Did you know Japan has a higher suicide rate than we do? And they mostly don't use guns. I read the most popular method seems to be jumping in front of trains. Unless you can explain why gun control doesn't save suicides in Japan, I'm gonna just chalk that post up to another dumb statement from ole Shep.

Missouri Woman Chased Down by Assailant Until She Took the Upper Hand Posted at 9:35 am on August 23, 2016 by Jenn Jacques [ Good thing her handgun and ammo weren't disassembled and hidden in several places. Her attacker would have had the opportunity to unleash whatever malice he wanted on her. I presume the Democrats in O'Fallon are in mourning. ] Police in O’Fallon, Missouri say a 57-year-old woman was forced to shoot a male assailant after he chased her into her home on Little Brave Drive shortly after noon last Tuesday. “This initially began in her driveway, she was in her car, the person, the deceased, approached her there and then there was some type of confrontation. She ran in to the house and he followed her,” said O’Fallon Police Chief Roy Joachimstaler. The woman, identified by authorities as Pamela Hupp, told police she had been sitting in her car in the driveway of her home when the man approached her. After a swift altercation, the woman became fearful and ran from her car into the house. Hupp then called police to report a burglary in progress around 12:10 p.m. but the man reached her inside her home before police arrived on scene. Authorities said Hupp, who had secured a firearm at some point, fired several shots, killing her assailant. She then called the police back to report the shooting. When officers arrived, they discovered the body of 33-year-old Louis Gumpenberger in the woman’s home. A woman claiming to know Gumpenberger said he had suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident and said he could be easy-going, then violent at times. Authorities said they do not believe Hupp and Gumpenberger knew each other and police say the investigation is ongoing at this time. bearingarms

This 91-Year-Old Had Something For His 30-Year-Old-Robber, And It Wasn’t Cash Posted at 8:23 am on August 24, 2016 by Bob Owens [ Poor robber, wounded by a vicious and stingy and selfish 91 yo gunslinger out for blood on a fine morning. That's how Democrats see this. ] A 30-year-old man who threatened an elderly man in a Rite Aid parking lot in Michigan was warned once by the 91-year-old that he was carrying a concealed weapon, and that he should stay away. Clearly, he is a slow learner. A robber in Michigan picked the wrong target. Eastpointe police said a 91-year-old man shot a would-be robber in the parking lot of a Rite Aid pharmacy Monday morning. According to WJBK, the 91-year-old had pulled into the pharmacy’s parking lot around 10:15 a.m. Monday and said he began to feel uneasy when the man – later identified as Richard Ashford – walked up to him, acting erratically. The 91-year-old warned Ashford that he had a concealed pistol license, and Ashford walked away. When the man got out of his car to enter the pharmacy, however, Ashford confronted him again, pulling out an “unknown object” and pointing it at him, police said. The 91-year-old drew his gun and fired, hitting Ashford in the neck. Ashford fled the scene despite his wound, but police later captured him and took him to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities charged Ashford with felonious assault. No charges will be filed against the 91-year-old man according to Prosecutor Eric Smith. If convicted, Ashford faces up to four years in prison for felonious assault. bearingarms
