An excerpt from the Daily News, 10/7/07 brings home the horrors that anti gun groups and their supporters make possible when they succeed in disarming honest citizens.
A shirtless madman wielding stolen knives went on a bloody midtown rampage yesterday - stabbing a restaurant worker and a psychologist walking her dog before being shot by an off-duty cop, authorities said.
Deranged Lee Coleman stood wild-eyed over the dog-walker, methodically plunging a knife into her body and face over and over - even pausing to change knives as the woman lay in a pool of blood, screaming for help.
"He was chopping down on her," said Andrew Fink, 29, who was getting into a cab when the attack took place. "I saw him hit her at least 10 times. She was screaming and crawling along the street and people were running away.
Not everyone would have been running away if something like this occurred in one of the majority of States that allow their citizens to carry concealed weapons. This was an easy crime for an armed citizen to stop almost immediately after it began. However, no one without a weapon is going to stop a criminal wielding a weapon.
Police cannot be everywhere at once. Your fellow citizens pretty much are.
