So, how would this have been better if the good guy was unarmed, as you would have them?
Your imaginary "harmless criminal" just would have just taken all their "stuff" and peacefully walked away? (Never mind that the dead guy already had a record of shooting his robbery victims, maybe this time would be different, right?)
Trusting to the tender mercies of a violent criminal with a record doesn't really appeal to anyone but a few self aggrandizing people on the interwebz spewing out free advice.
But thanks for being our designated Gun Control "Fan" for today.
And, like most gun control supporters, keep up the good work ... from the couch. Wednesday of this week we'll have between 8,000 and 10,000+ gun owners in the State Capitol. Marching and meeting with our legislators on Illinois gun laws.
Sooooo ... how many gun control people do you think will be there to counter that? Maybe 20 or 30, that Bloomberg writes checks to like Shannon Watts Inc.?
Oh and that "once in a blue moon situation" runs to 600,000+ every year, according to the CDC, higher for other sources.
