6. "Sometimes the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun,"

Hutson said, "is a good guy with a Twitter account."

Love that line! He did an excellent job stopping this creep before he hurt innocent people.

5. This made me happy!

What David Joseph Lenio, the 28-year-old who allegedly sent Hutson the messages, didn’t know was this:

“Of all the people he could have tangled with on Twitter,” Hutson says, “he picked the spokesman for the Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence.”
