The only problem with his line of thinking is that America, and especially the Liberal media, absolutely loves to worship dead victims and vilify anyone willing to defend himself. If one-hundred people stood in line to get stabbed to death, we'd be looking at a national sales tax to fund a new Mt. Rushmore style of monument for them. If one of them had a gun and used it, we'd hear how evil this man was, because the "victim" "only had a knife" and thus was "incapable of inflicting massive carnage" like the now-jailed "attacker" did with his firearm. The one caveat to this is that the media has warm spot for the comical actions of 80-year-old women who will use a broom to shoo-away armed attackers. And as cute as that story would be, they'd LOVE if it she was killed, because "broom-wielding Grandma defeats armed intruder" is a story that leads into a commercial break, whereas "Grandma gunned down while baking cookies" is a lead-off story.
On a side note, I am always somewhat amazed at the people who seem to pick-and-choose when they need to carry a firearm. "Well, I'm need to run out and get coffee, but I have a bad feeling about today, so I need to take a hand cannon with me" -- compared to ANY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK? Maybe those folks don't read the paper...
