Women with guns: The next threat to the Democratic Party
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb 25, 2017 | Salena Zito

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Abby Ross never spent time around guns until a little more than a decade ago. "I grew up on Staten Island," she said. "Hunting or gun use was not part of our family traditions."

Now she handles guns with ease for hunting, sport and training. And she's one of a growing number of women venturing into the world of guns, either as part of the outdoor experience or for self-defense.

Women increasingly have become a profitable new target customer for gun-shop owners and firearms manufacturers.

"In short, Croney is the legendary "shy Trump voter."

In a large survey of people who voted in November's presidential election, conducted for the NRA by On Message, Inc., pollsters found that nearly 20 percent of those who chose Trump never told anyone they intended to do so. They interviewed voters in Florida, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio and Pennsylvania."

Keep this in mind when Trump's approval numbers come out every week. If 20% didn't tell anyone they intended to vote for Trump, it stands to reason they won't tell a pollster they approve of him or won't even get involved with the poll.

Conservative men and women are actually having great social success organizing couple’s evenings at shooting ranges all across the country.

That’s totally believable. I was never shy about telling people right from the beginning that I was for Trump but most everyone I know was for Trump and they didn’t talk about it. Unless in the same company as other Trump supporters. I don’t mind answering legitimate political polls but I have caller ID and never answer numbers and things I don’t recognize.

I would like to see dimocrats try to come up with a reason to take guns away from women that is not going to sound sexist. LOL! If they were still in control of everything that could stage a fake shooting disaster where some women that were all pms’d or menapaused up got drunk and shot up a volunteer firehouse because their husbands hung out there instead of going home. Or something like that. Since they are not in charge, I don’t know how they are going to pull off taking guns away from women.

Redheads w/ guns? Is there a site for that and do they accept strawberries?

States have gotten gun friendlier. I sure hope the new attitude comes to NY soon.

Free Republic’s own Second Amendment Sisters pioneered the modern ‘women with guns’ movement when they stood and marched against Hillary Clinton and the so-called Million Mom March in 2000.

Actually, it was the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show that was boycotted. The name change to GAOS happened when the NRA took over production.
