Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)"Who needs a gun in a laundrymat" / "My car can be replaced" [View all]
Two of the most common memes of the gun control crowd: "Who needs a gun in a (bank/store/park/church/office/laundrymat)?" and, "I won't shoot someone over my (car/stereo/wallet/etc.)"
Here's a woman who was in the laundry room of her apartment when some teens attempted to rob her. Since she wasn't armed (who needs a gun in the laundry room; obviously she didn't live in fear like a rude toter), and since her property wasn't worth anyone's life, she handed over her keys (just give them what they want; the car can be replaced).
When they took the stolen car keys and went out to the car, they realized it was a stick and they couldn't drive it.
Angry, the three returned to the laundry room, where Langley and at least one other person raped and sodomized the woman, court documents said. Later, they forced her to a nearby apartment, where they attacked and robbed her friend, a 47-year-old man.
In the apartment, Langley and another one of the teens continued to assault the woman and forced her friend to perform a sexual act on the woman, court documents said.
The attackers threatened to have a gang leader return and kill them if they went to the police, court documents said.

The assailants were 15, 16, and 19.
This woman followed all the "rules" of giving in to the criminals to prevent violence, and we see how it worked out. Now does she have a right to "live in fear" and become a rude toter, polluting society with her death spewer?
