I know two civilians who used firearms to defend themselves against violent
criminals, in one case without firing a shot, and in one case the person
holding the gun was female and a direct ancestor of mine. Depending on
whether you believe the DOJ or the NRA, somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million
times a year someone in America uses a firearm defensively. Who are you to
tell those people they have no right to self-defense?

One just yesterday in Miami. Dude was out doing some surveying in prep
for starting a Habitat for Humanity house. Three dudes came up and
demanded he give over his stuff and wallet. Pulled a gun, shot one of
them and the rest took off. (No collateral damage, either).
