Can there be a chair with someone sitting in it who would not be alive if a gun were unavailable?
I could sit in it , my brother could , a couple of other people I know could.
And one person I knew is absent because she prepared her defense with a restraining order rather than something effective , like the pistol that ended her life.
She also had a knife , she showed me.
I wish she could have had a pistol , but she and I had jobs in a strictly enforced gun free zone.
So if she had one , she could not have had it in her car or on her person if she was going or returning from work.
Can I call enforcement of vulnerability un-American?
