Oh and if she had shot her husband, fatally or otherwise, to stop his deadly assault it would have indeed been yet another indication of the effectiveness of guns for personal protection. How would it not have been?

I agree. That was sarcasm, and I forgot to use the quotes to indicate it:

Next Sugarman counters an "outrageous" hypothetical. Is it possible that Hain might have thought her self-defense handgun effective had she survived the attack by using it? Based on 25 years of debate, he thinks she may have. Obviously, she should be condemned for that hypothetical as well.

It's not outrageous.
