What a lot of this boils down to is this: If someone is breaking into your home, what kind of self-defense weapon will you pick up? A broom? A baseball bat? Knife? All of those are "close encounters" weapons - your burglar has to get close enough to you for you to do anything. And worse, if you're like most people, you aren't in good enough physical shape to actually cause any harm. They'll just take whatever it is away from you and beat you to death with it.

Is it somehow "morally superior" for a woman to be raped and then strangled with her own pantyhose? Or is it better that she have a way to defend herself that will stop an attacker before it gets that far?

Is this the right tactic for the NRA to take? Ref. Source 3

NRA Guns Truth The

I like the NRA and the stance they are taking. It is not the responsible gun owners who are causing guns to have a bad name. It is the bad people or the bad elements that are causing the issues with guns. If we can get rid of all the illegal guns off the streets maybe it would be a safer place.
