R.L."Larry" Wilson knows this about women: they aren't afraid to pull the trigger.
Women shoot eagerly -- for necessity, for sport and for fun.
Women are good shots. They are as good as -- some say better than -- men.

"Women are good shots"
When my Mom used to be inclined to do so (mid 1960's), she would go out with the other relatives to shoot jackrabbits around the gravel pits. She any my Aunt didn't want to kill them, so the girls just practiced shooting through the jack's ears.

R.L."Larry" Wilson knows this about women: they aren't afraid to pull the trigger. Awhile back, I showed my wife how to load, handle, aim and shoot. She enjoys punching holes in paper as much as I do. We're working on the marksmenship. She especially likes to shoot the one with a hundred-round clip, a .22 Calico.
With 2 million defensive gun uses a year, the biased media does women and men a disservice by failing to report on them, even the "high-profile" cases, where the media has neglected to report a gun was involved.
Is it any wonder that eventually what happened in other countries will happen here, too.

The media have been giving the gun world a hard time since President Kennedy was shot, but that would change if the issue were looked at closely, Wilson said. A good point that I haven't seen made often enough. One of those "eeeeevil" guns killed Saint John, so that explains the irrational hatred so many in the media elite have for them.

Do you want to drive a libbie insane?
Tell her that women are too weak and immature to have guns. When she starts to get upset, tell her that's exactly what her argument is.
Watch her brain explode.

Nothing wrong with girls and guns, they just don't belong on the battlefield.
