Another "Tragic" Gun Death
OK, one more whack at the dead horse, then I'll call it a day. Besides, I still have my "24 - The Morning After" post to write. Might not get to that one 'til tomorrow. So much to blog, so little time.
Anyway...
Here's a classic example of the tragic kind of gun fatality that politicians in Massachusetts, like State Senator Jarrett "Proud Graduate of the Ponch and John Firearms Academy" Barrios and Boston Mayor Tom "Blame Everyone Else" Menino, are working so tirelessly to prevent.
I'm amazed the Boston Globe isn't covering this story, and as of noontime today, I couldn't find it anywhere on the AP wire. [/shocking]
Rule #2: Bring enough gun.
So much for the "Just call 911" tactic being promoted by the "progressive" gun "safety" movement. The only function the police are going to serve in a case like this is to fill out a report and coordinate corpse removal with the coroner's office. The only question left to debate is - whose corpse?
Had this story played out in Massachusetts (or Chicago, Washington DC, New Jersey, Great Britain, etc.), it would most likely have been the 9-year-old boy and his father being scraped up off the floor and tagged as evidence (with the blood-stained trigger lock keys bagged separately).
Based on the words and deeds of our elected officials here in Boston, and in the Massachusetts State Legislature, I can only discern that they deem that the more favorable of the two scenarios on the table here.
Remember...gun control, it's FOR THE CHILDREN!TM.
Idiotic GFW response: But, if we just got rid of all the guns, the assailant wouldn't have had a gun either!
And, having the father and his son dismembered with a chainsaw would have been so much more favorable an outcome. Hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.

An investigation revealed that Jackson saw Vigil trying to break into the front door with the butt end of a rifle. Jackson grabbed a .410 shotgun and shot the intruder in the chest as he entered the home, but the shot did not stop him, police said.
Rule #2: Bring enough gun.
Jackson and his son ran into a back bedroom and locked the door. Jackson told his son to hide under a bed and then grabbed a 30-06 rifle and started loading it. Police said the intruder then fired two rounds from a 30.30 rifle through the closed bedroom door.
Jackson yelled at him to leave and fired one round from his weapon through the bedroom door into the hallway. The intruder fired two more rounds and then began busting open the bedroom door, police said.
At that point Jackson fired another round, which apparently struck the intruder in the right hip area. The door remained closed and Jackson and his son stayed in the bedroom until officers arrived.
