Gun Control & RKBA

if guns were outlawed, criminals would be unlikely to have guns, violent crime would rarely happen or incidents like this wouldn't be particularly newsworthy, and, oh look, squirrel...

There's rarely a desire for discussion of the particulars of the incident like the OP, notably the fact that two burglars even without firearms are extremely dangers or even a healthy and strong man trained in Krav Maga almost didn't survive the encounter, to say nothing if he were old, frail, a smaller woman, etc. It's generally why the same people complaining about "stand your ground" or "castle doctrine" laws are the same demanding strict gun control. I often believe that some (although certainly not all) of such people believe the life of a violent attacker(s) is more important than their victim, and if self-defense is legally employed, it should still be a "fair" fight.
