Well, thanks. Maybe no. But then again, it’s AI and the internet, so maybe she really did say it. But I’ll stop posting the meme for now.
Gloria Steinem, a prominent feminist activist, has been vocal about her support for gun control measures. In 2018, Steinem was among the several notable figures who endorsed the "Never Again" movement, which was initiated by survivors of the Parkland school shooting. This movement advocated for stricter gun control laws to prevent future mass shootings. Steinem's support for gun control aligns with her broader advocacy for policies aimed at ensuring public safety and preventing gun violence. According to Snopes Archives, Steinem's stance on gun control is consistent with her efforts to promote measures that could potentially save lives and reduce the prevalence of firearms in society.According to AZQuotes, Steinem said:
The U.S. has more guns per capita and supplies more guns to the world than any other country. What would be a fistfight without guns turns into dead bodies with them. Families with guns in the house are more likely to shoot themselves accidentally than to shoot any intruder. Women abused by their partners have a five-fold increased risk of being killed when their partner owns a gun. Every three hours, at least one child is wounded or killed by gunfire.So it would appear that someone made an abbreviated attribution for that meme. Fake, but accurate.
