全美最大的槍枝遊說團體「全國步槍協會」發表措辭強硬的聲明表示,歐巴馬這套方案只會限制守法的公民,並無法有效束縛歹徒,「孩童依然面臨更多的悲劇」。聲明並說,強化校園安全,應該以精神病治療體系、犯罪矯治體系為對象,而不是以槍枝為對象。協會執行長拉皮耶(Wayne La Pierre)發表公開信,說歐巴馬的作法是霸凌安善良民,也違反憲法修正案,「我們面對的是一場世紀之戰」。
The 37-year-old woman initially thought the person knocking at her door was a solicitor. But when the man repeatedly rang the doorbell, she called her husband. He told her to gather the children and hide while he called 911.
By that time, the man had already forced his way into the three-story house in the town of Loganville.
Authorities told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the man was working his way through the home when he came upon the closet where the woman and her 9-year-old twins were hiding.
“He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,” Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told the AJC.
“She fired all six shots,” the sheriff told television station WAGA. Five of the bullets hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area.
“The guy’s face down, crying,” the sheriff told the newspaper.
The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.
Slater, who has a long rap sheet, survived. He’s listed in critical condition.
The woman’s husband told WSB-TV that his wife is a hero.
“She protected the kids,” he told television station. “She did what she was supposed to do.”
The sheriff agreed.
“That mother’s instinct kicked in,” Chapman told the newspaper. “You go after a mother’s kids and she’ll find herself capable of doing things she never thought she was capable of.”
Residents across North Georgia are praising the unidentified woman’s actions.
“God bless this woman,” one reader wrote on WAGA’s website. “She had the strength and courage to stand and protect her children and herself.”
“That is what I call gun control,” another reader wrote. “Good job, lady. You are brave.”

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! If you value your freedom, please spread this antigun-control message to all of your friends. SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET. Spread the word everywhere you can that you are a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
It's time to speak loud before they try to silence and disarm us. You're not imagining it, history shows that governments always manipulate tragedies to attempt to disarm the people ~ Conservatives Club
