In her opening remarks, Director Hidalgo highlighted a startling statistic: over half of the women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or former intimate partner, and the presence of firearms increases the risk of homicide by 500%.

Correlation? If drug addicts and thugs and are violent people, then that increases the likelihood they murder. It also increases the likelihood they have guns, either legal or illegal. It's not the same as 'buy a gun and the chances of being murdered go up 500%," is it? This seems like gun grab stats.

IF more women were trained to use their own firearm to defend themselves that statistic would drop to zero.

“Intersection” - I’m so sick and tired of that word I’ve become allergic to it.

Any story that has it, I avoid. I immediately know the slant it’s going to take.

Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)

So much to rip out of this monolithic evil government!

Debt is $ 36 trillion and growing every minute. As a side note for comparison purposes, the total value of U.S. real estate is approximately $52 trillion.

Thel two figures are growing closer!

Stop voting for Democrats and RINOs folks or there is no future.

This is brilliant by the left, morph guns into a male thing that hurts women, is even directed at women, a dangerous, violent object that has no place in an orderly and nice, feminized society where women can feel safe.

More and more males are being painted as nature’s outdated mistake that is holding back a world of peace and calm made up of women and young children and a cooperative government of social programs and sharing where the female mind and the government mind are in an intellectual and emotional melding of making everything safe and comfortable and undemanding.

Intersection = correlation

Which does NOT mean causation
