For those "liberals" who believe that their fellow citizens should be deprived of the right to carry weapons for self defense, here's a not-so-happy Mother's Day story:

"A group of moms with their kids seemed like an easy target for one armed robber. How wrong he was... Security cameras captured the moment when a young [black] man pulled out his gun when approaching a group of parents with kids on the sidewalk. Terrified mothers can be seen rushing away and hiding in cars to protect their children. Suddenly a [white] woman in a pink T-shirt pulls out a gun and shoots the robber. As he lies on the road she then approaches him, kicking his gun out of his reach before retrieving it herself... The woman was later identified as an off-duty policewoman, who was accompanying her seven-year-old daughter to a school event devoted to Mother’s Day in Sao Paulo, Brazil."

The "gun crime" rate in the US, including occasional mass shootings in public spaces, would be greatly reduced if more citizens were armed, trained and ready to respond. That includes mothers walking their kids to school, alone in a parking lot, or sitting at home. Boom! Done. Give the lady a combat medal and a large cash reward.
