but, do you think a jury would even begin to understand how sexist are his comments?

I really do not know how much longer I can participate in this group.

You are going to think I am nuts but, I miss iverglas. even if she is Canadian, she at least, made a worthy adversary. I am ashamed of the comments posted by most of the women I have seen in this group. So much edcuation still yet needs to be done. I grow weary, bone tired.

Am I the only pro 2A woman on all of DU?

where are my sisters?

How many Democrats will you trash over guns? Hoyt Feb 2012 #1

The question is, how many will you and the other anti rights supporters trash. oneshooter Feb 2012 #2

Sounds like you guys are doing it right now. I support Dems who are rational on this issue. Hoyt Feb 2012 #5

how can you be rational on an issue gejohnston Feb 2012 #6

How can you be rational when you believe to carry a gun to venture out? Hoyt Feb 2012 #32

They same way I'm ratianal for carrying a spare tire in my trunk every time I venture out. Atypical Liberal Feb 2012 #34

Your "rational" is really irrational to most. rl6214 Feb 2012 #27

Self defense is a basic human right ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #3

But not with a gun that pollutes society. Are you saying you can only defend yourself with guns? Hoyt Feb 2012 #4

sometimes, yes gejohnston Feb 2012 #7

I am saying that there are those for whom it is the only effective answer such as ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #8

Those groups might have some reason to carry something, not necessarily a gun though. Hoyt Feb 2012 #9

Then I take it you are not against left-wingers carrying? N/T Marengo Feb 2012 #37

Problem is, to appease a few left wing carriers - you gotta allow a bunch of right wingers to carry. Hoyt Feb 2012 #38

So which civil rights you are allowed depends on your political affiliation... ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #43

First, guns are not a civil right. Second, right wingers use guns to deny civil rights to many. Hoyt Feb 2012 #47

huh? Kali Feb 2012 #52

"Are you saying you can only defend yourself with guns?" rl6214 Feb 2012 #28

Carrying a gun has nothing to do with self defense. But you knew that already. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #10

Tell that to the Pink Pistols ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #11

Wrong, using a gun is not defending yourself. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #12

Yeah sure.. Upton Feb 2012 #15

Your mental resources tell you to grab the shotgun. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #19

You approach limits options for those who need it most ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #17

A firearm may be a reasonable option in the most extreme and rare of circumstances. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #65

Violent crime is extreme, however not all too rare. Glassunion Feb 2012 #66

1 out of 50 out of 365 days is pretty darned rare. I'll risk those odds. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #69

Are you psychic? Glassunion Feb 2012 #70

Psychic? No. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #71

So now LEOs, those with protective orders, carrying large sums of cash, etc ProgressiveProfessor Feb 2012 #67

Not at all. They are high risk targets. That has always been my point. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #68

And what "gun free" technique would you recommend for the woman in the story? DonP Feb 2012 #18

The woman in the story was in her home. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #20
