I'd do it a little different but it makes a point...

Yeah buddy!
Love that low sight picture!
Love that low sight picture!
I attended the funeral for Caroline Previdi in Newtown CT. Caroline's Grandparents are close friends of my family. I'm curious as to how adding more Glock firearms might prevent this tragedy.
Since it's pretty obvious this is aimed at law enforcement, are you suggesting that law enforcement should not have access to the Glock?
Perhaps had one of these members of law enforcement had been on duty at the school the massacre could have been averted.
That's what I'm suggesting.

If you have to ask the question your mindset is set. No need to try to explain.
Sorry for the loss.

Doesn't have to be a glock, kimber, ruger,s+w, really any quality firearm in a regular shooters hands would have reduced the tragedy.

If more people like you understood the importance of carrying firearms maybe there wouldn't be so much a question of how to prevent these tragedies as a question of what's the most economical way to repair the walls without completely repainting the rooms. Glock's guns work, so why single them out? Are you some sort of anti-Glock bigot?

Fun commercial.
Though someone I know sent me this one as a basis of an armed home that did no good:
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/01/18/police-1-dead-in-bucks-county-home-invasion/
No idea if that's the case, it only states weapons were stolen, and other aspects are certainly questionable, like the hours they apparently stayed there.
But the gun as an amplifier to escalate the situation school of thought is definitely running rampant.

The point of the commercial is that if you would have been there with a Glock (or any other), Caroline might be alive today.
That tragedy should have made you pro-gun, not anti-gun.

Interesting thing is no major national media is running the story!! Yet other stories, backing gun control are nation wide headlines.

US mass corporate media is NOT IMPARTIAL and does not give balanced reporting, that includes all mass media outlets, from CNN, to Fox News, to CBS, ect.
It's comical to think that the sheeple put ANY trust in that media or any large news outlet in the USA.

Read the article... One man is dead and his weapons are stolen. Anti-gun folks are using this as a basis of making the point that even an armed home may not do much good.
Which may indeed be the case, cue the Autozone fired worker thread.
But home defense is a personal decision, and while I still personally dont see the need for an AR-15 for home defense, I certainly dislike the commentary that the outcomes are the same.
Sure, in the states where gun laws are lax, violent crime rates do indeed seem to be HIGHER overall (weve discussed that on here before, no need in this thread), but even that is no basis to strip a decision upheld as recently as DC v Heller.

With the correct ammunition, AR-15's are EXCELLENT home defense weapons. They limit over-penetration and stop the threat immediately.
In almost every scenario imaginable, the AR platform is better and safer to use than a handgun or shotgun for home defense. This is fact. If you claim otherwise, you do not know of what you speak.

Every time I hear any sort of argument, from either pro or anti gun individuals, I transparently replace "gun" with "car". You can usually figure out that nobody is addressing the actual problem.
`On one side, we can see the results of one such tragedy. One male driver, upset and enraged from being stuck in traffic yesterday afternoon, struck and killed two pedestrians and wounded three others when his vehicle, a stealth black turbocharged sport utility vehicle, was driven into the sidewalk. Anti-car supporters continue to push for legislation banning any vehicle with over 5 seat capacity, over 200 horsepower, and of any classification of truck or sport utility vehicle. While mourning over the injured, the mayor gave his condolences to families effected by the tragedy, vowing to pass harsher laws preventing dangerous vehicle from getting into the hands of those with ill intent.`
Same can be said for pro gun people, its just more difficult to find as good an example. At this rate the pro-gun equivalent for what I typed above would be to say if more pedestrians had cars, there would be fewer deadly accidents.
What is probably a more realistic compromise: more background checks on people to make purchasing guns harder and some stiffer lashings for ignoring that (see: buying guns for other people). Banning guns outright is sort of ridiculous. In Canada its a highly annoying process to buy guns but at the very least, you can, and generally it keeps them away from idiots.
This Glock commercial at any rate is a pretty good one. It makes a statement without directly poking at the political issues at hand too too badly. Nicely done one, too. I don't think they're saying LEO's only, but they're definitely saying their pistols are a good defensive platform when you don't know what could walk in the door.

Perhaps it depends on where you live. In an apartment or close quarters housing, maybe an ar may not be the best choice. I don't know what he used in the above video, but based on the tight group on the windshield I'm thinking ar-15. If your live in more remote area, or where you may face multiple attackers an ar makes sense.
Only a Good Guy with a Gun will stop a Bad guy with a Gun! Thats a fact Jack!
