Guns are bad
If you recall, some dude shot up his family and himself a week or so ago. Obviously, the problem was the gun store he bought the gun at, because no one who was willing to wait the week to get his gun would have been willing to drive a little bit further to some other gun store, and lives would've been saved, if only that gun store wasn't there.
No, I'm not going to talk about this completely sensible and realistic explanation. Instead, I'm going to point to a Dorothy Snodgrass quote:
And I must not overlook Deborah Cloudwalker's letter espousing her novel theory that carrying guns in self-defense is the only thing that can "equalize a small, weak woman against a large strong man." She forgot to add the words "carrying a gun." I would remind Deborah that not all small, weak women consider guns an appropriate means of defense—only women with small, weak minds! Don't leave us hanging! What do small, weak women who have big, strong minds consider an appropriate means of defense? Psychic blasts?
