Gun Watch – by Dean Weingarten
There are several documented cases where armed citizens have stopped mass attacks by gunmen. Let me list a few: The Pearl, Mississippi school shooting was stopped by the vice principal Joel Myrick with a Colt .45, The Appalachian School shooting was stopped by two students with handguns. Both of the above incidents were stopped by the armed citizens threatening the shooter without firing.

Plans to slay everyone in the Muskegon, Michigan, store and steal enough cash and jewelry to feed their “gnawing hunger for crack cocaine” fell apart for a band of would-be killers after one of their victims fought back.
The mass church shooting in Colorado Springs was stopped by the shooter being shot by a church member with a CCW permit.
The Santa Clara gunshop shooting in 1999 was stopped by an armed citizen after the shooter declared that he was going to kill everyone. Police found a list of intended victims in his car. Only the perpetrator, Richard Gable Stevens was shot.
The December, 1991, Aniston, Alabama defense where a CCW holder stopped armed robbers who were herding employees, customers, and his wife into a cooler. He shot both robbers, killing one.

July 13, 2009, in Virginia at the Golden Food Market: The gunman tried to shoot several people, was stopped by a CCW carrier.

Just recently, in Early Texas, armed citizen Vic Stacy shot and stopped a deranged man who had just murdered two neighbors and was firing at police with a rifle. Stacy made a very long shot with his revolver, three times as far as the perpetrator was from the police officer, who had an AR-15 type rifle.

That sounds like a very good story… but it never made the national news.
I wonder who made the decision to spike that story.
Of course, when a mass shooting is stopped by an armed citizen, there are not as many victims. This leads to the charge that it would not really have been a “mass shooting”.

This is MY idea of gun control – citizens armed with guns, controlling a possibly fatal (for others than the perps) situation.
From one hand, Obama gives Jewish American groups multiple tons a guns and multiple tons of ammo.
And from the other hand, Obama wants to take guns from non-Jewish Americans.
Hmmm.
Do ONLY Jewish Americans have an Obama sanctioned right to protect themselves form criminals?
On the surface, Obama would appear to be a Jew. But look under a few layers of Obama, and he would seem to be a Muslim trying to set Christian Americans against Jewish Americans.
That is one slick SOBama.
That really is some piss poor logic PrionPartyy. Sorry to say it but I’m almost laughing at the ignorance of that post. Obama’s cabinet is absolutely FILLED with jews, very few muslims if any. Obama is powerless against them and I see no evidence that 40 million Christian Zionists are turning their back on jews (when they should). Supremacist jews reign supreme over the US in all areas of power. Go to http://thezog.wordpress.com to learn more.
It appears the reason the Clackamas Town Center killer only killed 2 and injured 1 was an armed citizen. A young man pulled his gun and was pointing at the nut trying to decide IF he was confident he could hit the bad guy and not accidentally hit an innocent bystander when the shooter saw him and killed himself. So one more time when the number of dead is greatly decreased by an armed citizen. Gun control laws kill innocent people, criminals love them.
Another more recent example:
10-21-12 Azana Health Spa shooting, Brookfield, WI(near Milwaukee). Radcliffe Haughton, 45 4 dead, 4 wounded
Witnesses said they saw the gunman exit the spa briefly, perhaps chasing a women that might have been his 21yr old stepdaughter, before re-entering the spa. He might even have been confronted by armed bystanders, though this version isn’t being promoted by the major media:

“…this really smells to me and all the interviews looked very fishy, especially the two fellas who supposedly pulled a shotty(shotgun) out and encountered the gunman.”

Reports saying a woman ran out and flagged down people outside. Three hunters saw her and approached the suspect, and (they) pulled out a gun. The suspect ran off and is at large.
The suspect then returned to the building, where he eventually killed himself.
