Quick Thought On NYC Shooting

In all the coverage, and the breathless talk of the new and improved security measures, one point keeps getting missed.

No one there had the chance to defend themselves, or to exercise their responsibilities as a Citizen to protect and defend others. The only person armed, other than police, was the shooter. Think on that a bit, and think on the fact that some two million times a year armed Citizens stop such things from happening. If you have not read The Bias Against Guns you really need to do so.

Despite your terse and pithy argument can you imagine how proponents of gun control would use three to four times as many words to explain how that could NOT have happened had stricter gun control been in place? Another case of digging one's grave even deeper.
