Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) wants members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on "preventing gun violence against women," the first step to passing (gun control) legislation, she says.

"[M]any of those who perpetrate violence against women are still allowed easy access to firearms," Giffords wrote this month in an open letter to the Judiciary Committee.

Giffords writes that women are more likely than men to be killed or stalked by an intimate partner; and she says having a gun in a household with a history of domestic violence makes it much more likely that a women will be killed there.

Many anti-gunners would say that even if all women were armed, they would still be surprised and unable to react. Well yes, a certain number would not be prepared (just like many men), but undoubtedly there would be more than a few who would be ready...and stay alive.

Lol. Exactly. Sort of like a game of scrabble.

Following their logic, they need to include gays and global warming, minorities....

The new title...

Racist Global Warming is causing gun violence against women, gays and minorities.

Has she heard about the 100 teenage girls that the Muslims kidnapped in Nigeria? I thought so. This war against women they will not touch because it offends a legitimate religion

"...legitimate religion..."

If by "religion" you mean a "religion" of torture, kidnapping, pedophilia, rape, murder, mutiliation, terrorism, etc...then yes.

Gabby Giffords is still exposed to her nutcase husband.
