Back in October, 46-year-old Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez fired her handgun at two men fleeing a Home Depot in Michigan, hitting a tire in the car they were escaping in. But after being charged herself with reckless use of a firearm and sentenced to 18 months probation she announced that she has chosen to spite America... by never shooting wildly at random people ever again.

“I tried to help,” she told the gathered media after her trial. “And I learned my lesson that I will never help anybody again.”

One could say that Duva-Rodriguez is taking her ball and going home, but as part of her conviction, her permit to carry a concealed weapon has been revoked until 2023. Are there any armed citizens left to fight crime in the streets?
