re: #21 Political Atheist

I cannot possibly deal with judging unique actions by their outcomes.

I’m not calling the dad a bad guy. I’m saying that firing at someone who’s running away and then saying “I think I hit him” is not indicative of someone who had great confidence in the shot.

Nobody is debating that incidents of people protecting themselves with guns exist. Citing them is emotional, but doesn’t have anything to do with policy. If people didn’t realize that violent crime actually existed, then this would be informative, but as it is, nobody denies that guns can be useful in some circumstances.
