Anyone remember the foreign student who spoke little English? He was invited to a Halloween party, showed up in costume at the house of an elderly couple by mistake and was shot to death because he did not understand that he was being ordered off the property. The couple thought that they were being robbed.

A tragedy for both. But maybe if the husband had not had a gun, he would have shut the door and let the police sort it out.

I am not against the ownership of guns by people who can use them responsibly. If fear, age, illness, anger, etc. are going to cloud your judgement, you have no business owning one.
