Gunfight at bar leaves one wounded, another in custody

MANCHESTER – Bullets flew outside the Uptown Tavern
early yesterday when a peeved patron began shooting at
a doorman after being thrown out of the club. The
shooter himself was shot twice by an armed customer
who rushed to the bouncer's defense, a club owner and
police said.

========================

Remember: New Hampshire has about the least gun
control in the country. No permission need for open
carry except in courts (as far as I know), and
concealed weapons permits are issued automatically
upon request and payment of a $15 fee. New Hampshire
is the safest state in America.

What might have happened had an armed customer not
rushed to the bouncer’s defence? Hmmm?

Japanese mayor killed by gangster

TOKYO - When Nagasaki's mayor was fatally shot in
southern Japan, it wasn't much of a surprise that a
gangster was arrested for the attack. In a country
where regular citizens face strict gun laws, the mob
does most of the shooting.

===================

That last sentence is so important, it merits a
repeat: “In a country where regular citizens face
strict gun laws, the mob does most of the shooting.”

Was there a part of that sentence that you missed? One
more time: “In a country where regular citizens face
strict gun laws, the mob does most of the shooting.”

If you or anyone you know still don’t get it, there’s
a reason for the cliché: “If guns are outlawed, only
outlaws will carry guns.” And the reason for that
cliché is this: “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws
will carry guns.”
