In Florida, a woman found herself facing that very real terror. Luckily for her, she’s married to a man who owns a firearm.

A Bradenton man fended off a kidnapper who tried to abduct his wife on New Year’s Day, deputies said.

According to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, Nicholas Palomo, a 36-year-old felon who had previously gone to prison for kidnapping and other crimes, attempted to abduct a woman who was walking her dog in the area of 18th Place East in Bradenton.

The woman managed to escape Palomo by running from his car and made it to her home and warned her husband about what happened.

Detectives said the husband went outside and confronted Palomo who behaved ‘in a threatening manner’ toward the couple. When Palomo began approaching the victim’s husband, the husband shot him a single time in the driveway.

The sheriff’s office said the whole ordeal occurred within a matter of minutes.

Happily, the once and would-be kidnapper did not survive the encounter.

[note: This sound familiar to me. I’ve been there, defending against the abduction of my wife. Mine was more involved and I’ve related it before – but I know exactly the very real violent threat this was.]

Opposition to such experiments appeared to pick up momentum after Center for Medical Progress (CMP) undercover journalist David Daleiden recorded footage in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood staff discussing the process of harvesting aborted baby parts to traffic them. Clips of the footage, which then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris withheld from the public until a congressional subpoena in 2024, depict individuals identified as Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé and Vice President of Abortion Access Tram Nguyen discussing the sale of fetal body parts.

“What does it actually mean to be safe?

A viral video claims China feels safer than America — and that guns are the reason.
But ‘feeling safe’ and being safe are not the same thing.

In this video, I break down why emotional comfort is a terrible foundation for law, how authoritarian governments manufacture the illusion of safety, and why violence doesn’t disappear when guns are banned — it just adapts.

You’ll see:

Why censorship gets mistaken for peace

How mass violence happens without guns

Why criminals don’t follow rules — no matter how many you pass

And the one question from a Chinese immigrant that completely collapses the gun control argument

This isn’t about malls.
It’s not about rifles.
And it’s definitely not about fear.

It’s about control — because control feels like safety.”

[note: but isn’t safety. Its slow constant tyrannical/authoritarian government violence that takes place over time by the constant presence of ‘threat and suppression ability’ of the tyrannical/authoritarian government, or when the tyrannical/authoritarian government chooses to inflict it, against a populace to maintain control and suppression ability over individual rights and freedom. That is not ‘safety’, its forced & coerced submission by tyrannical/authoritarian government violent threat.]
