Yes, it is a violent state. But luckily those of us who are non-violent are allowed to defend ourselves, as opposed to places like Wisconsin where the government tells us it is our duty as good obedient citizens to be victims.
If anything, I would say the Mayor of Milwaukee is showing superior leadership skills through leading by example!
A gun is 22 times more likely to kill/wound a family member than to ward off an attacker.
Don't be condesending. I know what the stats are. I grew up in Massachusetts and while I didn't see lot of gun violence, I have seen people get badly hurt in assaults. I know a guy who was kicked in the head with steel toe boots and has brain damage as a result. He didn't fight back. This happened before the police came.
My point was that people have a right to defend themselves. Maybe a gun isn't always the best way, but it is one way. Doing something before the police show up can help.

This is my little friend who goes everywhere with me, and is there to keep me company if I need him before the cops come. Too bad the Mayor of Milwaukee doesn't have as good of friends as I do...
Perhaps, but a car is more likely to kill than anything else.
Isn't it high time we outlawed cars for the sake of the children?
Cars (or motorized transport) are a necessity, guns aren't.
