WTF Do Gun Control Advocates Expect a Woman to Do to Defend Herself?

First of all, I'm sick and tired of the National Rifle Association. They represent gun owners like me just like the Ku Klux Klan represents white men like Veep Joe Biden: NOT AT ALL. They are opposed to the most sensible of restrictions, like universal background checks and bans on semi-auto rifles. Their response to everything is, "MORE GUNS!!!" Let's get that bullshit out of the way - the NRA has no solution to the question of how a woman can defend herself when she is cornered.

On the other side, however, is this nonsense, while not as stupid as the NRA, it is still nonsense.

I've got a question for people who push this meme.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT A WOMAN TO DO TO PROTECT HERSELF???

Can we get an answer to that, from someone? If you don't advise her to own a gun, what should she do when she's faced with domestic violence, or some rapist breaking into her house, with kids huddling behind her?

What, no answer? Don't worry. I'll wait. I've got all the time in the world for you to figure that out. Those women out there with animals beating down their door? Not so much. Think on that. WTF is she gonna do to defend herself?

A Thousand Years of Blackness: Voters Now Consider An Endorsement by the National Rifle Association To Be a LIABILITY!

Disclaimer: As per this blog post, this is a parody of Chuck Norris's hysterical "Thousand Years of Darkness" plea for right wingers to get out and vote against President (Re-elected!!!) Obama. In his video he ranted about the coming death of "freedom" in America. As a result, I have started a series of blogs that seek to rub it into Conservatives' faces when one of their misguided, cherished "freedoms" are lost, or when a new idea proposes to take those "freedoms" away. This blog post, thus, highlights yet another one of the worst possible nightmares that Conservatives could ever face: the voters they've been trying to hoodwink for so long, consider a political endorsement by the NRA to be a bad thing. Oh noes. All your guns are belong to Obama, the Communist dictator who has never shot someone for calling him a Communist dictator...

(Disclaimer: I own guns. I do not support the NRA or their extremist stance, though. Gun ownership isn't even as regulated as car ownership, and that needs to change.)


Voters consider NRA endorsement a negative



Much has been made in recent weeks about the NRA's political strength, but PPP's newest national poll finds more voters consider their endorsement to be a negative than a positive. 39% say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who had the NRA's support to just 26% who say they'd be more likely to, with 32% saying it wouldn't influence them one way or the other. Among independents 41% consider an NRA endorsement to be a turn off to 27% who say it's a plus.
In general 53% of voters say they support stricter gun laws in the country to 39% who are opposed to them. Those numbers are basically identical to a 53/40 spread a month ago, suggesting that the desire for stronger legislation has not died down as Newtown gradually fades from voters' minds. On the specific issue of an assault weapons ban 51% of voters are supportive to 42% who are opposed. It has support from a solid majority of Democrats, as well as 26% of Republicans.
