A man who allegedly held a teen runaway captive inside the car they were living in for two weeks was arrested Monday after the 16-year-old girl broke free and sought help from a Kingsley homeowner, police say.

She ran to a nearby house and was calling for help when the man allegedly forced his way into the residence and refused the homeowner's order to leave. The resident grabbed a decorative, inoperable firearm from the wall and pushed the man out with the help of friends, deputies reported.

As that happened, authorities arrived at the scene and arrested the Buckley man for home invasion and domestic assault.

Submitter's note: They don't even have to be real guns to save lives.

As the April 19 New York presidential primary approached, Hillary Clinton sought to draw a contrast with rival Bernie Sanders on gun policy. During an April 11 appearance in Port Washington, N.Y., for what was billed as a "conversation on gun violence," Clinton took issue with Sanders� characterization of his home state, Vermont, in the gun policy debate. Sanders has said that Vermonters have a more tolerant attitude toward guns than more urbanized states like New York, because of their state�s small, rural nature.

In the 2012 movie Skyfall, James Bond brandishes his trusty sidearm, but with a high-tech twist: There�s a sensor in the grip that reads palm prints so only he can fire it. The souped-up firearm saves the secret agent�s life, and in the real world, similar technology could do the same for thousands. Or so says Ron Conway, an avuncular Silicon Valley billionaire trying to disrupt the gun industry.

The parents of a man charged in the fatal shooting of a Northern Arizona University student last fall say they will remove all guns from their home and relocate to Coconino County, if necessary, should a judge agree to release their son. Superior Court Judge Dan Slayton rejected a request in February to allow Steven Jones to live with his parents in Maricopa County pending trial. But the judge left open the possibility of home confinement once he had more information on monitoring, access to weapons, potential searches of Jones' parents' home and counseling.

Guns Don't Kill People, Liberalism Does

President Obama wants us to politicize gun deaths in America. I decided to take him up on his invitation. I hope that no one is surprised that Obama took this opportunity again to attack guns, the gun industry, and those of us who are fans of the Second Amendment. This is what a community organizing career politician does. For liberals like Obama, virtually everything is, or must be made, political. Because political problems require political solutions, and thus, when something is politicized, those in favor of empowering and growing government get to do what they do best: give speeches, call for legislation, and attempt to stir up the electorate in their favor.

Gov. Paul LePage has a signed into law a bill prohibiting most private landlords who accept public housing vouchers from barring guns in their apartments. The proposal is backed by the National Rifle Association, which has long fought to strike down gun bans in public housing. The new law, inspired by a shooting last year by a Rockland man who confronted an intruder in his apartment, goes even further. It will determine whether private property owners who receive public subsidies, such as federal Section 8 housing vouchers, can prevent their tenants from possessing guns on the property.

For those who have never gifted a gun before, it may seem as simple as going to a store and picking one up.

Want to know what is on the minds of the American shooting public? Try answering the mail addressed to American Rifleman for a while. And this month, anyway, it seems to be the M1 carbine. Between �When the Deer Come Running� about its use in combat in Korea, and Kelly Young�s story �Inland�s Return: (Re)producing Quality,� it seems we have caused a retro, walnut-stocked tsunami of interest in the M1 Carbine.
