Why don't stories like this ever make CNN, ABC, Dan Rather, etc.?

In summary it's about a woman defending her business when robbers entered. She shot and killed one of the robbers. The driver of the getaway car got caught later and the cops are still looking for the third scumbag.

The media only enjoys plastering images of innocent civilians in distress....never a stand-up-for-yourself story.

Looks like it doesn't pay to throw down on Judy. Good for her!

And Chuck, I agree, the mainstream media will never air this story as it shows how firearms can empower individuals and protect life and property and that just won't do. They have to make firearms out to be the devils tool and a scapegoat for everything else bad in our society.

Get a subscription to one of the NRA publications, like American Hunter or American Rifleman. They have a monthly feature called The Armed Citizen that's chock full of stories like this.

It's a plan of making people conform to govt subserviance, do away with the individual and his self reliance. The gun grabbers are a piece of the plan to make sure their agenda of ensuring that America is great because of government. The overall picture is to empower the government to completely take care of all your needs and to protect you. An individual has no place in the future of America, especially an individual that sets a BAD example of being self-reliant.

One of the big obstacles to firearm ownership for the left is that it's believed if citizens can protect themselves it disrupts the plan or the govt completely taking care of ALL your needs in return for ALL of your money.

Hence, the only firearm stories you will here from the media machine is the ones about lawless street crimes involving criminals with guns and the occasional child shoots himself while playing with a gun.

Stories like the one Chuck posted are damaging to the leftest view of a govt run utopia.
