If Only They Had A Gun

A 20-year-old Morgan Hill, California woman has been charged in connection with a double homicide in Mountain View, police said. Victoria Frances Thompson is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder stemming from the June 28 murder of Omar Aquino, 24, and his 27-year-old sister Maria Sanchez-Aquino in their home on the 1900 block of Pylmouth Street, Mountain View police spokesperson Liz Wylie said. Police believe the siblings were gunned down just before 5 a.m. The only thing we know for sure is that robbery is a motive,” Wylie said. More information here.

In the above situation, and countless others, innocent people have been harmed by the action of a criminal. Had there been an armed, law abiding citizen in the area, tragedy may very well have been averted. Americans use guns for self defense every 13 seconds, and that is perhaps the best reason to have a gun. These people are certainly glad they had a gun for self defense.
