The Role Of Guns In Home Defense

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has vetoed legislation that would allow people protected under a court order to carry a hidden handgun without getting a permit.
McAuliffe, a Democrat, said Friday that the bill “perpetuates the dangerous fiction” that domestic violence victims would be safer if they were armed. Democrats have generally opposed the bill, saying it would encourage victims of abuse to introduce guns into already dangerous situations.
Because the controllers would rather innocent people be harmed or killed than allow means of self defense. But here McAuliffe has said something important. It’s fashionable right now for the gun controllers to parrot this notion that it’s a fiction, a myth, just outright falsehood, that guns actually help in self defense.
They will cite some questionable statistics taken from the inner cities of, say, Chicago, Atlanta or St. Louis, where blacks are killing blacks, to try to convince you or others that you shouldn’t have a gun. But you’re not in inner city Chicago or Atlanta, and you are an otherwise peaceable man or woman. So there argument doesn’t apply to you.
Speaking of which, there is this report from Tennessee.
A homeowner was transported to NorthCrest Medical Center Saturday morning with minor injuries after defending his residence from the armed suspects who invaded it.
According to Springfield Police, around 2 a.m., three men armed with guns entered a residence on the 800 block of Kings Drive and demanded money. Once inside, one of the homeowners fired one round at the suspects from a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, according to police. The suspects returned fire as they fled the residence and fired a shot back at the homeowner, striking him in the hand.
The suspects are described as three black men between 18 and 20 years of age wearing bandannas.
There are many reports just like this every day. And Terry McAuliffe and his ilk are all liars in the superlative degree.
