Lawmakers say Ohio shooting won't change nation's gun rights

52. Gun control reform...

...that addresses the still unacceptably high level of gun violence, while balancing the concerns of gun owners and victims, in order to reduce the number of criminal acts committed with guns.

My turn: You were explicitly requested by a female member of DU to change your over-the-top and crass signature line and still have not done so. Do you not care that by all accounts a reasonable woman finds it to be out-of-line?

A little off topic here, but...

please reconsider your "definition" of gun control at the end of your posts.

For the record, we are gun owners in this home. My husband is an avid sportsman. I don't know enough about guns and during his retirement we're going to spend some time on that.

I had a very close family member who was raped. I won't go into any detail about it, but there is no way she could have reached for a gun at any time.

Your "definition", which I'm sure is well-meant, is actually just causing some people here consternation about very painful episodes in their lives.

I know you mean no disrespect and am quite sure that you don't actually want to turn people away from what you believe in.

Thanks for listening.

Do you not care or do you care and still don't give a shit how offensive that little screed that seems to be all over the right-wing gun nut blogosphere is to women because it politicizes rape?
