"Assault weapons" and self-defense
Posted by David Hardy · 14 February 2019 09:09 AM
Clayton Cramer's Civilian Gun Self-Defense Blog has begun to focus on the topic.
Amusingly, the first case he cites (Houston, homeowner shot three armed home invaders) also makes the antigun Gun Violence Archive. I guess they include self-defense against home invaders as "gun violence."

If someone was stung by a bee while holding a gun and dropped it on their neighbor's foot, that would be "gun violence" to the G.V.A or the Brady Bunch.
I think you have two different shootings mixed up.
The defensive shooting in Houston on Clayton Cramer's blog refers to a home invasion in East Houston at the 7000 block of Sherman on Jan. 30.
The incident linked to in the gun violence archive is the incident in which the police conducted a no-knock drug warrant raid on a house and in which the occupants (seemingly not knowing it was the police_ shot the "invaders" and wound up dead after wounding 4-5 police officers. This incident occurred on Jan. 28, 2019 at 7815 Harding St. Houston, Texas. Indications at this point in time indicate the homeowners were not drug dealers and this was a fiasco from the police perspective.
