We've got to stop glorifying incidents like these if we're ever going to cure our insane gun culture. A message needs to be sent that we don't live in an action movie and it's not a good idea to let a gun go off and put your kids at risk. I mean, she could've at least forced the guy at gun point to stop the car, but no, open fire!

I'm betting her kids are going to have trauma from this as well just because some gun-crazed chick thought she would feel bad-*** letting a gun go off.

I'm glad she shot him. When something like that goes down, you have little time to try to force him out at gun point. What if he drives off while she was ordering him out of the car? Not only would she lose what clear shot she had and risk shooting children or innocent bystander, but she would also risk being run over depending on her position.

Is this just a fake progressive profile trying to make liberals look bad?

Did mom leave the kids, keys and a loaded weapon in a unattended vehicle.

Seems as though had he gotten away with her car, he would have her kids and her gun.

Sounds lucky to me.

its tough being a gun banner and trying to piss all over an incident which supports armed citizens.
its fun watching a couple people who seem upset that a guy that we are better off without, got a lobotomy for engaging in one of the most serious federal violent felonies.
 
I suspect the OP is not finding the support and responses hoped for.

Well it's nice to know I guess that you would do nothing and just watch your car and kids drive off,only to find them dead later on because you have a thing about gun culture and the woes of it not to mention the TRAUMA. And IF her kids have any TRAUMA at least they will be alive to have it. I'd say her "action movie" had a good ending. You guys amaze me.
P.S. she asked him he refused. So she should hold him at gun point? He grabs the gun the gun goes off hits kid. She shot him good call.
 
=AtlantaAdonis;1068732067]What would happen if that woman were about the pull the trigger and the carjacker made a hard turn? The bullet could've gone right into the back seat. But Rambos and gun-toting Bubbas and Jim Bobs never think of that stuff.

WTF? Wait didn't you say in the OP " I mean, she could've at least forced the guy at gun point to stop the car,". Because she didn't give him the chance to make any turns! And your what if'ing it.
I'm just tired of these scenarios being used as an example of why we need "freedumb" and that the possibility that she saved two kids from being kidnapped (she probably only needed to force him to stop at gunpoint) somehow justifies the countless gunned down in schools. I suspect the right-wingers are more happy a carjacker is bleeding on the ground than that the kids are safe. Heck, they don't even care that Trump kidnaps kids. What's the point of havin' a gun if ya can't draw some blood, amiright?

There's that force him at gun point again. What if he makes that sharp turn and the gun goes off and a kid gets shot? I KNOW, I KNOW it's the NRA's fault or Trumps or all those evil NRA members or all three.

He doesnt realize that 'forcing someone to do something at gunpoint' is against the law. You may only use lethal force to stop an imminent lethal threat (or gross bodily harm/forcible felony). You cant draw it and threaten someone with it. You have to be prepared to shoot as soon as you draw (even if you end up not firing).By law she really did need to shoot (or retreat) unless he stopped the car when he saw the firearm.

You do realize that at most the media will talk about here for a day?The national media won't even touch this story because its a good guy or gal using a gun for good.


What we need to stop glorifying are the mass murderers who use guns.But anti-2nd amendment trash like to use those mass murderers to push for more anti-2nd amendment laws.
 
Look guys. I'm glad those two children are safe. All I'm saying is that we don't glorify people who solve their problems like we live in some kind of John Wayne movie. We have an epidemic of gun violence where kids are dying and stories like this just serve to say "hey look! a gun might have saved a couple of kids lives! it's totally worth the hundreds of kids that have died as a result of our gun nut culture becuz freedumb!"

Furthermore, the fact that the man who was shot was a person of color should give everyone pause. Systemic racism and it's pernicious effects should call into questions these narratives of the "thug" getting shot and the good guy prevailing.

Again: making it sound like it's a virtue to let someone take your kids, rather than use appropriate force to save them...if that means using a gun.

I asked earlier: why are those kids lives less valuable than the kids in schools?

The race thing is ludicrous...do you really think the woman wouldnt have shot a man taking her kids if he was the same color as she is? :doh

Some people read "gun" and the rest of their mind just shuts off. :roll: All they see is "guns bad". Jeebus

I say 'glorify' anyone that stands up to criminals and protects their families. You just hate the idea that people have legitimate uses for guns...and use them appropriately...it ****s with your agenda.

Even as a gun control advocate, I'd have no problems doing what she had done. I'd shoot to kill in her shoes.

I did not see anywhere in your posted link whether the shot person was a person of color or not. It would not have mattered to me... except possibly getting into more trouble if someone tried to claim it mattered to me on subsequent inquiry.

Your rub is that someone used a gun in it's intended way and it doesn't fit your narrative.

Good job mom

No such thing was done. A woman used a gun for what most people get guns for. Which is for the protection of themselves and others.That should be glorified. She wasn't pretending to be John Wayne. She was ****ing saving her kids and preventing some scumbag from taking her kids. Besides that I don't think you realize that someone using a firearm to stop a bad guy rarely gets any media attention what so ever. But if someone uses a gun to mass murder people then they are in the news for weeks and weeks. People who use firearms to stop bag guys should get media attention.

Maybe you demand that the media not glorify mass murderers who use guns.
