I will tell you that I am amazed that a few here would spend such effort to ridicule what, to me at least, appears to be a logical question.
Who wouldn't want to be able to protect himself or herself when faced with the scary and real possibility of coming into contact with a terrorist who had just killed several people?
What is the alternative? Offer the perp some cookies and reruns of Scooby Doo in hopes he'll chill out until the cops get there?
In which scenario would you feel safer?
Is it sick and twisted to want to protect yourself and your family?
For us this is just pushing words around on a virtual page. But for them, that was real. It was happening. Surely there was fear. Surely there were some who didn't have a gun in their home who wished they had.
This is reality. Human nature. Nothing wrong with it.
