And ? This was what the OP state and from this blog , looks like it was true.
"Your response to an attack has to be proportional to the attack that you are defending yourself from. For example, if a person comes up to you and starts to punch you in the face, you may be justified in punching him back to defend yourself. However, in that same hypothetical, you would not be justified in taking out a gun and shooting your attacker dead."
That quote is not exactly accurate. and it depends on what state you are in. "duty to retreat" is in play in a lot of states. In some states, Duty to Retreat is not necessary if you are in your own home or business or car etc. (Castile Doctcrine)
If you cannot retreat, are being assaulted and you fear for your life, you have a right to defend your life. Deadly force in such situations is allowable. But you better be careful. you had better know the law, and be legal in your possession of a firearm.

...and have insurance for the court cases that will be filed against you by the criminal DOJ and other activist agencies in both criminal and civil courts.
If you own a gun, you really need to have gun owners insurance. Defending your life, even if you are a 100% right will still run around 50k in costs.
That is how evil and corrupt our system is and how they attack 2nd amendment liberties from the back end.
The good thing about not having a gun is your child will never shoot another kid in your home with a gun. Your child won't shoot your wife from the backseat while she is driving. Your father won't shoot your brother who sneaks home late at night.

This right here. It is a very sad fact. I agree NxtGen thank you for pointing this reality out.

Or, you can be smart with your firearms, teach early gun safety and a serious respect for the harm a firearm can produce as well as take extra precautions.
Accidents can happen, but if you look at the majority of the very small number of these incidents, they were preventable by proper training and safety.
Or... you can have an irrational fear of firearms and continue the ignorance by fear mongering.
