As Democrats rabidly push for more “gun control” amid the terrifying crime waves ignited by their soft-on-crime policies, there are daily reminders of why our Second Amendment right to self-defense must never be infringed.
One of the most poignant examples involved an eight-month-pregnant woman who used an AR-15 rifle to defend her then 11-year-old daughter and injured husband during a violent home invasion three years ago in Lithia, Florida.
At the time, her husband, Jeremy King, was being pistol-whipped and kicked in the head by two masked burglars.
“Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King told Bay News 9 in Tampa in 2019. “[My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me.”
He recounted how quickly the armed bandits turned violent.
“They came in heavily hooded and masked. As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter,” King recalled.
“I’m telling them, ‘I have nothing for you.’ … And they’re like, ‘Give me everything you got!’ It became real violent, real fast,” he said.
The burglars, who wore masks and hoods, pistol-whipped and repeatedly bashed King in the head.
The commotion alarmed King’s wife, who was in the back bedroom. One of the burglars saw her and shot at her.
That’s when Mrs. King — who was in her third trimester — ran into a back room, grabbed an AR-15 rifle, and stormed into the living room like the members of SEAL Team Six who took out terrorist Osama bin Laden.
“When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him,” King said. “He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.”
Joseph Michael Baez, 27, was found dead in the ditch, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
King suffered a concussion, a fractured eye socket and a fractured sinus cavity. He required 20 stitches and three staples in his head.
He credited his wife’s quick thinking and their AR-15 rifle for keeping their family alive.
“She evened the playing field and kept them from killing me,” he said.
While Democrats want to confiscate guns from legal firearm owners, this stunning incident is one of many where a “good guy with a gun” stopped an armed criminal from killing innocent people.
In 2017, a hero security guard shot an armed serial robber after he charged into an Illinois bank branch.
Security guard Brian Harrison whipped out his gun and shot the robber when he saw the perpetrator waving a gun around.
The attempted robbery occurred while three bank employees were on duty. No one was hurt during the terrifying incident.
Last month, two gunmen who invaded a house in Alabama were shot dead by the armed homeowner.
The homeowner, who was shot multiple times and injured when gunfire was exchanged during the burglary, is recovering after surgery.
Ironically, as crime surges, Democrats are making an aggressive push for more gun control.
All this does is erode the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Criminals don’t follow the law anyway and will find ways to get their hands on guns.
If “gun control” were the solution, why are there so many shootings in Democrat-controlled Chicago, Philadelphia and New York, which boast the strictest gun-control laws in the country?

40 people shot.
FORTY.
In a city where handguns are illegal.
It’s not about guns.
Or the law-abiding. https://t.co/Dy7eFeXd0M

As always, Democrats offer no real solutions to the multiple problems their toxic policies create.
The Dems are worried if the next Jan 6th will be better planned. On Jan 6th Americans attempted to take back our country from corrupt politicians unsuccessfully. Our country’s fathers foresaw a time that government might fail the people and provided that gun ownership is a right. Giving the people to power to take back control of our country. No politician has the power to take away the right to gun ownership. A constitutional provision that also makes this country impossible to invade and conquer. Guns don’t kill people, unfit people kill using whatever type of weapon is available, a knife, sword, bomb and poison. A gun makes the weakest among us able to defend themselves.
Disarm the public. Criminals first. When that happens, we law abiding citizens might sit down and have a conversation. After criminals are disarmed. Not until.
HEY DEMONIC-RATS – WHAT’S YOUR PLAN TO DISARM ALL THE CRIMINALS WHO ALREADY HAVE GUNS?
Can’t do it can you? The more the reason law abiding citizens have the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS !!!
Laws against using guns to commit crimes are already in force AND THERE ARE MURDERS EVERYDAY —
MORE LAWS WILL CHANGE === N O T H I N G ===
SECURITY IS THE WAY TO GO – A HOMEOWNER TRAINED TO USE A WEAPON IS — SECURITY !!
You won’t hear about this on the MSM. Tucker Carlson will probably be the only one to air this story. This type of story does not fit their agenda of taking away our rights and our ability to protect our families and ourselves.
One Dead Pedo is not enough one day soon they will all be
