No kidding. If there is an example state for WHY GUN CONTROL LAWS DON'T WORK it is New York. What would have worked in this instance, would have been (intended) victims WITH GUNS.
Instead of saying, "What are you going to do, shoot us?" It could have been a defensive position with a 9mm semi drawn and aimed. But liberals, including DuFresne's mother, continue to blame guns instead of the wimp perp criminal as in this case.
Not to mention the fact that with legal concealed carry, the murderer may have never attempted to mug with impunity in the first place!!
