192. Narrow thinking= on your part

The domestic violence element of the discussion can be argued many ways. More women are beaten than are killed. If this man was determined to kill her, then he most likely would have found a way- gun or no gun. However, if the man in Florida that confronted the teens blasting their music had not been armed, I don't think he would have "stood his ground" up close and personal. I think he would have gotten back in his vehicle and left. I think the other Florida shooter would not have followed the teen with his Skittles and tea so closely, if he was not armed. I think he too would have gotten back into his vehicle and called the police again- if he was not armed. I am not arguing the merits of these cases , the facts are not all in, but to say that it is just a "people" problem is simplistic and defensive. I have guns in my home. I used to have venison every winter. But if the gun lobby does not enter into serious discussion about these tragedies- and the many incidents that do not make national news, there may come a time when they lose their support.
