Last week a man was killed in California
(where only criminals have unregistered
guns) after he broke into a house and a
ttacked three people there with a hatchet.
Yes, hatchet.

Fortunately one of the three people had a
shotgun in the trunk of his car. The man
made it outside and was able to kill the
intruder.

The homeowners were the mother and father of the
dead man's ex-wife. The man who shot him was
her new boyfriend.

The dead man was out on bail after attacking
the woman previously and was violating a restraining order by coming into contact
with the parents.

What a different story it would have been
if the boyfriend hadn't had access to a gun.

The problem is that there is no real way to
stop people who commit domestic violence. Restraining orders are a joke. The wife/child
beaters get out on bail or they do 2-months
in a county jail and then they're back out.

Yes, it would be nice to live in nirvana
where there is no need for self defense
but look around at the real world.

The people who would be happiest with more gun
restrictions and confiscations are the Mexican
drug cartels because then they'd have a great,
new market = illegal guns and ammunition.

One gun-totting woman's opinion.
