[The American people — a lot of them — responded by buying guns. Gun sales surged in the wake of the shooting. Apparently people see themselves standing in a shopping mall, taking dead aim on a gunman who’s spraying the place with bullets, and bringing him down with a single shot. Lots of luck with that. Life seldom imitates Clint Eastwood movies. Even when it does, you rarely get to be Clint. ]

Statistics don’t lie when it comes to the many times an armed victim has turned the tables on a home invader or other assailant threatening their lives.
