And he's the guy who asks me for facts to back up what I said about the percentage of women gun owners.<br /><br />My contention that 10 or 15 million women gunowners is small percentage is an OPINION.<br /><br />There are 80 million altogether, I say 15% or 20% is "really pretty low."<br /><br />This is one of the pro-gun tricks, to ask for facts or proof as a way of inferring that you have none and are wrong and are making shit up. Sometimes they do this trick in such a sloppy manner, like P did, that the original comment was an opinion or other times it's something that they know damn well there are no facts or stats, but they ask anyway in that disingenious way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-27224493487566247282011-09-29T14:01:39.029+02:002011-09-29T14:01:39.029+02:00"What's stupid about keeping a loaded fir..."What's stupid about keeping a loaded firearm in the home for defense? How is an empty home relevant, except maybe to present a need for defense?"<br /><br />What's stupid is what she said, moron. She appears to think that defending herself/her property is more important (requiring a loaded gun, with a round in the chamber, safety off) than protecting the same property with extra, little, defenseless persons in it. Now do you get it, or were you blinded by the muzzle flash?<br /><br />"I don't have the link at my disposal right now but something like 11 million women hunt."<br /><br />When you have the link at hand (and it's not a link from the NRA or some other Gunzloverz source) bring it to the discussion. Until then, asking Mikeb302000 if he has "facts to back that up?" is unintentionally hilarious.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-54004112762689283832011-09-29T13:51:23.455+02:002011-09-29T13:51:23.455+02:00mikeb302000 sez:

Perhaps used tongue-in-cheek it's OK, but not as a serious attempt to define a group of people.<br /><br />The women pictured are about as representative of women who own guns as the cast of <i>The Beautiful</i> is to depict a normal cross section of society.<br /><br />One other thing I noticed is an exaggerated description of how many they are. Even if the 10 million figure is correct, percentage-wise, that's really pretty low.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-5455822621006863932011-09-29T05:09:56.210+02:002011-09-29T05:09:56.210+02:00Democommie:

I would never, under any circumstances, have a loaded gun in the house if there were children there. That is extremely unsafe.
