Yep...this woman is a hard core anti gun activist, has worked to take the right to own and carry a gun from people....and now she admits that because her neighborhood is so dangerous.....she not only owns a gun, she has a concealed carry permit.....
if only she understood the issue...and how it would be nice if morons like her would stop trying to take that Right away from other law abiding people...
An Anti-Violence Activist Shares Her Reason For Buying A Gun
WILLIAMS: I did everything - legislation.
MITCHELL: Lobbying at the city and county levels for measures like tougher penalties for assault weapons, delegations to the Illinois Capitol.
WILLIAMS: And I was one of the people that helped coronate the trips 'cause I had relationships with a lot of the families who lost their loved ones to gun violence.
MITCHELL: Trips to Washington, meetings with Congress members. It was heady stuff for a former gang member. But last year, her life was upended.
-----
MITCHELL: Walk away. But she still has that gun.
What do you say to people who might see inconsistency with your advocacy and carrying a weapon?
WILLIAMS: The people that will probably say that live in safe communities, never experienced the losses that I've experienced. To me, it's like, I'm not going to die. I'm mentally messed up over this.
MITCHELL: Williams is 29 now. She's raising her son in a relatively safe suburb. She's closing in on her master's degree. She's still a trustee at that community college. If she's OK with carrying a gun, think about the people back in her old neighborhood who have to worry about violence up close every day.
IF this woman actually understood the issue, she wouldn't fight to keep other law abiding people from carrying their own guns...
