There's a news report out of Oklahoma fraught with difficulties, in my opinion, for liberal progressives who wish to ban guns. Bre Peyton summarizes the events:
An Oklahoma man used a revolver to stop a neighbor from killing his three-month-old twin children last Friday.Here are six questions for my liberal progressive friends:
Leland Foster was allegedly trying to drown his twin babies, one boy and one girl, in the bathtub of his Ada, Oklahoma home after threatening their mother with a knife. Then his neighbor intervened, according to KOFR-TV.
A 12-year-old girl who was living in the house ran to seek help from her neighbor, Cash Freeman, who saved the babies’ lives by shooting Foster twice in the back with a revolver, which killed him.
Foster has a violent criminal record. In 2011, he pled guilty to domestic abuse by strangulation and arson in the first degree.
Freeman told reporters he’s worried he might get into trouble for saving the babies’ lives. According to KOFR, Ada police said the incident would go before the district attorney, who will decide if the homicide was justified. Police said they questioned Freeman just after the incident and released him.
The babies were flown to a nearby hospital and have since been released.
- Should Mr. Freeman have been allowed to own a firearm?
- Should he be allowed by law to have used a firearm to shoot Mr. Foster to save the children?
- Should Mr. Foster have the right to kill his three-month-old children?
- If the answer to #3 is no, at what point should the life of a child be protected by law?
- What is the rationale for drawing the line at that point?
- Should the cop who fought off the Islamic terrorists on London Bridge with his nightstick, or the defenseless cop in Paris who was murdered by the Islamic terrorists who perpetrated the Charlie Hebdo atrocity in 2015, been armed with a gun?
