Well, since you're the one who posted that the "moral of this story" is more good guys with more guns, you're the one making the argument that it would have saved this guy's life. Now you've just admitted that your pronouncement for more guns has nothing to do with "this story". Chalk up another point for anti-gunners having an example of a gun owner screaming for more guns regardless and in ignorance of everything else.
I'll try your tactic at my Home Owners Association meeting. When the discussion turns to landscape fees, I'll scream out "Save the Whales!". I'm sure they'll get my point.
SMH... Sometimes I wonder why I bother to post what should be a rather innocuous comment here. There's a few in every crowd, I suppose.
