But if that woman had a gun, she could have defended herself! That's why we need more guns!
What the gun coddlers don't seem to understand is that if everyone has a gun, then shooting people will replace the next lowest level of angry response. Rather than punching someone in a bar fight, everyone will whip out their pistols and turn the scene into an old-west style shootout. It's a lot easier to kill someone in a brief fit of rage when you're armed with a weapon that can do just that in mere seconds with little hassle.
And that's not even mentioning the fact that in cases like these a gun won't even protect you, because if someone suddenly pulls out a gun and shoots you you'll still be dead regardless of whether or not you were armed. If you want to take drastic measures to end gun deaths, you could at least hand out Kevlar vests instead...
