So Now It’s Sexist for Wanting Women to Own A Gun…Even If It’s A Woman Advocating For Women To Own A Gun Alex Wagner, Though Pretty, and Sincere in Her Liberalism, Is Headcrushingly Ignorant

By: tomjeffersonsghost (Diary) | January 30th, 2013 at

Alex Wagner on tweeted that Gail Trotter’s testimony during the hearing on gun violence was sexist, no breathtakingly sexist because of her advocating for women to own guns. At which time, upon my reading the tweet, I had to un-follow her. It was difficult I must admit because she’s on my top twenty most attractive list, alongside Mila Kunis, Zoe Kravitz, among many others. Not a sexist list, but a recognition of the obvious: These women don’t look bad in any definition of the word.

But sometimes being attractive can’t excuse one’s serial comments that render the reader, or viewer a couple IQ points below mental retardation. Again, her liberal views are sincere, but sincere doesn’t mean educated or well thought out.

And to the title point: So now it’s sexist for wanting women to have the choice of owning a gun? What if a woman wanted another woman to own a gun? Apparently so.

What’s wrong with women owning a gun? That’s the question I want to ask liberals. Also, what’s wrong with women feeling safe when they’re home alone or with their children alone during the evening. I know, some of our liberal friends talk about calling 9-11, which is a genuine yet dangerously naive response to the general scenario of home invasions or attempted rape. Not every 9-11 call ends in a potentially deadly home invasion or would be attack being thwarted by the police.

"What would have happened to Melinda Herman in Georgia had she not been able to use a gun to protect herself and her two nine year old twins when a home invader found them hiding in a crawlspace? Tragically Mrs. Herman and her kids wouldn’t be alive today."

"Sometimes, go figure, but sometimes the police don’t make it out there in time enough to stop the bad guys. Sometimes you have to make a hard choice between life or death: Your life or his, your death, or his."

Gun Control Regulations Disarm Women

The Washington Times

Gayle Trotter

Even in the aftermath of unspeakable tragedy like the shootings in Newtown, Conn., gun control zealots advocate mindless and misogynistic policies.

“We have to take action,” Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. urged in response to the Newtown horror. “The president is absolutely committed to keeping his promise that we will act.”

In other words, to quote a frat boy from the movie “Animal House”: “I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.”

When I was in college, I used a very effective line on women who claimed that the presumption that women were physically weaker was sexist.

I would listen to them and then suggest that we settle the matter with an arm wrestling contest. Usually the entire room would laugh, the woman in question would turn bright red, but what never, never happened was them taking me up on the offer. I guess they presumed they would lose.

I thought women have some kind of advantage in arm wrestling that is often unexpected.

Any woman who has survived a violent crime would agree that it is not sexist for women to own a gun. In fact the only intelligent choice is to embrace your second ammendment right to protect your person and family. Anything short of that is just plain stupid.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Applies to women as well.

Guess the commies want to disarm law abiding women to enable the violent criminals.
And who is conducting the war on women?

I am woman. Hear me roar. I do not own ONE, SINGLE, SOLITARY ‘GUN’. But IF I did, I would have one in every room in my secluded home including the bathroom...a 12 guage in my bedroom along with an easily reachable S&W 38 Special, a Taurus ‘ladygun’ in my purse that goes everywhere I go, and you can take THAT to the bank!
And if that is sexist, it’s probably because I would nost likely be shooting at men.

Yes, but those advantages are limited to crying or flashing something.

Liberals love promoting the ideal of Equality between Men and Women.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson made Equality a reality.
