Guns Don't Kill People. Guns Save People.

As a gun enthusiast and NRA member, I love to see stories like this. I just don't understand why I never see them in the New York Times.

Lambert says the man pulled a .25-caliber handgun from his pocket, apparently to rob him. Lambert pulled his own .380 caliber and the two were pointing weapons at each other for a tense moment.

The commissioner says he told the man to put down his gun and the man said he didn't want any trouble.

The suspect fled on foot and police later arrested 19-year-old Kane Stackhouse on an attempted robbery charge.

At the time of the robbery, Lambert was wearing a baseball cap that read, "Friends of the NRA." He says the would-be robber never asked for money or made demands -- but then, he didn't get much of a chance to.

If Chuck Schumer and his ilk had their way, Commissioner Lambert would be the criminal in this exchange.
