In NYC yesterday, this guy gets on the Staten Island ferry with a sword
with orders from God to kill people...   He killed 2 and wounded 9....
Thank God there was an off-duty security guard on the boat WITH A HANDGUN
to stop him....

A couple of weeks ago, a guy was attacked by 5 armed youths in NYC...
He was lucky because he is a private detective and was able to kill his
attackers because he HAD A HANDGUN....   If it had been you or I,
we would be dead because NYC has the marvelous Sullivan laws which
prevent honest citizens from having weapons even in there home...
