Guarded by police, woman slain

This story is about a woman who filed a domestic abuse report, and the police who waited outside her home to try to catch (alive) the man who had been threatening her.

The man who somehow managed to get into her home and stab her to death, was shot by the police who were waiting outside. The police had guns. If the police hadn't had guns, the woman's attacker would still be alive today.

Although, if anyone regrets the woman's death, then maybe we need to outlaw knives as well. After all, what other use for knives is there except to kill women.

We all know that if the woman had had a gun, she probably would have shot her attacker. We all know the reason for keeping guns out of the hands of innocent victims is to provide a safe working environment for criminals. We all know people protecting themselves leads to lawlessness and should be prevented at all costs.

So the loss of a few lives is a small price to pay to make sure that we can't defend ourselves when attacked.
