My own personal experience..
When I was 14 I stopped a very violent rape in progress with a rifle. The attacker was beating the girl in the grass on my property. He was a huge man who was a championship boxer (He was a n'er do well neighbor a few houses down the road). Without the rifle I would have had no chance whatsoever of stopping him. After pummeling her in the face several times, he pulled down her pants and was taking his off when I fired into the ground about 5 feet in front of him and to the side.
If he had decided to charge me I would have killed him, I'm quite sure. He was wise not to risk it. Another neighbor, and elderly man, heard the shot and came out with a pistol while his wife called the police. The police showed up in 20 minutes or so. He was arrested and sent to prison. While simply calling the cops would have caught the guy, as I recognized him, it wouldn't have saved the girl from a mentally scarring rape nor saved her from additional horrendous blows to her head.
So how does that fit with the "more restrictions crowd?"
