I’m for boycotting Pizza Hut… but I’m also for Pizza Hut’s establishing their own rules.
However, the author’s anti-gun stance is misplaced. It’s not about countering guns with guns; it’s about countering criminal behavior with lawful behavior. Defending oneself against a criminal is lawful. Case closed.
The real issue is reducing crime. Rudy Guiliani reduced crime by putting criminals in jail – and not just the high-profile Wall Street types, he put petty thieves in jail.
I think the answer is a combination of building more jails, jailing more and more criminals, repeat. It also must be combined, my opinion, with zero tolerance of police brutality or other transgressions of their duties – lest the perps have a way out… And of course there will have to be some reasonable resolution to the war on drugs such that the criminal element associated with illegal drugs is sufficiently reduced – though that’s another story…
In the mean time, lawful citizens defending themselves – and hopefully killing the criminals in the process – is a good thing.
