Several years back, when I still visited a neighborhood bar for a few beers with buds, there was an interesting conversation regarding a shooting at a nearby service station. A robber showed up brandishing a knife, cutting a customer to get the clerk's attention, demanding money in the register and that the clerk open the 'night safe'. The clerk reached under the counter and brought up a .357 Python and blew the fool to hell with two roundsbefore the fool hit the floor dead as a door nail. Consensus of the buds was that the clerk saved the taxpayers perhaps hundreds of thousands and future criminal acts by the fool waving the buck knife. I still feel that way even though democrats in Tennessee have raised their fool PC heads to try and make the populace dislike handguns and become sheepishly dependent upon the LEOs (some of whom were among the buds having a beer back then) to protect us, knowing the LEOs arrive after the criminal(s) have caused death and havoc. We Volunteers still believe in self-defense and will extend that defense to our fellow citizens, if they need it. I do grow tired of the hoops liberals can create though.

Those Python bites can be nasty. My dad carried one for years before his department switched to Berettas in the late ‘80s.

That's it, right there. Gun control makes the criminal defense lawyers rich and gives the State something to do, while at the same time we the people are made defenseless.

It's a win-win situation for them.
