They say conservatives are just liberals who got mugged

Mike Thomas, writing in the Orlando Sun, wasn't necessarily mugged; but, as a journalist he's seen enough people who were mugged or worse. Enough so that he's finding that his "liberal belief in gun control is getting wobbly". He's come to the realization that the police, how ever much they'd like to, can't be there to protect you 24/7. (I wonder how he'd react to the knowledge that they can't be held liable for that either.)

Mr. Thomas still has a ways to go. He still buys into gun-grabber mythology about "assault weapons" and "cop-killer bullets". But he's also noticed that the gun-grabber prediction of a "Wild West bloodbath" after Florida pass concealed carry in the 1980s didn't pan out. " Responsible gun owners don't use guns irresponsibly. Go figure."
