I wonder whiy it seems that every time an article like this appears, it has to be written by a woman who is (prior to actualy shooting a .22) utterly unfamiliar and afraid of firearms? Seems the media want the American people to think ALL women are terrified of guns...

Thank God for the Second Amendment rights groups!

utterly unfamiliar and afraid of firearms?

I think this is someting we may not appreciate- the degree to which some peopel are TERRRIFIED of guns/violence.

At the outdoor range I frequent I saw a nebbishy little guy walk up to the line with a couple of 10-12 year old kids- he asked the RO if there was somewhwere else he could shoot- he found the silhouette targets I and a couple of folks were shooting at "sinister."

I cannot even begin to empathize with this guy's mindset. but i suspect it's not that uncommon. bizarre.

In this case I don't think so. It is to get women who are afraid of gun ownership to identify with this lady and be more willing to take a shot at gun ownership.

But they end up as converts, don't they?

Every time one of these fearful ladies fires and comes out convinced and empowered, we all come out better.

I'll cut her considerable slack regarding her 2A views compared to some 'long-time' NRA member who thinks background checks and licensing are just fine.
