Me trusty G-19 says 'that' much.

She won't fire. That's exact and I had to use the take down grip to get it and hold it steady.

No!

no they are not. but firearm owners for the most part are willing to take the responsibility of their safety in their own hands instead of relying on dialing 911 and waiting for the cops to arrive.

when seconds count, the cops are only minutes/hours/days away.

You're right. I'm a bit more afraid of someone like this, than of someone with a gun. Looks like a total nut.

You support gun confiscation from private individuals - isn't this correct?

So if you didn't have your gun you would just sit there and do nothing?? Doesn't sound very brave if you ask me.

If that's what it takes, you bet I do. I would like my country to cease being a gun-ridden hellhole, where injury and death by guns is a constant and daily event.

Too bad you prefer hyperbole to reality.
You want to clean your country up? How about dealing with the real issues that are killing Americans?
Did you know that more people die from ingesting household cleaners every single year, than die from firearms?
Did you know more kids die every single year (by a factor of 25) from drowning in swimming pools?
Did you know that for every person who dies as a result of a bullet escaping the end of a gun; there are 10 or more who die because a drunk decided they really can drive?
Did you know drugs used by parents that many liberals and libertarians want to decriminalize lead to abuse, abandonment and yes even death in massive numbers every single year? In fact, if you deal with reality you know that the largest part of the reason why parts of America are "gun ridden hellholes" is because of DRUGS?

Go talk to ta social worker and find out what causes parts of America to be hell holes.

How about the fact that in virtually every single case of a mass shooting, there were attempts to get the person committed but because of LAWS passed in this country in the last 40 years, those who care for the insane killer, were thwarted from getting their loved one help?

Nooooooo. You don’t care about that. You care about hyperbole. You care about doing something that will make you feel good about yourself. Don’t deal with reality. Don’t deal with CAUSE. Just run out there and say things that cannot be backed up with FACTS and hate a lump of metal because you buy the lie that guns are the enemy.

Good grief.

Women who are gun enthusiasts are less likely to be bullied or victimized by abusive men. They look for softer targets.
