ungrateful? What in the name of anything that you call holy is there to be grateful about regarding gun crime? Now that was moronic on your part.
Did you even read my scenario and question or are you too busy making up ways to go off subject like a typical troll? If you took the time to read the scenario I gave and understood what it meant, then I'm referring to being grateful that someone just saved your life!
FF - Let's see - a criminal shooter, killed by a generally law-abiding civilian with a legal gun, thus saving the life of an innocent civilian hiding under a table. I don't recall the incident - can you remind me of it - where and when it happened - or at least of the most recent such incident?

Great another Snarky Comment! Steve, first off, the Portland Oregon Mall shooter shot himself just AFTER another mall goer pointed a Glock .40 at his head! The Mall goer did NOT fire the gun, but nonetheless helped prompt the shooter to kill himself rather than the rest of the mall shoppers! The main stream media did NOT report this fact except for one local station. You people on the left keep focusing on the all defensive scenarios must result in the good guy discharging their weapons, however the majority of self defense cases result in the firearm NOT being fired. Furthermore, my scenario mentioned was not an actual incident, it was a theoretical scenario to find out what the reaction of people like you would do if someone saved your life in that same way!
Well, clearly, that is where we differ again. I would rather save my own life in a manner of avoiding a bullet than expect or demand someone else to kill for me. And you are being quite snarky yourself. I'm assuming that your gun is in reach as you type.

Assuming that everyone arguing in favor of the 2nd Amendment owns a gun I guess would be the same thing as assuming someone like Diane Feinstein introducing gun bans doesn't own any even though she carries one.
SteveinKona, I'm sure this woman thanked her landlord!

On that same day - February 13 - at least 20 people in the US were shot to death, and at least 313 then to now. You can check out the list here:

If airbags killed three hundred people for every one they saved, would we install them in our cars?
As to gratitude: If a boulder rolls across the road, smashes a car that would otherwise have hit me, and then goes on to wipe out a few hundred folks downhill, should I feel grateful? I'd feel shaken, and I'd feel compassion for the dead.
In the case you cited, if I were the woman, I'm sure I'd be glad to be alive, and I'd appreciate the intent behind the intervention. Particularly if the assailant had died, I'd also regret that he'd died at a moment of delusion and insanity, and I'd be concerned for the shooter. Killing somebody, for real, isn't easy. That's why police who do so are put on leave. That's why drone pilots, who are never in danger, still get post-traumatic stress disorder.
We are troubled by wild pigs in our area. I've put up a fence. One of our neighbors is un-fenced, but has used our back fence as a blind from which to shoot the pigs. Am I grateful for that? Not really, even though he's addressing a problem that affects us as well. I appreciate the intent, but believe there's a less violent way to the same result.
