(11,064 posts)who are you to believe that you or anyone else can take away the choice of women or men to own an AR-15 for home defense.
I've trained women how to shoot. I know, as most people know, women commonly do not have the same hand strength and wrist strength as men.
Do you favor a pistol for home defense for women? Since you should know that women tend to have less wrist strength than men, there is a greater opportunity for them to jam a pistol by limp-wristing it. Even a long gun can be jammed with limp-wristing, but a person who holds a rifle with two hands is much less likely to do so.
Do you favor a rifle other than "an assault rifle" (whatever than means)? Well, good for you. Disapproving of "assault" rifles and those who own them, even if AR-15's are used to clear ranch land of rodents called prairie dogs to protect cattle against broken legs from stepping in prairie-dog holes, seems to be the current politically correct stance.
No one should have a firearm in the home for self-defense unless you approve?
Sorry. I'm an old fashioned FDR-type liberal. I'm not buying it.
