Why Reasoned Discoursetm matters and some gun help
In comments here, Lissa Kay says:
I used to count myself amongst the ‘antis’ and it was truly based on emotions. A fear reaction, for sure. When I was 16, late one night I found myself on the wrong end of a gun being wielded by an old perv that wanted to have his way with my young, nubile body. It ended well with him in handcuffs and myself untouched, though completely traumatized. Ever since, I have had a total fear of guns, and sided with those that would severely restrict access.
However, in recent years, I have listened more closely to the ‘other side’ and have pretty much made a complete turn-around in my thinking. Keyword there … thinking, rather than gut reaction.
Now, due to circumstances that make it a prudent choice, I find myself seriously considering the purchase of a defensive weapon for myself … and I am wide open to advice and suggestions.
How about that … not only could you claim that you convinced an ‘anti’ over to the ‘pro’ side, you might even help place a gun in her hands.
Excellent. Since she may not be back to that comment section. Head over to her blog and give her some advice.
