I’m sure many well-meaning ahem conservatives believe less guns will equal less violent deaths. I don’t believe it..in fact, if more women were armed, there’d be less of them murdered. And if one person had stood up and started firing back at Holmes, I’ll bet that piece of filth would have messed his pants trying to get away.
I'll share a little secret with you- if wierdos even slightly suspect that a woman might be armed, they will depart very quickly. My wife has put the fear of S&W into more than one just by putting her right hand in her purse. Didn't have to show anything.
