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.

As an aside, in this todays reno gazette journal the following appeared with regards to the background check initiative the nannies are pushing here in NV.

I actually was surprised for the most part that the "fact checker" found the nannies to be liars. The one glaring mis-step is the reference to gun shows yet again and the intimation that there aren't any checks done there. Other than that, not bad for the "fact checker" this time.

Did she write it all or was it ghost written and given her name to boost the profile?
Without the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, you have no other rights; your only have things they allow you to do.
Wait a minute, I thought we were all equals and were to treat all people equally. IF this is true, why laws to supposedly protect women. Furthermore, if women can fight in combat, as defense officials suggest, they certainly should be able to defend themselves without anyone’s assistance.
No, I think I’ll keep my right to bear arms, you stupid, useless, dangerous woman.
Women shouldn’t be drinking sake and handling firearms.
My wife is getting more and more into gun control.
The Sig, the Kahr, the Shield, the Airweight. Yep, she’s got them all under control.
mx. mark kelley-giffords more than likely penned it since I’m not sure she can put it together. Odd how the lib/prog/socialist/dhimmikkkrat anti’s use brain damaged folks to try to get there point across.
Boo Yah! Center of mass!
Yes. My long-ago tagline:
Without the Second, the rest are just politician's promises.
Make more women victims, got it Gabby!
All laws that give special status to any group should be ruled unconstitutional. Women, gays, minorities, etc. should not have special "privileges". I can see an exception for severely handicapped people in necessary instances.
Amen!
More gun control for women’s sake, because women naturally have the upper hand in any physical struggle with a male attacker so if there are no guns involved the woman has a much better chance of defending herself against rape.
Got it.
I want to ask her one question. Why is it alright no matter what gender you are for her or certain others to be protected by guns and not us?
