A different take on gun rights

<img src="http://images.mises.org/GunSafe.jpg" align="right"><blockquote>
Something happened in Buffalo, New York, late last year that contradicts the propaganda of those who support "gun control" — the control of law-abiding people who wish to own a gun for protection against the assorted nefarious elements in this world. A citizen actually used a gun, a shotgun, to defend his home and his family against armed intruders. ("Man who fatally shot intruder was victim of previous home invasion," Buffalo News, November 14, 2002.)

No, his gun was not taken from him and used against him. No, his gun was not stolen. No, he did not have time to wait for the police, though they did arrive moments later and also fired at the intruders, wounding one of them. Yes, he was able to get to his gun in time. Yes, he did point and aim and hit the evil target. According to the propaganda, people rarely if ever use guns in self-defense.

So begins an article from a... blog about economics????? Although the article is from 2003, the truths in it still hold true. And keep in mind that they are not talking specifically about "gun control" or even "gun crime". This site is about money and free trade and economics. How do guns fit in?
