And THIS is why Liberals are psychotically anti-gun. Self defense is unacceptable to a Liberal because it involves some level of courage. Gutless Liberals, instead, shriek that the "state" (i.e. other people) protect them.
Ditto for the Vietnam "anti-war movement." There was NEVER an anti-war movement. There was a I Refuse to be Put in Danger Defending My Country Movement. When the draft ended in 1973 all "anti-war protests" vansihed even though the war lasted another two years. After the communists conquered South Vietnam and slaughted twenty million people in SE Asia, the Left was utterly silent. It wasn't THEM who were being murdered, after all.
Stinking cowards.
