"What are guns for again? Please say protection so I can laugh! (Kinda reminds me of driving...everyone is aggressive because everyone else is aggresive. If one person would just become defensive, people would begin to relax and realize there isn't a need for aggresion and an aggressive defense is not a defense at all but a power tripping offense!) Explain to me how a christian can own a gun with the intent to shoot someone? (even in self defense?) Turn the other cheek! I remember reading somewhere that 'the meek shall inherit the earth.' I may be wrong, but I don't believe 'the meek' will be gun 'totin'!"

Pretty good eh? There's more, and it's better.

"Superiority Complex. (If only we could buy warheads as personal defense!) "Attackers" use the art of surprise, having a gun will do nothing to prevent this from happening. All animals will avoid humans unless provoked/hungry and all humans who are paying attention can see/hear most animals before they get close enough to use a handgun.(Unless of course your walking into a national forest with a scoped rifle in which case, YEE HAW!) Unless a gun owner has as quick of a mind as they do a trigger finger (given they are an expert shot, which is likely not the case) a gun will prove useless to them in any such encounter. The only thing a gun (handgun) provides is a false sense of security. Studies prove that an attacker is more likely to use YOUR gun against you than vise versa.

Oh, in response to the "threatened by a criminal", yes I have been. Jumped by three guys walking home from work, didn't make we want to run out an buy a gun, instead I am just more aware of my surroundings."

Do I really need to point out the blatant hypocrisy and stupidity in those two statements? How is it that her being aware of her surroundings will help her avoid being a victim, but me being aware of my surroundings AND armed, won't? Maybe you can have that brain donor explain that to me, because being the dense gun owner that I am, I'm having more than just a little trouble understanding that.

She is lying about being "jumped".

Unbelivable.If she wants to be a victim that's her business.Not me or my family!

What's terrifying is that she sounds relatively intelligent (intelligence by itself not very useful .... as aptly demonstrated), just not very smart. The problem is there are too many people like her in government and committed to removal of our rights. These people are scary .... so fervently committed to imposing their views on others. It seems clear, she actually believes what she's saying .........

what a waste of a brain...
i agree, too many people like this woman are in our government...or they are the one's writting letter after letter to local eating establishments trying to get our rights removed. urrrrr....

Sorry, I didn't read it all... I was too busy playing with my GUN.

There are, unfortunately, ALOT of "smart, stupid people" in this world; and if she indeed is a Christian, then with her viewpoint, she may just get over to "Glory" sooner than the rest of us. I'm looking forward to that day, too, but I love my life here too much to go just yet--and I love my GUNS!!! Do you think Jesus will let me keep them "up there"?

When folks like this get into trouble, someone breaking into their homes, stealing their cars, robbing them who do they call?

What do those people bring with them when they come?

Why do they have what they bring with them?

She's a typical liberal idiot, do us all a favor buy her a bus pass to Haight Ashbury.

how do you even respond to that...... you know i have alot of LE friends and they feel if everyone is armed then the playing field is leveled and then the bad guys dont know how many guns they are against so then its hard to pick someone to be a victim
