and more Americans killed by guns since 1968 than in all the wars in US history combined.

proof that one can be pro-Second Amendment, and pro-gun control at the same time. Right-wing Second Amendment absolutists will claim that Gabby is using sensationalism and "emotion" to trample their God-given paranoid rights to kill other Americans with an implement designed specifically for that purpose.

war on women!

Three were listed as homicides and one as an accident.
Guns are a handy little tool to take a life to make a point in the heat of an argument, I guess.

in kitchen grease fire.
Dowry runs out and its time for a new wife.

We are supposed to be a more advanced world here in the west, but with guns so frickin' easy
to get a hold of and very often so close by they become the final solution to much more complex situations.

Nothing stops what's going on quicker than a gun shot..


ps...some think it is romantic to keep a loaded gun in the house to protect the little misses, but that same
determination to protect is just as often turned into the shooters sense of authority..seems to be bred into many of the gun nuts.

a gun provides a sense of power that, in reality, they lack.
The power to protect and the power to punish, the two roles every man is supposed to embody.

so very courageous. Go Gabby! Not sitting in the background whining and grousing. Out front and center!

(please give it to all young women of your acquaintance, please!) every four hours, a woman is killed in America by her husband or boyfriend.

But there is no war on women, and the US doesn't have a problem with misogyny, if I read DU right.
