Welcome back from the dark side, Susan. I was an antigunner in high school myself.

That's about as powerful a testimonial as I have ever read.

Hope it gets widely distributed.

A RKBA bumpity-bump. Had a nice range session yesterday, ladies in the lanes on either side. Ah, the smell of gunpowder and perfume in the morning...

Nice read. This is the crux of the issue and of the author's epiphany:

"I started to seriously think and probe into the nature of my fear, and over time I began to see how that fear had affected my philosophical and political activities."

Irrational fear of inanimate objects, of simple machines, is at the heart of the PR battle over guns. Without it, the enemies of freedom are helpless.

I've never met or even heard of anyone who starts out pro-gun and ends up anti-gun....

I commend the author. Changing yourself as an adult, such as this lady did, is no easy feat.

As Rush says, "you've got to be willing to believe the truth when you hear it".

There is a quote somewhere that mentions that there is no greater fanatic than the newly converter. In this case, it's a welcome change.

I think the root of her conversion was realizing that she was being lied to. She wasn't safer without a gun and the her attackers weren't disarmed because she was.

I noticed that a large number of people become anti-self defense because they lost a member of their family to "gun violence". We already know what the actual victims would say if they could do it over again and it wouldn't bear any resemblance to what the anti's believe.

Excellent!

In the 20th century, we have born witness to and noted in our history texts account after account of mass extermination of people. What most people fail to understand, however, is that the precursor to these events of extermination came the disarmament of citizens, sometime specific groups, through the legislative vehicle of "gun control." This "gun control" legislation surfaced in the form of penal codes, decrees, ordinances and acts which required permitting, collection of lists of gun owners by the government officials, bans on possession of handguns, and in many cases lead to firearm confiscation.

I agree with that.

Come to think of it... me neither!

[harpseal]

I truely love to see the unelightened seeing the truth in any way that it can happen.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

LOL!

Women and guns. A great duo. Almost as powerful as young people and guns.

*************

What part of "...SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED..." do these people not understand?

*************

Why should I trust a government that doesn't trust me to carry a gun?

It can happen. I think Al Gore was once pro-gun. Then he decided it was much more politically expedient to be anti-gun. After all, he'd have armed protection regardless of what anti-gun statutes got passed.

[MileHi]

Haven't bumped into you for a while. Great post.

Kinda like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon and realizing that this would be a good spot for a guardrail..............regardless of the environmental impact on the blue eared dink wallow !

Stay Safe !!
