[QUOTE="brett636, post: 954518, member: 249"] Thats a rather broad and ignorant statement, but given the source I am not surprised. As you may have heard before the saying "God created man, Sam Colt made them equal" really holds a lot of truth when it comes to firearms. A gun allows an individual who is either outnumbered or out matched by an attacker to level the playing field. Is a grandmother who uses her concealed revolver to stop a muscle bound street thug from causing her bodily harm a coward? Is a woman living alone who uses her gun to stop a would be rapist a coward? Of course not because in either of these situations these individuals simply could not match their assailants on a physical level, and would be just another crime statistic. I know you will say that they just need to move to a better neighborhood, but let me allow you in on a little secret and that is the fact that there is no such thing as a zero crime neighborhood. I don't care if you live in a gated community or the ghetto crime can and will happen anywhere at anytime. [/QUOTE]
