Uh, Ms. Giles, it's time to find your inner Ripley.
Bad times up ahead.

Huh?
With only 50 states, I'm betting the writer meant "126 Women State Legislators."
Perhaps there's another way, but neither carpet bombing nor napalm offer the surgical precision presented with guns. Too much collateral damage.
I can't imagine a better place to be dropped at 2 a.m. in the morning than in one of the aforementioned places with out benefit of conceal carry. Why I am sure that in all those cities the locals would see to my well being instantaneously. The Democrats tell me it is so ... I really don't have any reason to be armed ... Democrats tell me they take care of me. Thew will make my grass green and my s**t not stink.
Hey .. lets all move to South Chicago .. form a line along the Dan Ryan and sing Kumbaya.....
We choose to live in thre rural towns of midwest because we love the excitement of the crimes around us. Dripping sarcasm.
Yes i beleive you are right but considering the stupidity of the artical i furgured i would blow it well out of proportion as our liberal/commie freinds do !

Alright, a son of one of my direct ancestors was married Susannah Bryan, a sister of Rebecca Bryan, who was married to Daniel Boone.
Uh, Ms. Giles, it's time to find your inner Ripley.
Bad times up ahead.
Then there's the Collins family ~ lots and lots of girls out on the Indiana, Kentucky and SW Ohio frontier ~ wild women at the least, and several of them married Oneida technical support personnel (mixed white/Indian people with knowledge of guns and iron work).
Best line up available on the early Indiana settlers is what is called the Collins-Richey book. It links thousands of folks together including the Boones.
If some liberals actually went out and talked to people who disagree with them, it would be a good thing. But they don't.
It sure is. Lately, taking a job in Starbucks seems to be signing your own death warrant.
Nancy Giles (born July 17, 1960) is an American actress and comedienne.
I think we should ban so-called comediennes.
>> I’m scared of guns, never played with guns, and jump whenever a firecracker pops. Gun violence is quick, devastating, and impersonal. Can’t we human beings figure out another way of conflict resolution?
Sounds like a clear case of armophobia (think homophobia, but with guns instead of gays). Generally speaking, fear can often stem from a lack of understanding or familiarity.
My suggestion — buy a gun and learn to use it.
>> As far back as the 1700s, the famed explorer Daniel Boone said that “All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.” Not my definition of happiness.
I’d say that’s pretty close to my definition of happiness. Swap the horse for a medium-rare porterhouse and a Cowboys game, and we’ve got my Bibilical interpretation of Heaven.
>> In modern day New York City, guns are a part of our life. People shoot and are shot almost every day, and a disproportionate number of those people are people of color. How do you deal with that?
Buy a gun. That way, the dead guy might just be the bad guy.

That's treating the first amendment like the second.
Move to the 40th floor of whatever cement and steel NYC sh*thole is within your price range, Nancy. You’ll be safe there.
Savages still abound. There are the Godless tribes of the Dems, the Libbers, and the Progressives...to ntion a few of the largest...Then there are the Crips, the Aryans, the MS 13s, the ACLU, the GBLT, to mention a few of the more ruthless tribes of creatures who are lower than animals..
No, she’s just jealous. She would never in a million years make anyone a good wife.
“Frontiers” come in a variety of shapes and forms. If you think the only danger you ever faced was from marauding renegades or mountain lions, take a walk through East St. Louis after the sun goes down. A lot of America’s cities — oddly enough, the ones with the strictest gun control — are far more dangerous than the “frontier” ever was.
Wonder how this IDIOT “reporter” might feel had SHE been the victim in this TRUE STORY:
Please forward this TRUE STORY to everyone you can. May Diane Feinstein, Rosy O’Donnell, Hillary Clinton and all other politico-celebrity types who work so sanctimoniously to disarm the average American, while they themselves maintain their armed guards, one day find themselves permanently ensconced in that special place in hell reserved for the hypocritical, self-serving elitists who denigrate personal
self-defense while they hire others to do their wet work for them.

