I think this article actually comes from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, for anyone who cares. That's our conservative-ish paper.

But let's be honest: Do any of us know of anyone who wasn't, say, a cast member of "Bonanza" or an Iraqi who recently defended their homestead with a firearm? For further information, consult the Armed Citizen column published monthly by the NRA, or your local Police Blotter.

But when danger comes to call, many have the gun-armed police on speed dial. I expect that bad guys know this and cut the phone lines first.

After having read this, I can absolutely agree with his premise in one case: His.
Mike Seate is clearly a woman.

Me too! My 17 year old daughter and I each received a gun for Christmas. They were by far our favorite gifts.

"The NRA is like the Boy Scouts for grown men who like to romanticize themselves as John Wayne fighting off the enemy in some movie. It's just a scam that scares men into spending money they don't have on expensive guns," wrote Yvette Castigliano, of Ambridge, Beaver County. They probably see it as a better investment than spending money they don't have on expensive wives.

Nearly every man I heard from claimed to own guns to "protect my family" or to ward off some ambiguous evil. But let's be honest: Do any of us know of anyone who wasn't, say, a cast member of "Bonanza" or an Iraqi who recently defended their homestead with a firearm?1986. Running a rooming house, co-owned with my older-woman girlfriend. I was attacked by a run-amuck visitor who beaned me with a steel pipe. He was still running after me, with the pipe raised, when I ran into the office and wheeled around with the shotgun.
If this author had his way, I'd be dead.

too easy -- like duck-hunting with an AK-47.LOL
I've never actually tried this, but I sincerely doubt it would be easy at all. Classic example of someone who quite literally doesn't have a clue about what firearms are or how they work, but still insists on writing about them, and expects to be taken seriously.
Even a cursory amount of research would have told him that an AK is a rifle, and that people seldom hunt ducks with a rifle, and that there is a good reason for this.

BTW, I required 6 stitches, and since it was a scalp-level wound, you can imagine how nasty that was.
No concussion or fracture, though.

But let's be honest: Do any of us think, on the basis of this article, that Mike Seate is anything but a limp-wristed moron?

Several women were outraged, not by the myth-making of guns but by their impracticality.Guns don't make myths and they're only impractical in the hands of the ignorant.
