An attempt to ban EFFECTIVE self-defense is an attempt to ban self-defense.This case has several factors. It is not a effort to ban self defense, but a attempt to ban carry, and using a firearm for self defense. On top of that add Jackson and Sharpton trying to stay relevant in this day and age after Obama stole their thunder. And alas it is political because of those who cater to the ultra liberal base.
Of course I've said for a long time that anti-gunners don't mind women defending themselves from rape... so long as the method used is:
- unlikely to succeed.
- is likely to result in serious injury or death to the victim.
A lot of anti-gunners seem to view a savage beating as foreplay.
They have a lot LESS sympathy for the physical safety of male victims of criminal violence.
