Why You Never Bring a Brick to a Gun Fight

Why the second amendment? Because we have a God-given right to defend ourselves in whatever manner we best see fit. And guns are just about the best defense law-abiding good people have against criminals intent on doing them harm.

As the NRA’s executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said, ”The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” That also applies, at least in this story, to stopping a bad guy with a brick:

A 44-year-old man was fatally shot as he was fighting with his wife and then attacked a neighbor when the Good Samaritan stepped in to help the woman Tuesday night in north Harris County.

Victor Daniel died at the scene about 8:50 p.m. in the 23200 block of Berry Pine near Woodiver, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

The wife told investigators he was physically assaulting her when the neighbor saw the attack and tried to stop it, deputies said.

Daniel then turned on the neighbor, hitting him with a brick. Deputies said the neighbor pulled out a handgun and shot Daniel.

Good on that Good Samaritan neighbor. Had he not intervened, who knows how badly the woman would have been hurt. And had he intervened and not had a gun, there’s no telling how much more damage the bad guy would have done to him with that brick.

This story has got to befuddle the hell out of bed-wetting, pantie-wearing Liberals, though.

First of all, they can’t even begin to imagine trying to step in and stop a violent attack on a helpless victim. They either look the other way, plead with the attacker to stop, or call the police and hope that the good guys show up in time to save the victim. But actually get involved and try to help someone? Not a chance.

And secondly, even after being hit in the head with a brick, using a gun to defend their own life from a person obviously intent on seriously hurting or killing them doesn’t even enter their thoughts.

On the other hand, a sheepdog will always seek to protect the sheep from the wolves. They can’t NOT help — it’s in their DNA and their instincts. This man was clearly a sheepdog.

Of course the using Liberal logic, we should now seek to ban…bricks!
