I did not like the article, it seemed all over the map to me,

It's "blatherspeak", for the pseudo-intellectuals on the Left who might actually deign to read this.

[ridesthemiles]

SELF DEFENSE should be the strongest emotion any of us have.

[grobdriver]

That was a lot of words to say, “I’ve been an idiot all of my life, and I apologize.”

[DeplorablePaul]

A neo conservative is a liberal who got mugged.

[cyclotic]

Naomi Wolf had become a solid strong voice against forced vaccinations. We’ve seen her speak at several rally’s.

As a liberal she’s welcomed with open arms by the mostly conservative crowd.

[Tench_Coxe]

I saw the author.

I'm begimning to believe she understands what is at stake.

We might have another Andrew Breitbart.

-- Sun Tsu has a famous quote that stated the ultimate warrior is the one who gets their enemy to choose not to fight. --

I don't know if it's Sun Tzu of Machiavelli, but another principle is that it is better take over a country without going to war. Just get the other country's politicians to do things favorable for your country. Make them your puppet (better still if they view their action as independent), and you get the goods (other country's labor and natural resources) without the conflict.

Heck, she is a writer, supposedly a good on (as Leftists judge them, apparently) but this was a stream of consciousness.

Gee, I wonder what those parties she attends in the Hamptons will be like after this opinion piece...

To understand the benefits of firearms in private hands, one must have the desire and ability to reason carefully as to what is the surest source of personal and national security. But emotions run high after the slaughter of innocents by maniacs with guns. And emotion destroys the ability to reason.

The danger of not having firearms available to citizens is a threat to the security of millions. And now, emotion is being used to threaten the God given, natural right of self-defense.

At present, we are in a struggle against an emotion fired resistance that won't see reality until they have to ask for permission to cross the street from the likes of Pelosi. History and common sense underwrite the maxim that the benefits of firearm ownership by citizens far outweigh the risks created by gun bans.

[GreyHoundSailor]

That’s where I stopped reading - she doesn’t grasp the concept of a ‘right’ yet.

[1Old Pro]

These guys must get paid by each word, the article is way too long.

They are writers, it's what they do. But I actually enjoyed the context. It is well written and sensical.

[dforest]

Naomi really came around to awakening regarding covid and the fake vaxes. She is being totally honest here and you can guess why she needs a firearm.

One thing bothers me about us, our side. So many seem to be unable to accept and applaud those that have awakened from the left to come around to reality.

They should be welcomed, not badmouthed and punished.

[Vaquero]

Once you steal an election a police state is there to protect it. It’s here but it quite in full force yet.

[Bon of Babble]

I thought about what would happen to rapists and abusers if young women — if women in general — were armed...

1. Handguns are a girl's best friend.

2. I believe in Women's Rights: The right for women to defend themselves with deadly force.

3. The only thing that stops a rape is a gun.

Anyone breaking into my home, who gets past my dogs - the last thing he will ever hear is clack-clack.

[Pollard]

We don’t know who the unnamed, dark-clad — police? Mercenaries? — were, who violently beat the Canadian truckers, and we don’t know who the unnamed dark-clad — police? Mercenaries? — were, who violently beat the protesters against ‘lockdowns’ in France. There are mercenary armies available to private individuals or nonprofit entities around the world, with a phone call. The Second Amendment, along with our sovereignty, alone protects us from them.

[Pollard]

She demonstrated, hitching the holster around her own hips and tucking the handgun under the waistband of her jeans. Her light cotton summer blouse indeed concealed it.

Sexy

[old-ager]

she agrees

[Big Red Badger]

I as Well,,,,
HELL NO!

[PerConPat]

Agree...Just as the founder, neocon or not, of FrontPage Magazine did; the author has worked her way up out of the commie crap trap of her childhood. Horowitz was one of the first American scholars to pull himself free of his parents' bolshie indoctrination. If David Horowitz and Naomi Wolf can do it, it gives hope that even the libtard sheep in the NEA etc. might one day get it.

“A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

I view the entire sentence as having meaning -

We can live in security in a Police State,

We can live without safety in a Free State,

Or we can have an armed populace.
