They prevent the strong from dominating the weak or elderly. A 70 year old woman has absolutely no chance of winning a fist fight with a 22 year old man, but put a gun in her hand and she is now at absolute parity with her attacker even if he is armed. In areas where law enforcement is minimal to non existent and response times to a 911 call might be measured in hours, effective self defense requires a gun. Its a basic fact of life and something that the Bloombergs and Feinsteins will never understand.</blockquote>
