Roger that.
So if she would have done all those things above in your quote, she would have shot the hell out of that 15-year old kid and lived to see another day with her child.
How the hell can this be twisted to insinuate or allege that because she didn't do all those things that that is why she is dead?
Errm, ok.
And what guarantee is there that if she had been armed, that A) She would have had the gun on her at that very precise moment? B) What guarantee is there that she would have had a quicker reaction time than the 15-year old? C) If she did indeed have a quicker reaction time, what's to say she would have hit him? D) If she did indeed react quicker, what's to say the gun didn't mis-fire?
So you see, just because the almighty gun laws allow you to carry and defend yourself at home, doesn't guarantee you safety. Sure, sure, it increases the chance of you repelling an attack, but i'm arguing that your point that IF the woman had her own gun then that would or could have been a better outcome.
Unless i am mis-reading your post.
I hope i am.
As for your argument about her living in a false sense of security and with her especially unsafe circumstances?
It's a shame that that woman, and indeed all of us can't live day to day without ------- exes and 15-year old would-be-wanna-be assassins that don't give a ---- about life.
Yea, yea, the arguement about "get a reality check dood, the world is a cold harsh place" argument is tiring, neeext.
Pity her for living in a false sense of security and living in unsafe circumstances.
Pity her for not carrying a gun and taking self-defense classes (God knows what self defense classes would have done when someone stands there pulling a trigger from a shotgun).
