Why not a gun-wielding survivor of criminal assault?
So we read that Nancy Pelosi will invite a "gun violence survivor" to attend the SOTU with her. I am sure the Preseident will dutifully note this - perhaps even sit anotehr next to his wife.
My only question is why not bring a gun owner who successfully used their firearm to defend against a criminal assault? Perhaps a young mother who used her handgun to defend herself and her children? Perhaps the teacher in Detroit who protected himself? Perhaps the resrouces officer wo prevented a potential school massacre in Atlanta? Any one out there in congress who might like to show that not all gun owners and guns are evil, and demonstrate, as the research shows, that guns are used more often to protect against crime than they are to commit crime?
Someone, somehow, needs to show the other side of this story.
