(15,882 posts)a week before. Is stalked by a couple guys with screw drivers who start to open her front door by force, where by that time she is huddling in her bedroom with her baby and a shotgun. She is on the phone with police dispatchers, asked them what to do. They told her to protect her life, and when the little bastards started coming through her front door, she did.

There are tens of millions of families who live outside of any possible timely help, and we will be long gone before anyone ever gets their guns. And rightly so.
But are there too many out there? Probably. But as we vacuum those up, maybe we should start showing people that human life is valuable, by investing in jobs and adult training as a nation, or quit lying about it. The objective is to stop people from shooting each other, not take away the guns (well, for people who want progress instead of busy work it should be).
