Ted Cruz Laughs After Blasting Away With A M249 Machine Gun Posted by BearingArms.com Staff on April 3, 2015 at 2:52 pm A new-to-us video from last summer shows Texas Senator and Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz smiling after firing a long burst from a M249 machine gun. As Cruz laughs in obvious enjoyment—you have to be dead inside not to enjoy shooting a belt-fed weapon—an off camera bystander quips, “Let’s see (retiring Senate Minority leader) Harry Reid do that.” http://bearingarms.com/ted-cruz-laughs-blasting-away-m249-machine-gun/

Bad Guy With A Gun Stopped By Good Uber Driver WIth A Gun Posted by Andrew Marcus on Monday, April 20, 2015, 3:34 PM This reads like it was ripped straight from the pages of a Bruce Willis flick. A Democratic gunman opened fire on a crowd of innocent people in Chicago today, and a legally armed Uber driver came to the rescue, shooting the gunman and saving everyone’s lives. Tribune reports: A group of people had been walking in front of the driver around 11:50 p.m. in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when Everardo Custodio, 22, began firing into the crowd, Quinn said. The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records. Responding officers found Custodio lying on the ground, bleeding, Quinn said. No other injuries were reported. If The Supreme Court hadn’t corrected decades of Progressive attacks on the 2nd amendment, the only person who would’ve been armed in this story is the bad guy. The Uber driver wouldn’t have even been able to stop to help. He’d have been defenseless. Thanks to conservatives and libertarians, that Uber driver was an armed hero waiting to happen, and everyone lived.

Onward Christian soldiers: Michigan Catholic priest urges parishioners to arm themselves

Michigan Theater,
Ann Arbor, MI

Even a Roman Catholic priest in the liberal university town of Ann Arbor, Michigan can take only so much.

From the Detroit Free Press:

An Ann Arbor Catholic priest has urged his parishioners to arm themselves and attend classes at Christ the King parish to earn a concealed pistol license (CPL).

In a letter sent to Christ the King parishioners recently, the Rev. Edward Fride explained why he believed it was necessary to get concealed pistol licenses because of recent crime in the area. During a Palm Sunday mass last month, Fride announced that the parish would be holding the CPL class.

When some parishioners questioned the decision, Fride sent out a pro-gun letter titled "We're not in Mayberry Anymore, Toto" – a reference to the 1960s-era Andy Griffith Show and its portrayal of a fictional North Carolina town, as well as Dorothy's dog from the Wizard of Oz.

"It is very common for Christians to simply assume that they live in Mayberry, trusting that because they know the Lord Jesus, everything will always be fine and nothing bad can happen to them and their families," Fride wrote.

Catholic teachings do allow for self defense.

He Allegedly Put Knife to Texas Grandma’s Neck — Then His ‘Eyes Got Big’ at Her Next Nine Words A 74-year-old grandmother in Fort Worth, Texas, left a would-be robber’s eyes “big” as the man nearly lost his life trying to hold her up with a knife on Monday. While Jewell Turner sat in her minivan outside her doctor’s office, she said a man approached her and tapped on the driver’s side window. The grandma said she offered the man directions when he inquired — but she had no idea what he really had planned. Screengrab via NBC DFW “Never thought that when I turned my head that that young man would stick a knife to my throat,” she told NBC DFW. The suspect then reportedly threatened, “I don’t want to hurt you, but I want your money. And I will hurt you if I have to.” But on this particular day, Turner said, she felt like she should bring her small handgun with her for self-protection. She also had a pocket knife with her, but opted for the firearm for obvious reasons. Within seconds, the tables were turned. “I just reached down, got the gun and turned around and pointed it to his face. And I told him, I said, ‘You back off, or I’ll blow your head off.’ And his eyes got big and he just backed up and he took off walking down the street like nothing happened,” Turner recalled. She said the “devastating” incident reminded her that there is a “dark side” to the world. The woman also apparently caught a glimpse of her own “dark side.” “I noticed there was a dark side in me, too. Because when I first pulled that gun on him I actually wanted to shoot him. But I stopped and thought about it,” Turner said. The woman described the would-be robber as a white male in his mid-20s with pale skin and blonde hair, according to NBC DFW. He was wearing a dark hat and camo jacket. Reports didn’t indicate that police had apprehended or charged the suspect. As for the grandmother, she said she hopes the incident won’t prevent her from seeing the good in people after her life was put in danger trying to help a stranger. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/21/he-allegedly-put-knife-to-texas-grandmas-neck-then-his-eyes-got-big-at-her-next-nine-words/
