No, my comments were general and nothing about any individual story.
Rephrase it the other way: Why does mom need a gun? It mom didn't have a gun, a whole little parade of crimes wouldn't have happened. Where would the guns on the street come from if they were not being sold to the public at large? The dudes in the hood with 2 felony convictions aren't buying guns at Wal-Mart, but they have them. The "problem" that gun owners point to was created in the most part by gun owners themselves. Sort of like people complaining about the price of gas and driving around in a 5MPG hummer.

You are perfectly welcome to do exactly what you want. Why do you seek control over my actions?
Perhaps a life under the thumb of the crown has warped you?

How many crimes prevented because of gun ownership? Are you kidding? For the most part, any crime prevented usually ends up in bloodshed or death.
"I shot him because I thought he was trespassing... but it was really the newspaper delivery guy coming early". Most people feel incredibly safe with a gun, but rarely if ever actually use it for it's intended purpose. Most often, they appear to be used to impress your friends, make your dick seem larger, and to have around so your son can sell it for drugs later.
