Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder

Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R..C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. About 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said. The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus , Bladen and Brunswick counties..

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff 's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening. "I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation." Soles, a top-ranking Democrat and the longest-serving member of the legislature, already was the subject of an FBI investigation over sexual misconduct allegations with former male clients. (FHW - Now, that sounds more like a liberal to me).

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say And Not As I Do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine. But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can .

Enigma,
I wonder if all the Jews that lived under Nazi Germany felt the same way? Maybe the people of Cambodia during the reign of Pol pot. Or Stalin’s Russia? If only the cops have guns, we will be safe they said. You seem to be afraid of an ordinary CITIZEN with a firearm but do not fear an entire police force or government officials. How many ordinary citizens disarmed those around them and commited genocide?? HIstory is filled with examples of police and governments exterminating their own unarmed people, compare the numbers to someone like Charles Whitman or the DC sniper.
Studies even show if you give absolute control, authority and power to a group on individuals over a group of helpless people, the ones in control lose all respect and empathy for those they under them and result to violence and torture. Click on this link for a reference.

With that being said, as long as police have guns, i will too. History shows, ordinary citizens are alot less deadly then police and government.
