By opting out of owning guns, you're giving us a power monopoly.

    Sucks you live in such a high violent crime area that clearly has a higher than normal rate of murder, rape, et al.

    Perfect case of =\=.

    Additional- that sounds a lot like Sharia. Women should be able to safely travel alone. Armed women are safer alone than unarmed women alone.

    Hey! You're learning!

    Yes, if any group of people turn fascist, we have guns to protect ourselves and our country.

    I'm so proud of you.

    Sharia law requires women to be accompanied by men for their protection. In America, women dont need men for protection because they're allowed to effectively defend themselves.

    Home defense?

    You are paranoid and driven by fear?

    LE is where the rubber meets the road. They see it, they take the reports, they aren’t getting it from the television, the are seeing it with their own eyes.

    Hmmm, that seems like a pretty ignorant and rude reply.

    Not surprised though.

    You suggested women restrict their travel to protect themselves. The only difference between that and Sharia is in enforcement.

    Women should go where they please, and anyone who intends to harm them should worry about being shot. Thats a more free society.

    Your grandmother carries a gun?

    All young girls and grandmothers should carry guns?

    Well it's not just about women...

    all people have to think about what they're doing, where they are, to a certain degree.

    But I don't see how kids going to the playground or grandmothers going grocery shopping can be asked to carry guns to protect themselves. It's just absurd.

    Kids, no. They don't have the maturity to make life/death decisions like that.

    But theres plenty of firearms that grandmothers can handle just fine. Of everyone who could be armed, elderly women would benefit the most from it, as they're the most vulnerable to the criminal element.

    Why do you think its absurd that a grandmother would be armed?

    How are any of his questions ignorant? Why don’t gay and lesbians have to pay? And if you do live in such a high crime dangerous area I think asking where you live isn’t out of line. It’s not like he’s asking for your actual address.

    My grandmother can't even nor wants to work a cellphone.

    It's just simply insane to expect her to be able to use a gun.

    If kids are not mature enough to handle a gun or life and death situations, well then what? They are sitting ducks wherever they go. So how do guns protect them?

    Well, if the area is THAT dangerous then is it wise to be alone late enough at night when no one is around? Late enough when no one is around is typically going to be the hours of midnight, 1:00 am and such. Again, if there is such a concern about being raped does it make sense to put oneself into such a situation? I bet you LE would say the same thing to these women. Should women be able to go where they want? Sure. But there is also using common sense to avoid bad situations. That’s all I was saying.

    Im guessing because LGBT are at increased risk of victimization and because they tend to vote left. Getting more lefty's into shooting makes them less likely to vote for gun control, which is a service to all of Americans. He's doing a little private sector social engineering ;)

    And Im guessing he doesn't live in a high crime area, perhaps because so many people carry. Proaction vs reaction.

    His wife and daughter are concerned about getting raped so I’m guessing where he lives isn’t as safe as you claim. Otherwise, why would there be a need to worry about being raped???

    I guess it comes down to whether you're willing to cede the streets to the criminals at night or not.

    LE seem to think it’s the smart thing to do. But what do they know.
