This is a woman who alternates between letting every man she meets into her bedroom and crossing the street to avoid every man she meets.<br />Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-59136392867872616222013-08-03T03:45:44.715-04:002013-08-03T03:45:44.715-04:00Um, Geod?

They <b>know</b> that we will sneakily use calm, factual, well-reasoned points, to brainwash the helpless masses and <i>that cannot be allowed</i>.<br /><br />Think of a medieval priest faced with a smooth talking heretic. Cannot allow that devil-merchant to lead the People of God away from Righteousness. Since the gungrabbers can't actually convene an inquisition and burn us at the stake, they have to limit themselves to Reasoned Discourse.<br /><br />From their POV, it's entirly rational.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340718574781403778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-87833103496690108552013-08-01T16:28:24.266-04:002013-08-01T16:28:24.266-04:00Yes'm.Yes'm.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-56315812846643797942013-08-01T16:19:54.692-04:002013-08-01T16:19:54.692-04:00"Shut up," she suggested.

No, you don't have to point a gun at every man following you down the stairs, but does that mean that NOT having a gun lets you trust every man? Of course not. This is why the whole article strikes me as disingenuous. <br /><br />And that's really the problem with anti-gun logic. Sure, a gun on your hip is a pretty useless hunk of metal 99.99% of the time. Until that one time, when NOT having a gun could result in the worst thing you could imagine. Evil exists in this world, whether they want to recognize it or not.

The family is in shock. They literally don't feel safe in their own brick home. The husband is often away from the home. The mother is doing the best that she can. <br /><br />But a gun of course would just cause more problems. The gun is source of violence. It would be silly to suggest that they arm themselves, or even to permit it.
