I see the unlimited gun rights advocates have once again stuck their heads underwater without assistance:
It was the latest example of Virginia Democrats being singled out for their support of gun control. [WaPo]
As I noted in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, being armed guarantees nothing. In this particular case, she would have scrabbled after her hypothetical gun in her purse and been shot for her troubles. Along with the kids. Or had her head rammed into the side of the car, if the carjacker was feeling generous that day.
To assume being armed stops the bad guys is to indulge in a peculiarly vicious type of delusion.
