On Friday, Townhall posted an article about a graduation party in Charleston, West Virginia.

The article reports:

“Police said a woman who was lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who began shooting at a crowd of people Wednesday night in Charleston,” location Fox 11 reported about the incident. “Dennis Butler was killed after allegedly shooting at dozens of people attending a graduation party Wednesday near the Vista View Apartment complex. No injuries were reported from those at the party. Investigators said Butler was warned about speeding in the area with children present before he left. He later returned with an AR-15-style firearm and began firing into the crowd before he was shot and killed.”

Thank God it wasn’t a gun-free zone. Notice that the woman was lawfully carrying and acted to save lives.

We need to remember that taking away guns from Americans who legally have the right to own them will not impact the amount of guns in the hands of criminals. Criminals will not be interested in following any new gun laws we manage to pass.

A website called mass-shootings.info reports the following:

Many of the states on this list have strict gun laws–New York and California in particular. Because criminals tend not to abide by the law, strict gun laws don’t decrease gun violence. Criminals are less likely to attack people in areas where concealed-carry permits are common. Criminals want the upper hand–they want to be the only ones with the guns. We need the Second Amendment to keep all of us safe.