Just another day with Gun Control, January 16, 2000
by Jim Houck
The movie I went to see today, at the request of my film managers, was Hurricane starring Denzel Washington. I write feature films. I write TV ads for the largest advertising agencies on earth for clients like Toyota, Ford, Sony and Coke. I am the “Hollywood crowd” that the liberal press lies about so often.
I arrived early at the Torrance, California AMC 20 Theaters, so I bought my ticket and sat on a bench just outside the front lobby under a palm tree for about half an hour, enjoying the many different faces, the playing kids, the adults.
A flood of Californians streamed out suddenly. A young girl had been attacked by a criminal who had just shot her.
“Is the shooter stopped?” I asked, reaching for my Heckler & Koch USP .45, running for the lobby with the intent to kill the criminal before he could injure or kill more of We the People.
“No, nobody can do anything! He’s just walking around like he owns the place!” a California woman cried, trembling like a mouse before the lion. And indeed, the criminal did.
I ripped up my leather jacket and found my holster missing. I didn’t have my .45 with me today. I’d opted not to take it just this one time at the advice of the local Californians, avoid the hassle of the California cops if they discover it, I thought, save the massive court costs of exercising my right. “Don’t get caught, the street officers will hook you and book you and let the judges sort it out,” a friend and local California police officer had told me repeatedly. Besides, it was three in the afternoon next door to Palos Verdes Estates, one of the most affluent and lowest crime areas in the United States.
My decision to leave my self defense at home very likely cost the young man who would be shot next his life. I have extensive, combat firearms training. I’ve been in three gun battles with criminals in New Orleans and Miami in the defense of myself twice and a Miami police officer once, and I’ve never missed nor have I lost. The criminals did.
Of course the criminal didn’t know these things. He didn’t know he was in a “low crime” area and he didn’t seem to care that it was three in the afternoon on a Sunday. All he knew was that he was operating in Senator Diane Feinstein¹s wet dream, a theater of perfect Gun Control. Not one citizen in the large crowd of moms, dads, young men or young women had a firearm with which to defend themselves. So they ran. But the funny thing is, they didn’t run very fast and the certainly didn’t run very far, in fact, many basically hurried and stood around and complained about not being able to finish their show. You see, criminals being in full control is nothing new in California. It’s not news. It didn’t excite these folks.
I stopped outside the lobby doors. No gun. No way to fight this criminal, I thought.
The shooter fired again, dropping a young man next. Well, the California people voted this idiocy through, they repeatedly elect servants like Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer as state senators, people who take away their rights to self defense and the defense of their families, I thought, let them deal with the consequences of their decisions. Of course the criminal walked out the back of the AMC 20 Theaters and vanished long before the local police could wade through the Sunday traffic and do the paperwork. At least they were nice enough to come. They didn’t have to. They responded as a “courtesy” according to the Supreme Court. They have no legal duty to protect the individual from criminal assault or murder. Something surprisingly few people know, especially in California.
I looked at the downed young man. He would die, judging from my own personal
experiences as a shooter of over 20 years and where the criminal had injured him. The girl, barring very unusual circumstances, she would live, judging from where the criminal had injured her and her loss of blood.
The police put pressure on the injuries to try and reduce the bleeding from the criminal attack. Another courtesy service.
I sat back down on the bench and watched the Californians as they angrily demanded their ticket money be refunded, the victims of the criminal lying ten yards from them, moaning, dying.
A man with his wife in the line of angry movie patrons turned to me and growled, “I’m surprised Feinstein isn’t here already. And the liberal mainstream press. You know, we carry our guns anyway and we didn’t bring them today because it’s such a hassle to have to hide them all the time from the local cops. What a bunch of shit. Just look at that guy. He’s probably going to die.”
Thanks, Senator Feinstein. As a resident of Florida, in Los Angeles working on feature film scripts with my L.A. based managers, it’s interesting to see how your Prohibition on self defense, “Gun Control” works. Of course, had you been there to see The Hurricane, your armed bodyguards would have used their semi-automatic, high capacity “assault weapons” to stop the criminal dead in his tracks, which is what the bastard richly deserved. Funny, Diane, with all your SB 23s and SB 15s and Prohibition on self defense, the criminal still badly hurt and perhaps killed two young kids who just went to see a movie on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Why call it “gun control?” Why not rename it “defenseless sheep” or the “citizen massacre laws?” Or maybe just simple “bullshit.”
Wish you could have been there Diane to see how your idiotic laws work in real life. It was memorable.
