Women want more Gun Control

Media_Truth said:
This chart explains why over 90% of US women want more background checks for guns. Women are much more in favor of gun control than men. Maybe they can talk some sense into us!

Sense? You mean they are being senseless. The demographic that should be most pro-gun is women. A gun is called the great equalizer for a reason. Men are significantly more physically dominant over women as a whole (very few exceptions do exist). The best chance for a woman to defend herself from a man intent on doing her harm is with a gun.

Actually, yes.....3 years ago my daughter used a firearm to protect herself from a home invasion.

All your "statistics", or your "what ifs", or whatever argument you want to toss out means absolutely squat.

When I hear those "if it can save just one life" argument's, I am reminded every day for the last three years, that my daughter is still with me because she was armed, despite the best efforts the gun control Stasi.

Why don't you ask my daughter how she feels bout gun control?

Yes....that's it. I am just that desperate to prop up the failing NRA and right of home defense I had to make up a story rather than post one of dozens of self defense stories I can link to.

You got me, tiger.....

Nearly 75% of the victims in domestic violence shootings are the current wives or girlfriends of the men who killed them, the Associated Press found. Shooting deaths of men are much less frequent.

Point being....firearms do save lives.

Im sure you can find many incidents where firearms are used illegally.

But there ya have it.

"Whoops" certainly defines what happens when people with guns run loose on the street.

What we have, and this is indisputable, a gun in the home is much more likely to kill the woman living there than it is an intruder. And, usually it's her spouse or boyfriend who is doing the killing.

So....we're raising the women-card, eh?

Anyone who calls for taking away your right to bear arms to defend yourself......isn't making any sense.
 
Media_Truth said:

Yes, you would NOT want to vote for me. I would try to make our access guns similar to Canada, Great Britain, Poland, Australia and Japan, which have very few deaths by firearms. That said, most Americans want more gun control in the US, so all the macho, gun-toting males on this forum should wake up to the reality in America.

Poll: Majorities of Both Parties Favor Increased Gun Restrictions : NPR
Eight-in-10 Americans told the pollsters they favor bans on assault weapons, high-capacity ammunition magazines and "bump stocks," an accessory used by the Las Vegas shooter that allows a semi-automatic rifle to fire like an automatic weapon.

Eight-in-10 likewise said they favor a federal database to track all gun sales. On each of these questions, majorities of Democrats, independents and Republicans all were in favor of the restrictions to some degree.

you want to disarm honest people in favor of violent criminals mainly because you want to diminish the power of the NRA in elections and making legal gunownership harder and harder you'd kill of lots of legal gun ownership. Most people who reflexively support the crap bannerrhoid politicians push haven't a clue and are dull witted sheeple who haven't given the issue much thought. those who have, oppose gun bans as crime control or are dishonest
