Pat Brown Responds
Wasn’t it just a few months ago when I got wailed on by the left during the Virginia Tech massacre for suggesting kids should carry guns to school to protect themselves? Sometime during the many interviews I did that week I said something to the effect that if we allowed concealed carry on campuses maybe someone would have taken Cho out. I am a big fan of concealed carry because I know criminals carry concealed weapons all the time and I would like to even the field with some honest citizens carrying a few themselves so criminals don’t think no one will shoot back. I think of how many lives would be saved if only someone in the school or company could defend against mass murderers instead of allowing these killers from mowing down a bunch of sitting ducks who are desperately try to hide behind furniture to save their lives.
Good. On her stating that gun ownership might mean you’re a psycho, she says:
Nor was I saying a man who might have a collection of guns is a psychopath. I know many of these men as well. They are hunters or lovers of antiques or do a lot of target shooting. What I was talking about during the Paula Zahn Show was the combination of psychopathic behavior and an obsession with weaponry as psychopath love weapons as it gives them a feeling of power and control. Psychopaths do indeed have a fascination with guns and knives and just because the rest of us might happen to own weapons or even have a number of them as a hobby doesn’t eliminate the fact that psychopaths may also be shopping at the gun store with us.

I heard her say in that infamous video, “psychopaths have weapons.”
You all thought she said, “people who have weapons are psychopaths.”
I’m hopeful that this will be sorted out without too much embarrassment for gun guys or for her.

“Pyschopaths have weapons” is an excellent reason that those of us who are not pyschopaths should have them too. I wonder about those who use the hired guns of government to keep the rest of us unarmed and defenseless; are they not at least the accomplices of murdering “pyschopaths with guns”?

In the clip that I saw, it was the first commenter that caught me as anti-gun.
She said “Another big risk factor we find is men that are gun owners”
Jacquline Campbell, I think is her name.
