Another question for gun control proponents

Edited on Wed Jan-26-11 10:00 AM by badtoworse

We recently had a story posted about an 81 year old woman who was being beaten with her cane, but was able to defend herself because she was armed. Here is a story about an 81 year old man and his 75 year old wife who were robbed and severly beaten in their Staten Island, NY apartment.

Even after the two SCOTUS rulings, it's difficult to legally own a handgun in NYC. How should they have protected themselves? Under the rules, I can't call out any anti-RKBA posters by name, but we all know who you are. How about some honest answers?
