A gun control measure I can get behind!

The father had good control (5 shots, 2 men, daughter being used as a shield).. The mother needs some help.

A St. Louis couple is likely thankful to have guns in their home after they were forced to use them to defend their daughter against two men Monday night.
The men, one of whom had an extensive rap sheet, confronted the couples’ 17 year-old daughter after she stepped outside of the house to go to her car, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also present.
The girl’s father and mother witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men. The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.
Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.
In 2010, McClinton was charged with shooting another man. Charges were eventually dropped due to lack of witness participation. He also had drug possession and distribution charges against him.
McClinton is charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, and criminal armed action and is being held on $1 million bond.

Nice! Unfortunate that the good stories never make the major headlines. Might help offset some of the anti-second amendment brainwashing of the sheeple.

naaaaawh

Obama would have told the family why they used guns and not call the police instead?

These kind of stories never make it into the major news programming because they are counter productive to the governments agenda.

^ the government agenda?

it would first have to get by the media's agenda...
...they are, after all, liberal!

That's basically the same because who ultimately controls the media?
