"Shoulda Coulda Woulda"

This would be funny if it weren’t so serious. The mother of a gunman who tried to rob a store and got shot to death for his trouble, bemoans the fact that the store he tried to rob with his gun was not a “gun-free zone,” so there wouldn’t be a chance for the store clerk to defend himself. She wants tom make it easier for her criminal son to kill them. These parents are really angry that the intended victim was allowed to be armed, completely forgetting, of course, that their son WAS also armed, illegally. Mom said, “If there was to be a death, it was not the place of an employee at Pizza Hut. It was the place of the police.” Oh, yeah—when they finally arrived, long after a pizza place employee had been shot and killed by their son! Some people have strange ways of thinking. To bemoan someone being able to legally carry a gun for self defense because he killed a robber who was using a gun illegally is really stupid. But they’re too damned stupid to know that. It’s too bad for the robber that one of his intended victims was armed, and could defend himself. Maybe Mom should have taught her son better. Those parents should be slapped down for even thinking that way. People have a right to defend themselves against people like her son, who just ignore laws they don’t like. You point a gun at someone, you take your chances. He lost. (Bearing Arms)
