Holding a top-of-the-line gun is supposed to make a person feel powerful

Says whom?

[exit82]

That moment of truth reaffirmed what was already beyond doubt: I am a pacifist, or a coward, depending on your perspective. But just as important, I am a New Yorker. In a city where we all live right on top of one another, playing with guns feels as out of place as wearing prairie dresses and engaging in plural marriage.

What a ridiculous statement.

Place her in the middle of Cenral Park at midnight and see how long this feeling lasts.

She exists only due to the exertion of better men and women than her to risk their lives to protect her.

The question is, why?

An elitist mistakes her fearful state of dependency for intellectual sophistication.

New York City is "one of the hardest places in the world to buy a gun," Kaminer reports.

For a law-abiding citizen.

After Bloomberg’s illegal ‘sting” at the Phoenix Crossroads of the West gun show, I think it should be mandatory for Ariel Kaminer’s address to be published. After all those poor home invaders, burglars, rapist and others need to be able to find safer places to ply their trade.

I bet if she got a hold of my weapon she’d feel really powerful especially after she pulled the trigger a few times!

Yikes—a triple post! Sorry, folks.

Laptop phart.

" I am a pacifist target, or a coward victim, depending on your perspective whether I've been raped, robbed or murdered yet."

Fixed.

[Oldpuppymax]

Hey, it’s what the Times is famous for...thoughtful, open-minded reporting!!

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Gun control is the notion that a woman found in an alley raped and strangled with her own pantyhose is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

>New York City is “one of the hardest places in the world to buy a gun,” Kaminer reports.

Ever been to Japan, Ms. Kaminer?

Oh, they can find her address if they want it.

What a stupid thing for anybody to announce. And somewhat proudly, it seems.

I will never understand the mind of a liberal.

The question is, why?

That, indeed, is the most important question.

Each citizen must answer it for themselves, and unfortunately, the answer determines when great nations fall.

I am a pacifist, or a coward, depending on your perspective.

The latter...........from my perspective.
