Gun control works for criminals and against the law-abiding. (Protest Warrior)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grafton Thomas entered a Rabbi’s home in order to attack people there who were celebrating Hanukkah. His chosen method of attack was a machete. He went around chasing after people, managing to stab five of them. He wasn’t finished when he stabbed people inside the synagogue, he went after them outside the synagogue.<\/p>\n

From CBSN New York:<\/span><\/p>\n

“He took out his knife, sword from a holder and started hitting people back and forth. Nothing, he didn’t say anything. He screamed after me when I came out here, he screamed after me, ‘Hey you, I’ll get you,'” one witness told CBS2’s Marc Liverman. “He moved to the front door. He could go straight into the kitchen and the dining room’s the first thing. First, he went into the dining room and hit a few people there. Then he went into the kitchen and hit one guy there, and then he came back to the dining room.”<\/p>\n

“I ran into the other room because I tried to save my life. I saw him running down this way, so I ran out and two ladies came along with me. They’re still hysterical,” witness Aron Kohn said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is one of the elephants in the room in the gun debate. If gun control was intended to make people safer, how do they explain things like this occurring? As you guys have pointed out repeatedly here, people with evil intent will find a way to commit that evil. What is needed is someone with a weapon at the right place and time. Not more words.<\/p>\n

New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, presented a speech in response to this attack. In addition to comforting those affected by this event, he talked about proposed actions. Instead of providing more talk, perhaps he could look to Texas and other Second Amendment friendly states for a practical solution.<\/p>\n

This will not eliminate the problem. However, this would serve as an additional deterrence. The threat of a violent response does have an effect on someone’s decision making.<\/p>\n
