It has seemed odd to me that even after Ronald Reagan was shot he defended to right to keep and bear arms.casselthief wrote:after being shot at, I have both remained steadfast that guns are good, in the right hands. and that if I had posessed one that night, those four thugs would not terrorize anyone else, ever again.
so, in conclusion, you don't need to be a victim, but it steels your resolve!!
and an anti-gun person could just see that as a reason to not allow guns, because the thug had a gun.
OTOH, After Jim Brady married Sarah, She got the "Brady Bill" passed through Clinton.
Very opposite reactions.
