If you have felt disappointed because Secretary of State John Kerry hasn’t yet joined most of his Obama administration colleagues to offer an ignorant opinion on the gun debate, well, this post is for you.

Salazar in Colorado says that CU women only need a “rape whistle”. They want to ban guns from law abiding persons so that only criminals can carry.
That's because they're here being afraid of guns.
