A Yazoo County High School football player disarmed a 14-year-old student aboard a school bus
Law enforcement and school officials are praising the efforts of a Yazoo County High School football player for disarming a 14-year-old student aboard a school bus this morning.

snip
Vaughan, who watched the incident from the bus security camera, said the girl, whose name has not been released, entered the bus at 6:53 a.m. and moved about two-thirds of the way to the back before pulling a .380 semi-automatic handgun from her bag. The girl loaded a clip of ammunition into the gun and pointed it at several students while ordering the bus driver to pull over, Vaughan said.
“She was using some hard words,” he said. “She was saying somebody on the bus was either messing with her or picking on her.”

Vaughan said Eulls stood up, talked briefly to the girl and then tackled her, wrestling the gun away.

“He made the statement to one of my deputies that if she was going to shoot anyone he would rather she shoot him,” Vaughan said. “Watching him do that and him doing such a heroic act and not even caring about his own safety, that’s something you don’t see every day.”

1. Where's Jerry Clower when you need him?
He could get a half hour of material from that.

3. I don't think even Jerry Clower would make
a routine about something like this.

2. Just think how much safer everyone would have been if HE had a gun!
Or hell, if everyone on the bus had a gun!

4. Bravo
Great job and true hero

The NRA will say she would not have used the gun and she had a right to have the gun on the bus:puke:

5. Two Points
Yes...definitely a Hero

The NRA does not support or defend illegal acts. Demonizing them with falsehoods is ineffective. There are more then enough reasons to despise those assholes without making stuff up.
