If only she could have had a gun.  This is exactly why gun control is such a dangerous policy.  Even if one can argue successfully that banning guns reduces crime (which I don't think you can, and I absolutely reject out of hand any attempt to do so), you're giving away your individual, essential right to self defense.  By doing so you lose the ability to even stand a chance against those who have no respect for law and your basic human rights.  Banking on the government to defend or care for you like the people of the UK do is a huge gamble.  This woman lost that gamble and paid for it with her life, unfortunately.
