REAL GUN CONTROL
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 03:11 PM by horse_traderxx
NOW THIS IS A STORY WORTH TELLING. THIS STORY EXEMPLIFIES GUN CONTROL AS IT SHOULD BE.

Shooting in Butte , Montana

Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders in Butte , Montana November 5, 2006

Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.

It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine.

Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.

Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive.

It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.

Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news....

Now that is Gun Control.

I realize that this is old news but some things are just so good that they warrant repeating.

Thought for the day: Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

1. Urban myth, and prejudiced to boot . . .

Not only that, the earliest appearance of this lie was on libertypost.com, a complete batshit crazy right-wing cesspool.

3. Oh, good lord...
Even if this wasn't a total lie...
What about the first man, the one who died of stab wounds?
He had a gun as well, but it didn't work out for him.

These "if everyone had a gun" stories just make me sick - and wind up not making sense, to boot.

By the way, thanks for your "thought for the day" - are you sure you're on the right website?

4. 2A defenders on DU try to be accurate. Don't enable the opposition...
especially since your "story" seems to be doing double duty as some kind of anti-immigrant ideology.
