ralph,
I agree.
However, there is no need for people to be victim's today if they will take a few precautionary steps.
Like Ribit and Due I have more than a little experience
with weapons and used them in during and after Vietnam.
My wife know how to use a 9mm compact semi-auto effectively as well.
Like anything else, if you want to do something, you will find time to do it. It is utterly amazing how much time people waste, yet they will tell you they don;t have the time to get training in the use and handling of firearms.
There just isn't any excuse imo.
JMHO,
