Rightwing blogs are filled with praise for the gun-owning mom who confronted Obama last week during his town hall discussion of gun control:

“As a survivor of rape, and now a mother to two small children — you know, it seems like being able to purchase a firearm of my choosing, and being able to carry that wherever my — me and my family are — it seems like my basic responsibility as a parent at this point,” she told Obama during “Guns in America,” CNN’s town hall, after the president announced executive orders on gun control Tuesday. “I have been unspeakably victimized once already, and I refuse to let that happen again to myself or my kids."

Let's meet two other parents who had guns in their homes to keep their children safe:

A woman in St. Cloud, Florida, woke up just before midnight Tuesday and fired a shot at a person she thought had broken into her home. But the person wasn't an intruder; it was her 27-year-old daughter. The woman fired one round, but police didn't say where the bullet hit the daughter. She died at a hospital.

A father mistook his 14-year-old son for an intruder and shot him in the neck, killing him, at a Cincinnati home on Tuesday morning, according to police. The father had dropped the boy off at the school bus stop, but the teen returned home.... The teen was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Shortly after 8:15 a.m., police said the boy had died.

The woman in St. Cloud shot and killed her daughter—home visiting for the holidays—on December 30. The dad in Cincinnati shot and killed his son yesterday. Take it away, MinnPost:

Having a gun in your home significantly increases your risk of death — and that of your spouse and children. And it doesn’t matter how the guns are stored or what type or how many guns you own. If you have a gun, everybody in your home is more likely than your non-gun-owning neighbors and their families to die in a gun-related accident, suicide or homicide.

Obama responded to the gun-owning mom at his town hall meeting with this:

Obama tried, at length, to answer her question. He pointed out that, though he didn’t think Corban’s guns necessarily made her safer, he’s not trying to take them away. “I just want to repeat that there’s nothing that we’ve proposed that would make it harder for you to purchase a firearm.” And: “You have to be pretty well trained in order to fire a weapon against somebody who is assaulting you and catches you by surprise.” And: “There’s always the possibility that that firearm in a home leads to a tragic accident.” And: “All I’m focused on is making sure that a terrible crime like yours that was committed is not made easier because somebody can go on the Internet and just buy whatever weapon they want without us finding out whether they’re a criminal or not.”

Corban told the Washington Post that she felt Obama dodged her question. I disagree. I think, like some gun owners (a minority), she's dodging the facts. The most important fact she's dodging: having a gun in the home doesn't make her kids safer. It makes them less safe. Another fact she dodged: she doesn't speak for a majority of gun owners or a majority of Republicans.
