For example, when a lone gunman opened fire on Christmas shoppers in a Portland Mall last December, an individual who thankfully did not realize the mall was a gun free zone stopped the killer simply by pulling his own gun and aiming it at the gunman who then inflicted amortalwound upon himself.
But if in the coming weeks Italy and Spain fail to do that, declining confidence in their ability to repay their debts will look even more like a potentially mortalwound for the eurozone.
