IAD opened a "complaint registered" in response to questions raised by the Chicago Sun-Times and by Leslie Landis, domestic violence liaison to Mayor Daley.

I know I'm relieved.  An IAD investigation will take everything back.

The gun laws are designed to appeal to a majority of women.  They feel much safer knowing that it's tough to get ahold of a gun.  Then they are the victims that are unarmed as a result.  The Saturday special guns that are so often touted as "the ones" to limit, are the only protect most poor women can afford.  Consequently the legislation against them turns out to be nothing more than a racist effort to disarm poor minority women.

Gun laws kill people.  They kill the wrong people.  They do not hurt criminals.  They hurt poor defenseless people who cannot arm themselves.

If true, this is the problem to be corrected.

It is horrifying to me that so many women are AFRAID to defend themselves - and their children. I don't know if you had heard of this case - the Sund women who were killed by Cary Stayner near Yostemite Park, and the Yosemite park employee who was beheaded by Stayer, but that case was the precipitating event that sent me out to buy a gun. I had never owned one before, but now I am very comfortable with a .45 auto. I practice often. I believe that my life, and my family's lives, are worth defending.
