It would be helpful to know how many murders are prevented each year by these gun owners - like the recent example of the mother who pumped 5 out of 6 shots of her revolver into an assailant - protecting herself and 3 children I believe.
Yes, it would be helpful to know that - but in the nature of things it is not a number which is readily accessible. First because any braggart can claim to have prevented a crime by showing off some hardware - and second because journalism is utterly uninterested in any story which makes law-abiding citizens seem able to fend for themselves rather than being dependent on the government. The first reason excuses the second reason, and . . .But even lacking that specific data, what we can say is that although most Democrats are law-abiding, the people who are not law-abiding are concentrated in Democrat-dominated ethnic groups. As one might expect of people who believe it’s good to promote violation of the Tenth Commandment. And among whom the very mention of God is controversial.
In that context, how surprising is it really when they oppose the ability of honest men to enforce the law?
