You should also tell that to the child in the wheelchair, I'm sure he'll appreciate being told he should fight back, stick up for himself, without using a gun or anything.
For some of us, going through a medium, getting help is the ONLY option we have. My brother fought with people who made fun of me growing up. And while i wish he didn't HAVE to fight them, i was grateful for the help. You cannot say we are ALL responsible to fight back, stick up for ourselves, because some of us CAN'T.

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree.
At least half of standing up for yourself is attitude.
No, it won't stop a determined bully from picking on you, but children shouldn't be afraid to take agressive steps, such as reporting bullies to the proper authorities.
And as for a disabled adult, it is up to you whether or not you own a gun, but one of the very GOOD things about guns is that they allow the physically weak to defend themselves against much stronger advisaries.
Do you really think this is a
bad thing?
