Or feel the need to own or carry them. They are afterall less able to protect themselves by other means right?

Whether urban blacks or white country boys, gun ownership is mainly a man's passion, fetish really. Hollywood, video games, and the NRA just promote this huge culture and industry of cool deadly toys for boys.

Or let me guess, the NRA beleives women are sadly under-armed, and will ramp up campaigns targeting more female gun ownership.

Generally speaking:

1. They aren't really into protecting themselves. Socially they rely on males to protect them yet those males often harm them more than strangers.
2. They have trouble being aggressive when aggression is required in self-defense.
3. They have a fantasy that without guns, they wouldn't be subject to harm and abuse.

I see you have never been to a gun range. I see many women shooting of all ages. I go to competition shooting matches often and there are many women participating.

Maybe liberal women are afraid of guns but then not all women are liberal.

Why don't most women want guns?

Huh?

FAIL!

Last I heard, the fastest growing market for firearms is actually women.

Looks like there is some truth to that claim.

Fear. My spouse fears guns. I keep our Luger locked up and hidden away, out of sight, as she cringes whenever it's brought out. Out of sight, out of mind.

Interesting.

Self-Reported Gun Ownership in U.S. Is Highest Since 1993

If this is somewhat accurate, the whole civilian industry just missed the huge female market.

Incoherent pacifist hoplophobe blather.

The bedwetting hoplophobes on the left don't ever see fit to trot out the women who have used firearms to defend themselves and their children. No we only get to see the unarmed, defenseless, gunless victims and somehow the fact that they DIDN'T have a gun to defend themselves is overlooked and somehow admired by you?

You ever hear of Susanna Hupp? She might have a thing or two to say about your flawed assertions.

And did you not hear the story two weeks ago about the woman in Georgia that shot an intruder and protected her children? And the countless other stories with the same outcome? No that doesn't serve your hoplophobic gun-grabbing agenda.

You would prefer that we do away with all guns and make ALL women defenseless targets for criminals. Empowerment of women to you leftist perverts only means acknowledging their right to plunge a fork into a fetuses skull and suck its brains out.

Empowerment of women never means promoting gun safety/education and proficiency as a means of self defense against a violent rapist that outweighs her by 100 lbs. No you just want to program 911 on their speed dial, give them condoms, and coach them on how to nicely ask the rapist to wear it. Maybe pass out some scissors too.



I don't approve of your War on Women and their right to defend themselves with the most effective means available: a gun.

Your assertions are disgusting, backward, and frankly misogynistic.

Shame on you.

I'm a woman, some call me a liberal, and I own guns. Two of my three sisters own guns. My mom even owns a gun.
But my father taught us to not depend on anyone, but ourselves, to protect us.
