The security guard Jeanne Assam, who stopped mass murderer Matthew Murray in his tracks at New Life Church in Colorado Springs is a hero to many law abiding citizens. Had she not acted or if she not been armed, the American news media would be working overtime on an mass murder story today. However, I wonder how long it will be before the hero will be come the perpetrator. How long will it be before those who would take our Second Amendment rights from us will say that she acted precipitously and even worse used God as an excuse for killing another human being? This is a perfect example of how the criminals always have to beware entering a scene if they are unsure of the presence of weapons that could offset their intentions. The Virginia Tech shootings may have been prevented or reduced significantly had a either an armed student or teacher been present.
Ms. Assam is to be hailed as a hero for many who may be dead today. But not only did she prevent the murder of many that day, she also will give pause to many other wackos who would try to copy this heinous act and try to become instantly famous. We'll never know how many she saved but we know one thing, that Matthew Murray did not live to try it again and perhaps a few just like him will think twice before trying such a deadly and foolish act. My guess is that before the end of the week, she will be under fire by the anti-gun Left.
