Ready, Willing and Able: Today's Female Gun Owners

Amen to that, brother.

But....here in the Big Apple it took me over a year to get a license.

From the link....

‘I like to photograph where I live. The majorities are from Houston and surrounding towns,’ the 55-year-old said of her subjects. ‘They come from diverse backgrounds, each with their own individual story and personal motivations.’

She said the armed women are often unassuming and unexpected: young mothers with their babies at supermarket checkout counters, grandmothers walking their dogs, or women pulling up outside shopping centers. ‘My photographs showcase the diversity of this population,’ she said.

She added: ‘However, I found a commonality in their response to the question, “are you prepared to pull the trigger to protect yourself or your loved ones?” The answer from the women in this collection of portraits is a resounding “yes”.’

I knew a lady who bought a gun for protection once.

Imagine her horror when she came home from a nice dinner with her husband and found her son had killed himself with it. Divorce and recriminations followed, as you can imagine.

Sad story......no relevance here.....

gun suicides are down joe........get caught up.

1,500,000 times a year people use guns to stop violent crime and save lives......sad as your story is....it isn't even close to being relevant....

357,000,000 guns in private hands.....suicide is a choice....and in Japan, South Korea, and China...where only criminals and police have access to guns..they have higher suicide rates than we do....France also has a higher suicide rate than we do....

Guns are not the issue...mental health is.

19,200 of them are 'down' by you?

Dude, we fucking BANNED lawn darts when a handful of kids got killed by them.

It usually just takes one tragedy to get action on something. But we have 19,200 tragedies a year.

Oh, wait, before you waste my otherwise productive afternoon with your pre-canned "Founding Fathers" and NRA Talking points, let's be truly blunt.

Guns in the home kill far more people in the home than bad guys trying to hurt people in the home.

Nope.....the anti gun study you keep citing used bad guys in their homes shooting each other to get their number....they ignored normal people who own guns.......

And why is it you only care about gun suicides...when suicide by other means is just as bad.......and just about the same rate.....

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

Here are the stats on some common types of death....it would be better to start a crusade to teach people how to walk upright...and save them from falling deaths...you would save more lives.....

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

guns, drowning and poisoning....

If you cared about people....you would push to ban the following...

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

Cars, Accidental deaths 2013......35,369

Poisons...accidental deaths 2013....38,851

Alcohol...accidental deaths 2013...29,001

gravity....accidental falling deaths 2013...30,208
Accidental drowning.....3,391
Accidental exposure to smoke, fire and flames.....2,760



Gun Suicide: 21,175

Non gun suicide: 19,974

Cars accidentally kill a lot more people than people do using guns to intentionally take their own lives...yet not a peep about that......

joe.....twit....I just wish the NRA used my talking points.......notice.....I rarely if ever use anything from the NRA....usually only the Armed Citizen stories they collect from news sources around the country.....

You know this...but lie anyway....

No one has a right to own lawn darts. dumb fuck. LOL

Unfortunate, yet had she had no gun, would he then have decided to not commit suicide? I don't believe his decision was based on weaponry. Robin Williams was successful with cloth.

I need mine for protection and shooting skeet. There is no reason for you to remove a right that I was given in the 1700's because of a mentally disturbed millennial. My children sat down to dinner every night with a rifle in the corner, and never felt the need to kill themselves, or each other, and have productive lives to this day. Apparently guns had nothing to do with their mental condition.

Putting homicides, suicides and accidental deaths all in one category is lying... Lol

well, yeah, guns make suicide easier.

You see, another female friend of mine had a son who tried to commit suicide, too. But since they didn't have a gun in the house, he had to drink bleach, and they got him to the hospital in time to save him.

See how that works, Dick Tiny.

So It will be fun watching you spew your 30 pages of Gun Masturbation on this thread like you do twenty times a day for some reason.

Maybe, but the fact that guns are available make suicide attempts more frequent and more successful.

There's a bunch of skeet outside your house with intent to do you harm? Skeet Lives Matter!

There is no reason for you to remove a right that I was given in the 1700's because of a mentally disturbed millennial.

You know what, I don't base my policy decisions on what some slave-raping asshole thought was a good idea in the 1700's. T hose guys shit in chamberpots, owned slaves and bleed themselves when they got sick. Nobody thinks any of those things are a good idea today.

Why owning a gun in every home, even homes with mentally disturbed teens in them, is a good idea, is a good idea today is a good question.

Joe...again...Japan, South Korea and China only allow their criminals and cops to have guns......and yet their suicide rate is higher than ours........and France, which also outlaws private ownership of guns also has a higher suicide rate than we do....in fact....we are surpassed by a lot of countries that have extreme gun control......

No joe...you base your policy decisions on psychological issues......a phobia about guns...since the facts, the truth and the reality about guns in the United States don't make a dent in your beliefs....

Oleg Volk has tons of photos he's done of women with guns

It's the gun's fault. Not the parents ignoring warning signs, not depression, not the son who decided to off himself, it was the gun.

Clearly if we get rid of guns, no one will drink Drain-o, jump off of bridges, hang themselves, unbuckle their seatbelt and drive into an oak tree, slice down the road instead of across the street, or step in front of a train.

We should totally outlaw belt manufacturers, the people who make plastic bags, and porn stars because right now, somewhere in America, someone is engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation and will end up killing themselves. If it saves just one life, it's totally worth it.

I was in the army for 11 years. I'm not afraid of guns.

I'm afraid unstable asshole with small dicks can get guns, and kill a room full of preschoolers with them.

The rest of the world has figured this out. We haven't. We are doubling down on the crazy.

Maybe, maybe not. But those options have a chance for survival, and a chance to prevent. Gun suicide, not so much.

no joe...you are basing your decisions on the actual practices of raping, mass murdering socialists from around the world...in the last 97 years, who first disarmed all of their victims before they murdered them...

Tell that to Japan, South Korea, China, France, Poland, and many other countries in Europe where the criminals and cops have guns but not the normal, law abiding people...and they all have higher suicide rates than we do.
