TheTruthAboutGuns.com wrote about the family that was attacked by a motorcycle gang.
“The incident began when the driver of the Range Rover [in the viral above] called 911 to report a group of bikers stunting and flossing on New York City’s West Side Highway. A biker parked in front the luxury SUV, causing the driver to stop. When a biker walked toward the car, the Rover driver floored it, smashing into several bikes and riders. When the truck got caught in traffic, a pursuer tried to rip open the door. When the driver got caught in traffic a second time, a biker smashed the driver-side window with his helmet. Cops told the New York Post that the biker slashed the driver in front of his wife and child. He ended up with a couple of black eyes and stitches to his face and chest. Would a gun have made the situation better? Only if you understand that it could have been much worse without it.”

I agree. I have a friend who experienced an incident of road rage the other driver kept pulling next to him, making threatening gestures. My friend brandished his gun, that was enough to make the road nut come to his senses.
Guns are not just tools of self-defense, they’re symbols of power. We don’t fear cops because they have nice uniforms, we fear them because they have guns and will use them if we threaten them.
Of course, you can’t blame this Chinese family for what happened to them. They live in New York after all, hard to carry a gun in that State.
