judicial way.
Actually, I was going to mention that the shooting of Alton Nolan, the recently converted Jihadist, in Moore, Oklahoma, is a perfect example of where a gun in the right hands actually worked the way it's supposed to.

Alton Nolan had already beheaded one female co-worker and was attacking a second when the chief operating officer of the company, a special deputy in the local police force, shot him before he could kill that second female co-worker. As it stands, she was only stabbed but is expected to make a full recovery.

I'm not "pro-gun" at all, but I recognize this case as one in which a properly armed and trained good guy was able to intervene in a disaster in the making and prevent it from getting worse. Were it not for that guy using his gun to stop Alton Nolan, then Vaughan Foods could have been in the headlines as yet another massacre of innocent people; something that the USA has seen too many of in the past few years.
