If It Just Saves One Life...

Then, it's worth it.

So sayeth our Vice President:

Biden talked also about taking responsible action. "As the president said, if you're actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking. But I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly."

Bryan Preston feels that [comments mine]:

By that logic, if it only saves one life, we should ban cars.
If it only saves one life, we should ban peanuts.

If it only saves one life, we should ban sports.
If it only saves one life, we should ban fishing.
If it only saves one life, we should ban alcoholic beverages. [Tried that once before and look what happened.]
If it only saves one life, we should ban hammers.
If it only saves one life, we should ban knives. [Jeez, don't give 'em any more ideas!]

Okay, by their arguments, if it's worth saving just one life, then it's time to remind these folks that in keeping unrestricted Second Amendment rights:

• If just one woman uses a gun to prevent a rape, it's worth it.
• If just one woman uses a gun to protect herself from the violently abusive ex who ignores his restraining order, it's worth it.
• If just one night clerk uses a gun to protect himself from a drug-crazed robber late at night, it's worth it.
• If just one woman uses a gun to protect her children and herself from an intruder, then it's worth it.
• If just one person uses a higher-capacity magazine's worth of bullets to protect him/herself from multiple assailants, it's worth it.
