The preponderance of the evidence is that she called Fendry.

[Raycpa]

Using liberal logic it doesn’t matter if its true.

[Louis Foxwell]

It does not matter that she called or did not. The simple fact remains she was killed with no means of protecting herself or her children by a known enemy bent on her death. The mere possibility that she was prevented from doing so by a law blind to her protection is sufficient grounds for terminating that law.

Imagine that the story or anecdote is false. It doesn’t change the logic or the reality one bit. I suspect projection since for liberals the emotional anecdote itself is reason to act, logic be damned.

[pgyanke]

Let’s assume she didn’t call Fendry.

1. She did have a restraining order against a violent husband.
2. She would most likely not merit ongoing police protection.
3. If she needed to defend herself, she would have to arbitrarily wait to buy a gun.
4. She would not have been able to get a gun on short-notice when she became desperate.

True or not... the result is reality.

We must repeal that law!!! (If only ONE LIFE is saved...)

After some consideration, some blame should be considered for the firearms instructor, for the simple reason that her call for advice was likely instead a call for help.

While he didn’t connect the dots, had he done so he shouldn’t have let the woman go during a window of vulnerability. He could have asked her questions and given her advice that might have saved their lives.

Move in with a friend for a couple of days. Or even a motel. Let other members of her family and close friends know that her ex is a dangerous risk, so to be wary around him. Tell the local police the situation and get their advice of what to do.

In effect, if someone tells you something like this, it should be taken as seriously as if they tell you they are contemplating suicide.

I can tell you that, as a mother, I would do anything to protect my children.

This woman may have been afraid of guns but she was, rightfully, terrified of her ex. She would want to learn how to protect herself and her children.

The brother has closed his mind to reality.

In liberal “logic”, planning to defend yourself is the same as planning to murder someone. Maybe waiting will get you to change your mind, or get YOU killed instead!
