerk knew about the “zero tolerance policy for weapons,” he shouldn’t have had a weapon in the store. (He probably shouldn’t have accepted employment there in the first place.)

 

But what an indictment it is of zero tolerance policies for weapons, that the clerk would have had no way to bring off the same very happy outcome if he hadn’t been armed himself.

Read the whole thing.

So, the president of that chain thinks advertising that they are easy targets for armed robberies is a good thing?

I thought that is exactly what happened. Clerk pulls out gun. Robber shat himself. Situation de-escalated.

Yep.  Often, the only way to de-escalate a situation is a demonstrate a superior level of force.  Si vis pacem, para bellum.
