Chicks and Guns
Your sexism is showing
Jessica notes on her blog that a commentator named kip says:
‘Scuse me, you’re a woman, and you’re AGAINST gun control?
If I opined that women were, of course, more likely to support gun control because of their inherently nannyish nature, at least one feminist (i.e., the only one I read and take seriously because she happens to be not insane) would probably write some sort of holy litany to my soul. And I’d be a sexist.
Anyway, the fastest growing demographic in the shooting sports is women. And there’s a lot of them.
And squeaky reports new chicks and guns are forthcoming.

More women should be armed and concerned about the protection of the 2nd Amendment. We are smaller, we are weaker, we are natural prey for predators.
Can you imagine how drastically crime rates would drop if more women decided that they should start protecting themselves?

Reminded me of an unattributed quote:
Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

My .sig file attributes that quote to L. Neil Smith

Heh, my girlfriend (who had never touched a gun before she met me) now argues that gun bans effectively promote violence against women and are inherently anti-feminist.

The vast majority of my female friends and relatives are pro-gun-control, and for two reasons:
1) They are hugely uninformed about gun rights issues;
2) They are personally afraid of guns, ergo guns are bad.
