David Small, a lawyer and professor at Canterbury University in Christchurch, says it's a question of what's reasonable in a country where guns are important for hunting and pest control. "There is nothing reasonable about owning a gun whose main purpose is self-defense," he says.

So after the death toll at the second mosque was reduced because a victim fired back with a self defense weapon, this lawyer thinks it would have been preferable if the victim had been unarmed against the murderer.

Crazy, eh?

It reminds me of this old quote, one of many, that I have used over the years.

Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

In regards to the idea of self defense...

I would say that if it were not for self defense , none of us would be here , alive today.
We use self defense every day :
Wearing a seatbelt...
Looking both ways before crossing the street...
Not using the toaster , while showering...:D

Is no different than :
Being situational aware...
Locking the house doors...
Being prepared to use a firearm...

Any of the above examples are "self defense" as in they are actions that keep one safe and alive.
Sorry for the thread drift...

AKA: self preservation. (but it does seems to be slipping a might in this day and age of "smart" devices.)
 
again shootings in other countries that stir up the ANTI'S that will affect our AMERICAN laws while the democrat socialist CONTINUE TO IGNORE BLACKS KILLING BLACKS AT A WHOLESALE LEVEL here in our civilized SANCTUARY cities....

Blacks are acceptable losses to the democrat party, the party leaders called them the Jungle Vote!


TALK ABOUT RACIST!
 
Even though there is both literally and figuratively a "Fire Department" available to serve me and my property,
I will NEVER turn in my self-defense "fire extinguisher".
