The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights.

HuffPo Opposite Day 'Progressive': Self-Defense a Human Rights Violation!
News Poll Refutes Mark and Gabby Poll on ‘Terror Watch List’ Gun Ban
I remember years back how one guy found himself on the list for the heinous crime of taking a giant, inflatable pink pig to political rallies to protest government waste! And it’s well-documented how LE “fusion centers” take cues from the subversive SPLC to conflate Oath Keepers with domestic enemies. [More]Leave it to Mark and Gabby to call “shall not be infringed” a “loophole” as they push for due process-free citizen disarmament using polls designed to reach an agenda-supporting conclusion.
Yeah, It's About Like This
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence wants to literally erase the names of mass killers from major web sites.
To do that, the group is releasing a plugin for the Chrome web browser. “You can wipe away the killer’s name and image from your screen, and replace it with something that truly deserves our attention — the victims,” the plugin description says. [More]
It's one thing to not actively perpetuate the name. It's another "progressive" tactic altogether to erase people from history.
Still, if we're truly talking "mass killers," it'll be interesting to see if the plugin commemorates victims when searching, say, for Stalin or Pol Pot. I wonder what results will show if users search for "Muhammad"...

The Math is Staggering
Instances of “defensive gun use” – ie a good guy with a gun who made a difference – accounted for less than 3%.Yeah, I guess if you want to be a typical bloodthirsty "progressive" and use VPC's "Just one gun death per every 32 criminal gun killings" criteria, and ignore valid survey results of DGUs where no shot is fired and everything is resolved with acts of physical aggression thwarted, then, yeah. That way, the liars can misrepresent the complete picture with deceptive headlines and propaganda pieces claiming "New study shows guns rarely used for self-defense."
“The math is staggering,” Bryant said. [More]
It's hardly a "new study," so much as a repackaging of an old steaming pile the antis dig up ever few years for a new audience of unsuspecting marks.

She has a relative who owns several, and she believes if the situation ever gets really serious, her husband can borrow one from him (assuming the relative is willing, someone can make it across town and back with the goods, that they can even figure out how to load whatever they end up with, and have been spared more than a handful of rounds to load it with.)
What better time to learn how to use a gun, and to develop the proper knowledge, skills, discipline and mindset, than at the very last minute, when determined enemies are advancing on your position?

Once Upon a Time...
 |
| And they lived pappily ever after...? |
Their ABC network has a show titled "Once Upon a Time," populated by fairy tale characters as diverse as Rumpelstiltskin, Captain Hook, Snow White, and Pinocchio (and a female lead referred to as "the Savior"), having adventures in places like Neverland, Wonderland, Oz, and, unsurprisingly, hell (or at least Hades' underworld), where consorting with the dead is a way of... uh... life. I mention diversity because Mulan apparently had the hots for Sleeping Beauty (but didn't tell her in time before the prince kissed her awake and they went off to live hetero ever after), and Little Red Riding Hood, who is a werewolf, has recently coupled in "true love" with Dorothy.
You know, kids' fare. So our little princes and princesses can grow up to be just like Miley Cyrus or something.
Sorry, but when Red goes down -- on all fours, I mean -- who but an intolerant, hateful specist would not celebrate the "Beauty and the Beast" potentials? Heck, my first thought, on hearing the damsel in distress was Dorothy, was "Toto too?"
I bring this all up because of the brouhaha the Bradys are trying to create with ignorant "PSAs" killing off popular storybook characters due to "lax gun laws." That appears to be a reaction to "NRA Family" featuring fairy tale favorites saving the day with DGUs.
It's "funny" that one "reimagining" brings "progressive"condemnation, but if you dare to raise an eyebrow at their version, prepare to be included on SPLC's "Hate Watch."

Alice in Blunderland
We talked about this before. Funny-- all that money to produce this and all that free media publicity masked as "news," and the video still has under 30K You Tube views at this writing, with an over 11-to-one "thumbs down" rating. Let me be the first to encourage the Brady Boobs to keep it up and flush even more money away. Better that than using it to more harmful effect.
While I was focused on philosophical observations, WarOnGuns Correspondent Joe homed right in on more practical matters:
David, I've gotta go here. Watch the video again and freeze frame as needed. You have a standard, 1911 Gov't style pistol with the hammer clearly DOWN. It's either in Condition 2 or 3 and CANNOT fire unless "Alice" jacks the slide and / or thumbs the hammer to full cock while depressing the grip safety to fire the first round. She doesn't.
The Brady bunch may have spent a lot of money on visual effects, but I'm gonna stamp this video as a GALACTIC FAILURE.
