Are you pro life?

Now you tell us that one of your sons owns some guns. Fine. But do you?

If you knew how to read between the lines, you could reasonably guess the answer to that question from my words.

But again, what's it YOUR "business"?

Lee, I’ve upset you. Sorry. This is how it usually goes with conservatives though.

You made several dangerous claims. You just wrote them without any backing data and without mentioning any sources.

It’s as if I said “the MOON is made of CHEESE… where is your data that says it isn’t?”

So basically, you want to take away the one tool that gives a woman a fighting chance to actually protect herself? If I was an intruder, I wouldn't be scared of a woman with a bat or a hammer. If she had a knife I would be concerned for about 2 seconds, grab a chair and best the crap out of her. But a gun is the one weapon that gives a woman a chance to even the odds. don't women have the right to protect themselves?

Three men entered the house of this woman. Was she wrong to shoot at them?

The probability of those scenarios happening are so incredibly low that these women would have a higher chance of being struck by lightning. Should they also wear non conductive rubber suits everywhere in case that happens?

Ok, lets say as a country we decide to confiscate every single gun in America. Does that include the police? Guns for hunting? How do you see a total gun ban playing out?

It would not be easy. We have WAY too many guns here. I’d suggest buybacks and very strict laws that make all guns illegal with no exceptions except for the military. People love money as much as they love guns; buybacks would work.

It looks like you’re weasel wording not owning any guns.

You see, when I read what you wrote above all I think about is my family, my wife and girls. My wife is 5'2" 120lbs and my grown daughter's are even smaller. In the America you describe, how do they protect against violent men who are 6'0" 200lbs? What's your solution? Because right now a gun is the best option for a woman when it comes to protection.

No, unfortunately, that would not work.

Are you pro life?

I’ve admittedly been quite pleased as I’ve read some obituaries.

I understand the fear.

How often has the above scenario happened to your wife and/or daughters?

See, they’re much more likely to be harmed in a motor vehicle incident, yet I doubt they avoid driving for that reason.
