Not, as colleague Kurt Hofmann noted in a recent JPFO Alert, rights should be dependent on such number-crunching – but what is significant here is the antis always couch that argument by saying more people are killed with guns than kill their assailants with guns.

That’s because, as this incident reflects, good people often resolve such situations with the mere presentation of a gun, without firing a shot.
Besides, statistics only matter when you consider yourself part of the collective and subsume your rights under the umbrella of whatever is best for the collective, decided, of course, by the rulers. As for the woman, good for her, although I would have shot enough times to kill the would-be assailant.
