And please do more research on your position. Explore the many books
out there which will give you both sides. It will amaze you. (It sure
did me.)

It's easy to quote some of the cases where someone has used a gun to
protect themselves from from some drug crazed person.

I've never once said that guns haven't been useful in those cases
where one needs to project themselves. But, consider your example of
the woman defending herself? In reality, it's much more likely that
the druggy is the one who is going to have (and use) a gun, an easily
obtained gun. ~ A gun that was stolen from someone else who just
wanted to protect themselves.

Umm, that story WAS reality, that woman saved her life through the
defensive use of a firearm. Your world would have denied her that ability
and she would have wound up dead whether by firearm or by blunt force trauma
(as the counter-example provided in the same posting illustrated), but dead
none the less.
