SECOND AMENDMENT SAVES LIVES - AGAIN

NYTIMES/AP - TENNESSEE:

A knife-wielding grocery store employee attacked eight co-workers Friday, seriously injuring five before a witness pulled a gun and stopped him, police said.

... The attacker, chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was subdued by Chris Cope, manager of a financial services office in the same small shopping center, Higgins said.

Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck when he saw the attacker chasing the victim ''like something in a serial killer movie.''

''When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put his hands up and got on the ground,'' Cope told The Associated Press. ''He saw my gun and that was pretty much it.''

Police arrived within minutes and took the attacker into custody.

PEOPLE DON'T SAVE LIVES; GUNS DO.
