10. You have to be more subtle than this.

Nice try to show how far many anti-gunners go to demonize guns, but when you go over the top like this everyone figures out that you are a pro-gunner just looking to make the other side look bad. Either tone it down or add a sarcasm icon.

On the slight chance that you are serious, three armed men break into a guy's house and your take is that the victim (the home owner, not the armed robber) did not show enough restraint when confronted with 3 intruders inside of his house within inches of him. Any hesitation would immediately tip the advantage back to the 3 versus 1. That the victim only shot one and did not pursue the men three blocks down the street spraying shots shows more than enough restraint for anyone who just had gone through literally a life and death, split second decision.

Can't wait to read your take on rape victims who wore too short of dresses.
