Teen clerk fights off armed robber, PennLive, Harrisburg, Pa. 08/19/16 – A masked man armed with a gun entered Madera Bros. Mini Market in Harrisburg, Pa. and attempted to rob the store. The clerk on duty, 19-year-old Daneurys Santo, responded to the threat by retrieving a shotgun and firing at the criminal. The armed robber was struck by Santo’s gunfire and immediately fled the store. The scene was captured by the store’s surveillance system. Less than a year ago, the store was the target of another robbery, during which Santo’s mother was working at the market. Following the incident Santo had a warning for the robber, stating, “He come again, I do the same.”

| Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s perversely named “Safety for All” initiative will appear on November’s ballot as Proposition 63, and while he’s working feverishly to exploit tragedy to sway voters to support restrictions on ammunition and gun ownership, we don’t believe for a nanosecond that his rhetoric will sway one evil doer from committing some atrocity. Rather, Proposition 63 will simply further disadvantage those who want to protect themselves, their homes and their loved ones. |

| If people and the media are truly committed in decreasing gun deaths, they should be intellectually honest enough to push for gun safety classes in our schools and to help educate people about the safe handling of a firearm. We also must recognize where the majority of these gun crimes are occurring and who is committing them. Innocent, rational people are tired of being misled and vilified for exercising their constitutionally protected gun rights, and the continued crusade against our gun rights is based on fear mongering and deception, and definitely not the actual facts. |
