because guns, even the one that harmed him, can be used for self defense - a natural right.

Think about it... without those evil guns what would happen to that mother and her 11yr old son if they criminals happened upon them? A mother and a child probably don't stand much of a chance in combat/defense against henadful of middle-aged male assailants. VERY Rarely do young boys or women beat grown men in physical combat and even less often when outnumbered. Should they just submit to the will of the criminals? We have read numerous stories about criminals dispatching of victims even when they complied. Surely, logic suggests one should not lay faith in someone commiting an act of violence and crime against them.

The firearm is the best leveler of all time. It's the one tool that puts elderly ladies on the same level of force as murderers, rapists, and theives. This story is living proof of that fact - an 11yr old boy was able to run off grown men attempting to attack his mother.

Please... elaborate how the defensive use of firearms or the people who champion for the right to lawfully bear them are connected with child pornography? You're fucked up in the head, you know?
