THEORY OF GUN CONTROL MEETS REALITY OF CRIME
*** begin quote ***
A May 15 story in The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) serves as a good reminder of how a person’s support for gun control often changes after a personal experience with crime. State Representative Michael DeBose (D-12) of Cleveland was an opponent of Right-to-Carry, having voted against the measure twice. All that changed on the night of May 1, when he was confronted by two men, one of whom was wielding a gun. On that night, Rep. DeBose’s sense of security in his neighborhood changed, as did his view on lawful citizens being able to defend themselves.
*** end quote ***
Now it’s like the old jokes we hear. “I’m assertive; she’s pushy.”
“I can defend myself; you are a victim”.
