When will the NRA put their commercial of the woman defending herself air?

Same scene. Man pulls his gun, you hear the Bang and the scene goes dark. The light comes on and you see the man on the floor. The woman says, “My two friends, Smith and Wesson saved my life.”

Then watch the left’s heads explode.

The violent domestic scenario is only a television ad from a gun control group, but it attempts to portray what some women face.

Once it is found that a guy owns guns, those guns are up for grabs in a divorce custody battle.

Here it is framed as only a threat against women. That isn't true at all. Men can be just as threatened here.

Then there's the issue of the stereotypical male/female stigma, where the guy is subject to all the pressure if the woman decides to cry wolf in order to get custody of the children.

So it's not quite the issue of poor women always being under the gun. Men can be the victim here just as easily as the women, and I would submit it's a lot easier to frame the man and toss out charges that will be taken seriously whether justified or not.

This can have ramifications far beyond the divorce as well.

The only way that 95% of women will ever have equal lethality to a man who has picked to attack her at the time and place of his choosing, is when she when she is armed with a firearm.

Leftists love victims and hate women.

Your video link was the first thing I thought of, while reading this story.

This one is a pretty close second, however ;) Thanks.

And of course, not being able to get a gun legally hardly means he wouldn’t be able to get one.

Or a less lethal version where she points her laser dot equipped pistol at his groin and Daddy doesn’t have to die, or whatever might happen if a bullet went there.

There is a rebuttal/parody ad which is the same ad except the woman is armed (with a shotgun) and when the maggot breaks into her house, she points it at him, he screams and drops his. Worth finding.
