If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
(Ted Joans)
The events themselves illustrate an event with a desirable outcome. They perpetrators could have gotten out and beaten or killed the old lady but in this case they didn’t. The gun nut element will always use this type of anecdote as proof that gun proliferation is the answer to crime and the best form of self defence. There has not been any empirical evidence to show that you are safer in such a situation with a gun for self defence that without one.
The detrimental effects of widespread gun proliferation are easier t point out however.
