You really have to love Maryland sometimes.

That's because in states like Maryland, you know, where this story is from (not to mention most cities in the US with a population over 500,000), the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS have a lock hold on the legal and political system and are UNABLE to change the laws.

But by all means, blame the other guys for not changing the laws when Liberals have the majority in the area and refuse to allow the laws to be changed.
 
I can just see that Fredneck painter now, "This damn liberal state won't let me carry my guns, so I'm gonna pack a Medieval Style Battle Axe. That'll learn 'em."
 
that is why we design the laws the way we do

peasants don't understand concepts such as dodging, blocking and the difficulty of wielding large blades

so he thought it was just a lethal as a gun, and because of that, a life was saved
 
You seem to think a person who is attacking another with a axe is worth the injury to the other person as long as the criminal is not injured.

THINK OF THE CRIMINALS
 
A car alarm doesn't make your locks unbreakable or your glass shatterproof.
Homeowners insurance doesn't create a force field during a tornado.
Performing backups doesn't prevent your hard drive from a cascading failure.


By carrying a gun he makes the criminal not immune to bullets.

Equalization of force.
 
Read the story again. The guy used an ax, not a gun. If he had used a gun, the victim would've died or gotten seriously injured. Another blow for pro-gun law supporters.
 
Equalization of force

When seconRAB count, the police are only minutes away!
On the other hand, even subsonic .22 caliber rounRAB or a slap of buckshot as in this article are faster than calling 911 while cowering for your life.


Equalization of force. What kind of 60-something woman can match up against a band of healthy young Mexicans? A 60-something woman with a SHOTGUN!
 
Now they're in prison, where they have a safe, structured environment, hot meals, showers, and a bed and pillow. They'll be kept safely away from those evil assault-weapon-wielding grannies.
 
cause psychologically its a lot easier to squeeze a trigger from a distance than kill someone in melee corabat (termed "sexual range"). Also, blunt weapons like clubs and maces are easier to use psychologically versus sharp, stabbing weapons like knives and spears (according to "On Killing..")
