So, if “less” is used, would that indicate objectifying women and be tossed in to the war on women category? Or would fewer guns, being objects, mean less domestic shooting? Or only possibly lead to fewer domestic shootings. I’m gonna stop now since this has the potential to get grammatically out of control. :>)

Harris-Perry tried to explain to fellow professor Jon Shane that confiscating "perfectly legal" guns would mean less husbands shooting their wives

Women are more in danger from live-in boyfriends than a legally-married husbands, but it's politically-incorrect to note that.

Most husbands are bigger and stronger than their wives. They thus do not need a gun. A chef's knife from the kitchen, or just bare hands will do.

Since a gun is what enables a weaker person to defend herself from a stronger person, taking guns away would likely result in MORE women being killed.

The correct principle in this context is that all labor is the labor of direction. The man directs the tool, and that he, and not the tool, produces the result or product. The tool is the means by which the man who employs it produces the result. So, if too many husbands are shooting their wives, then one needs to find out what are the main causes of the anger are and work to control those.

Not as many as you might think. MSNBC hires the mentally, ethically, and emotionally challenged, and doesn’t seem to care that its ratings are perpetually in the toilet. I’m surprised they don’t have live broadcasts from prisons and insane asylums, sponsoring fights to determine the most psychotic to be given the microphone.

BS..I had one of those abusive husbands. I was half his size.

But I’m one of those stubborn throw back Highlander Scot’s. Pregnant and all I back his butt down with the threat to sew him in the bed sheet and take my granny’s cast iron chicken fryer to him. Hand came down. Next day when he went to work, I pack me and the 2 boys up and called my Uncle to come pick us up and take us to my Dad’s.

He was more scared of My Uncle and Dad than he’d ever have been of a cop and a useless piece of paper. My Dad and Uncle Hunted, Dad was WW2 Vet, put our Flag back up on Corregidor on a telegraph pole under sniper fire with a PFC so Gen Mac could have it. Then hoisted a second one. 5 major battles under Gen. Mac.

100% right, no one reports on those of both sexes ran over by cars. Or this, Yes it’s a real crime going into it’s 27th year this March.

Ashley Nichole ‘Nikki’ Read (8yrs old, 67 lbs) March 16, 1990

http://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/keen-david.htm

Nikki was beaten, RAPED, strangled with her own shoelaces, wrapped in a green blanket, which was then tied, by David Keen, he dumped her body into the river off the old Auction Street Boat Dock in Memphis, TN. She drowned to death. Nikki was alive as Keen RAPED her. DNA proved he did and he eventually confessed to the crime. 2 juries, up held the Death Sentence. All State and Federals Appeals are done. Yet he still sits on Tennessee Death Row because Tennessee’s RINO governor won’t sign the Death Warrant for this Child Rapist/Killer.

Nearly 26 years of waiting for justice for Nikki.

They are using any excuse they can to push gun control. No one in the history of the world has ever killed anyone without a gun. /s
