Heard this commentary this morning and just had to share it. Need to get a E-mail protest going this is Bull.

June 29, 2008
(CBS) Contributor Nancy Giles has a personal opinion about this week's Supreme Court decision upholding a personal right to gun ownership:
:
As far back as the 1700s, the famed explorer Daniel Boone said that "All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife."
Not my definition of happiness.
In modern day New York City, guns are a part of our life. People shoot and are shot almost every day, and a disproportionate number of those people are people of color. How do you deal with that?
I'm scared of guns, never played with guns, and jump whenever a firecracker pops. Gun violence is quick, devastating, and impersonal. Can't we human beings figure out another way of conflict resolution?
I played a cop in a movie once, and when I put on my costume and the big belt to hold my billy club and gun, something weird happened: I looked in the mirror - A black woman with a badge and a gun? Yeah, I was super-bad! I was "Christie Love," and Emma Peel on "The Avengers," and all three of "Charlie's Angels."
(I probably looked more like Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show").
I caught myself posing with the gun and was stunned. What was I doing? Guns aren't toys, they're not sexy, and they're not some accessory. They're for real. I put the gun back in my belt and never touched it again.
According to the NRA, there are an estimated 200 million privately-owned firearms in the United States, including almost 65 million handguns. Good grief! Who owns them? Private citizens, and members of groups as varied as Gays and Lesbians for Individual Liberty, 126 Women State Legislatures, and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
I know they don't all think like Daniel Boone, and I wonder why some still hunt when you can get meat already wrapped at the supermarket. I'd like to understand them better.
The comedian Chris Rock had a brilliant idea that I think both gun owners and gun control advocates could agree with (or "agree to").
Instead of gun control, he says, "we need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost five thousand dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders."
Sounds like a good start to me.

NO, she just thinks as most liberals do. Guns are only evil in the hands of unwashed civilians.
Funny how she will mention that a majority of the people shot in N.Y. City are "people of color" because most of the shooters are of the same. Sadly, she and others like here will never lecture her fellow "people of color" and tell them to quit shooting each other. NO, instead she will lecture me (just a plain old white, no color) and try to take away my guns. Of course, if she were able to outlaw guns, I would have to give up my guns since I am a lawful gun owner. But her obviously law-breaking "people of color" would continue their law-breaking ways and keep their guns.

That lady is a poster child for abortion.
Somehow, I doubt "they" are purchasing the ammo legally either.
heard that dizzy broad spew her mindless "knowledge" this morn & wanted to scream...bad people have guns....good people do not....why is crime???? media types are incapable of adding 2+2....
Agreed fully how do you get that point across. Same as why add new gun control laws why not enforce the old thing of use a gun it adds to you sentence. Which is on the books in most states. Make Prison a place you do not want to go to. I say Fish heads and rice for these idiots.
As a black woman, maybe she just hasn't learned to drop the slave mentality.

She just doesn't get it..and probably never will. Hunting is not just about stocking the freezer, its our heritage and even if I am unsuccessful in my hunt, most of the enjoyment for me is being out there, stalking and testing myself against the elements.
