GUN OWNERS CAN BE THANKFUL THAT DEMOCRAT TED STRICKLAND IS OUR...

A grandmother's gun

12:10am Monday, May 19, 2008

By Breda of The Breda Fallacy Too often I am saddened by stories of women who fall victim to predators and I am left thinking, "If only..." If only they hadn't walked home alone, if only they hadn't trusted the wrong man...if only they'd had a gun so they could have fought back and won.
