35. Silence speaks loudly

The inability to support a victim who defends herself is the perfect illustration of the moral bankruptcy of the gun control movement. To gun control zealots this girl is not a victim but the aggressor. The gun determines who is the victim regardless of circumstances.

That outlook is what places the Boston bombers on the list of "victims of gun violence" right beside the children of Sandy Hook. The blind hated of guns, which carries over to those who own them, leads such zealots to ignore the circumstances of the action. In their eyes a teenager protecting herself from an intruder is no different from a common street criminal robbing the local convenience store at gunpoint.

To repeat Mr. Quander's point, "It is better to be a victim". There is no concern for keeping innocent people from becoming victims, only in preventing someone, be they criminal or terrorist, from becoming a victim of gun violence.

"You'll heal"
