Interesting Nick. This is neither a pro-gun nor an anti-gun thread. What's your opinion on the little girl having to save herself from a very determined intruder????
I would accept this, if you had low crime rates - but that's not the case. Statistically, the only thing guns do, is cause shootings.
Sure, we've got our share of ill people. But I can't imagine how guns would save those kids.
In the lack of complete info, we should choose the most probable scenario.
Which only reassures my point that the absolutely best way for the girl to protect herself, would be to run away. Guns are not guaranteed to stop a man, especially a huge man, shot by a little girl.
You are so naive it's not even funny anymore.
For starters, what does a huge man shot by a little girl have to do with any thing. Little girl doesn't indicate the size of the round.
Second, so you want a little girl, to run away from a "huge man". Of course, that is why everyone in track in the olympics is a 12 year old speed demon.
And Third, How do you run away if she is on the 2nd floor, or if there is no escape.

You're "solutions" aren't so cut and dry.
It's not expected to be coherent, simply the frustrated sputterings of a far-left idealist, the type to which concepts of individualism and self-determination are foreign and even frightening.
Thousands of children perish more by choking on food, drowning in pools, and persihing in car crashes. Its time to outlaw solid food, deep swimming pools, and automobiles. Then we can all be safe and hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Surely criminals will never have guns then, and we can all be one big happy family!
So 3,000 children being killed and 17,000 being injured by guns every year in the US is just a reasonable acceptable price to pay for one child successfully defending herself with a gun, maybe?
As to you second point about criminals never having guns. Thats a very real possibility. There are many countries where it is so hard for anyone to get a gun, that there is really no supply of guns for criminals to get their hands on. The results are usually a much lower rate of violent crime.

My opinion is that she was very, very lucky. Because for every child like her, there are over 3,000 children being killed and over 17,000 being injured by guns every year. Which means that she way over came the odds. She was far more likely to shot herself then the intruder.
I can't believe anyone is sticking up for the robber or faulting the girl/parents. When are idiots going to learn not to break into other people's houses? The guy deserved what he received.
That's what happens when you have idiots posting....and it is proven here in this very thread.....she should have ran out of the house....blah blah blah....I still stand by my statement....there should have been no witnesses......
They wanted to charge the mother for neglect.....
