To be honest most gate gankers won't stand and fight. This is due to a number of things, a lack of profit, wrong fitting, fear of a loss on their kill board and many others.
All you have to do is jump in mob handed and the gate camp will dissolve faster than you can say boo.
We've had trouble getting a fight all weekend. To be honest we need to scale down our little band down into a couple of groups. Think we overpowered them with 8 ships.
To be honest I don't understand your problem I usually travel at will in low sec regardless of ship type. I have to do a bit of dodging soemtimes but nothing serious. I've lost the odd hauler through apathy. I can understand why people want empire to be secure but nerfing low sec is ridiculous. You want the rewards for running a POS then you need to work at it. Running around afk in a hauler generating ISK is grind not work. Outsmarting the pirates and getting the rewards is hard work. Overcoming the risk is the hard work in EVE not the grind.
You've been given multiple options to move forward use em.

"Once again I am not trying to remove pirating I just want it on a more even playing field"
How on earth did they manage to pod you? Smartbomb?
Because if its anything other than a smartbomb, I'm pretty surprised. I didn't think anything smaller than a battlecruiser could withstand sentry fire - and a BC, even with sensor boosters, shouldn't be able to target a pod in time.
My guess is AFK

I wouldn't expect the lock to be instant. I thought 2 seconds was a little too long as the original OP explained. Although catching a pod is a little tricky.
The conclusion of this thread is that the OP cannot do anything to avoid this despite the advice given. So he wants the entire of low sec to be nerfed because he cannot counter 2 players!
You do realise to get a lock time that quick menas you have to gimp your set up a little to do it. So a fully tanked ship as bait and a couple of damge ships should be able to clear that gate. Unless you're a solo player in this MMORPG its not that much of a problem.

Now as to some other things, yes I am pretty much alone atm.
I would like it to go back to the orginal idea that low sec isn't safe but is safer than 0.0
First thing is you can't really expect to get much further doing all that crap on your own. It's dull, it's tedious you'll quit anyway and it's an mmorpg. Fold into another corp or something take the pressure off its a game FFS.
Original idea? It's always been like this. Except it's easier to overcome now, it used to be whole lot worse. We can't dumb EVE down any further. It's at breaking point.

You'll usually find they are RL jobless losers, parasites of society just like they parasite ingame. By their enormously crushing sense of utter RL inadequacy, they are driven to prove their e-peen, because their real pole hasn't been greased in years. They are dead inside, because it takes a dead soul to just sit there at that gate for 12 hours at a time, while the game has so much else to offer.
To be honest thats a generalistion that doesn't hold true based on almost 4 years in the game. That's something cooked up by victims to feel superior over the guy that just nuked their hauler.
It's a game people sometimes purposefully take an opposing moral position than they would in real life just for a change.

Nah I'm not bitter, it's just a game to me : )
Also Hehehehe, I'm not a hauler in fact. Hauling seems pretty boring to me, although I know a few people who love it. Or should I say, they love the whole playing the market thing that hides behind it.
Which is a lot more involved than sitting in the same place all day doing exactly -nothing-.
The thing to remember people have alts and don't always sit there doing one thing. There are many aspects to EVE and most people are involved in more than just one.
