Guns Versus Paper

California Dreaming:
On the day of her husband's release, Thomas-Harris spent about 45 minutes with prosecutors and begged for "a piece of paper" that would shield her, Booth said. Prosecutors tried to get her an emergency protective order, but Lindars was on vacation in Oregon and wasn't expected back for two weeks.

Unlike the game of Rock, Paper Scissors; paper provides no protection. The issue is absurd on it's face. A protection order is a piece of paper with words on it. Nothing more. The paper has value only to those who are inclined to obey the law. Even if she had received that piece of paper, the police were minutes away when seconds counted. What are the odds that the man with malice aforethought would wait for the police? Yeah. Right.

Now there is one more victim of anti-gun policies. When will they realize that anti-gun policies are literal death to the defenseless?

I'm not holding my breath.
