Woman Tells Everytown: Quit Using My Sister, A Gun Would Have Saved Her
Breitbart ^ | 02/04/2015 | Awr Hawkins

In 2013, Jessie Doyle Cavett was shot and killed by her estranged husband, Josh Cavett. When Everytown for Gun Safety recently called Jessie’s sister–Jennie Cochran–to get permission to use the story to push gun control, Cochran told them not to use the story “for anything.”

She told Everytown that gun control simply “makes more victims,” and she doesn’t want her sister’s story used to do that.

Speaking to Fox News on February 4, Cochran said the only thing that would have saved her sister was a gun. She said, “There’s no way the police would have gotten there in time had she just dialed 911.”

Cochran explained that her sister’s estranged husband was a felon, so there was no reason to believe he was going to follow gun control laws that prevented him from being armed. She said there was no justification for believing a background check requirement would keep him from getting a gun.

Fox News then played a recording of Everytown for Gun Safety calling to use Jessie’s story....Cochran demurred, giving Wright pause; then Cochran said, “I am actually against it… I am very pro-gun, as is Jessie, so I would really hope you guys don’t use her story for anything.”

Wright said, “Okay,” yet Cochran continued: “Because the only thing that would have saved her was a gun.”

its got to happen....people have to realize that personal safety and the safety of your loved ones does not rely on the cops getting there....the cops can't get "there" to save you.....

we need to fight back, not settle an assault or a killing here and there, a rape, etc....

the animals do not follow the law.....we have to realize that...
