It is because some have bought into the fact that a piece of paper will protect you, and they have listened to the liberal press and gov't officials who preach that "Guns kill people" and that the police are there to protect you! That's why things like this happen and most folks don't want to be bothered with learning to defend themselves be it because their too busy or just lazy!
It's hi-time people learned that nobodys going to help them when they're in trouble! The police are overburdened enough as it is without worrying about a wrongful death suit by another disgruntled ex-spouse who only wanted to be left alone and not see anyone get hurt.
Some of us here have seen the evil man can do and learned from it! But unfortunatly most have not and those continue to believe that evil can be stopped by paper or words. Dale
