PGreen.....I am curious...I have a thread up about a woman who was murdered by an ex boyfriend, with a gun, in a gun free zone...Nordstroms....I am wondering...since it had been going on for a year, and during that time he broke some of her ribs and stuck a gun in her mouth and with this...the police couldn't stop him, and had she had a restraining order she would still be dead...since he was willing to murder her and himself....
What would you do to help this woman if you don't think she needed a gun to stop this nut? Not one gun grabber will answer that question...and since you want that woman to be disarmed...what should she have done to save her own life since this falls into my rule number 3 for reasons to own a gun.....#3 When the government, can't or won't protect you....?
Will you be that wise gun grabber and explain why you don't want women in this situation to have a gun....?
Wrong question.
The question is not why she "needs" a gun to stop this nut. The question is why this nut "needs" a gun to be one.
Well, the nut will use a hammer, or a knife, or an axe or any of a whole host of weapons if he can't get a gun. The worst domestic killing in New York is still the asshole who lit a gallon of gas in the entrance of a nightclub and murdered 70 odd people.
An asshole who is intent on murder is going to do so. The proper idea is to let those who are the targets at least have a chance to save themselves don't you think? I guarantee you that the innocents burned to death were probably not thinking "thank god he didn't have a gun!"
