Tom Massie is a libertarian Republican from Kentucky who almost always is a good man and a Patriot. He gave it to a Democrat on gun control, but good.

Fox: “Republican Rep. Thomas Massie fired back at Democrat Rep. David Cicilline after he suggested during a congressional hearing that there wasn’t ‘a single incident’ where someone with an assault weapon ‘was stopped by a person with a gun.’ ”

“The fact that guns are used by good guys every single day to prevent and stop bad guys is an inconvenient truth for Rep Cicilline and other Democrats who want to trample on the Second Amendment,” Massie told press last week after Democrat Rep. Cicilline said this.

“I don’t think there is a single incident – and maybe there’s one, but I’ve not found one – of an assailant using an assault weapon that was stopped by a person with a gun, so this is a – maybe there’s one of the thousands and thousands and thousands of shootings, but the truth of the matter is school resource officers are an important response to school safety,” Cicilline, who represents Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District, said on Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

“The Democrats – I don’t know if they’re just in willful ignorance of what happens in this country or they’re being deceptive today, but I would like to introduce into the record a list of cases where concealed handgun permit holders have likely stopped mass public shootings. This is from crimeresearch.org, and it’s published May 27th, 2022,” Massie explained.

“Portland, Oregon, February 19, 2022,” Massie said, outlining an incident, “Homeowner allegedly confronted participants at a racial justice demonstration Saturday night before pulling out a handgun and shooting multiple people in the crowd, leaving one woman dead and several others injured. The shooting ended when a person, with the group of demonstrators, who is licensed to conceal-carry a firearm, fired back, striking the homeowner in the hip.”

Massie also talked about a 2021 case when a citizen saved many lives “after he pulled out a legally possessed 9mm handgun” and killed a man who had opened fire on a Syracuse, New York crowd. “The very gun that Joe Biden wants to ban,” Massie said, Biden’s comment saying that he supports banning 9mm handguns.

Massie is the same guy who sent liberals screaming into the streets with a Christmas card last year showing he and his family holding guns. “Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo,” Massie posted on Twitter. Well played.

The photo spread like crazy on social media, with tens of thousands of likes and quote tweets, as well as thousands of people slamming Massie as “demented” and an example of a “White Privileged Christmas.” You gotta like the guy for that one.
