Gabby Giffords: Gun Control for Women's Sake Now
breitbart.com ^ | 9/13/2014 | AWR Hawkins

On September 12, TIME magazine ran a column by gun control proponent Gabby Giffords, in which she argued that gun control must be expanded for women's sake.

Giffords' starts the column by revisiting the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) under Bill Clinton. She says that law has been good--"annual rates of domestic violence have dropped by more than half" since its passage--but she does not think it goes far enough.

She wants a more stringent VAWA, one that expands gun control beyond marriage and into dating relationships. This would include new gun control laws for boyfriends, "partners," etc. And as Breitbart News reported on July 30, it would mean new gun laws for stalkers.

Would that be considered discrimination? Where the heck is the “mens” sake? Where is the transgender (transformer)sake? What about hetero sake? Homo sake? EPA approved sake not from a ditch? This could go on and on and on...............

That proposal is about the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. And as a woman, it is insulting.

So who wrote this drivel and stuck Giffords’ name on it?

Would “gabby” make a video with her discussing her proposal? I doubt if she can string two sentences together. A LIB with a gun splatted her brain around quite a bit. Her insufferable ass if a husband is using and abusing her.

Good point. But soon, since we have to pay for sex change operations and welcome transgenders in the military, most of the women will have been initially enlisted as men.

Sorry. I met too many A-10 pilots who knew her to think very highly of Martha McSally, Lt. Col. USAF Ret. She pro-illegal immigration and a darling of the GOP-E to boot.

From the Time mag: “if the abuser has access to a gun, it increases the chance that a woman will die by 500 percent.

This is one reason why American women are 11 times more likely to be shot to death than their peers in other countries,...”

Maybe the reason is in other countries they just decapitate them, and in many countries it is completely OK to do so?

“dating partner abuse”

But your honor, I SWEAR it wasn’t a date:

it was just a one night stand, we didn’t even kiss much less have sex, we went dutch, it was a booty call and SHE called me, we didn’t go to a movie OR dinner, I didn’t give her flowers, we didn’t order drinks, she drove HER car, she signed an affidavit BEFORE we met that it wasn’t a date, I PAID her to have sex. I swear your honor it wasn’t a date.

Still more daffy - and unconstitutional - anti-gun crap.

Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the VAWA.

Why doesn’t she shut up and go away? Where are her minders? Doesn’t anyone realize she keeps embarrassing herself?

Did she write it all or was it ghost written and given her name to boost the profile?
