Wait, shouldn't women be victims that pee on themselves instead of trying to defend themselves?

Armed with pastel handles and pink holsters, women are storming into gun sales

"I won my first competition a few weeks ago," said May, a single mother who manages one of Craddock's three South Hampton Roads pawn and gun shops. "I have always shot guns before, but I took up competition last fall because of working for them. Skeet shooting is my favorite, it's just so much fun.

"And shooting is extremely empowering. It's a good feeling to know that I can protect myself if I have to."

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, gun ownership among women has risen 77 percent since 2005. The organization says that 5.4 million women these days target shoot and that the main reasons women own guns are for self-defense, hunting and shooting sports — basically the same reasons men cite.

"We had women who had been carjacked, robbed or raped and others who were just scared of what's going on in the world," she said. "We had others that just wanted to learn more and get better at shooting. It turned into a beautiful thing for women to do together, a fellowship where they could share their experiences and bond.

The degree of hoplophobia exhibited here is astonishing. Weapons, and by that I mean anything that could be a weapon, are inanimate. What she's basically stating is she was afraid of her parents because they came into possession of an inanimate object. That's fine but to blame the object itself is, to be kind, silly.

So here's a counter.

Cleveland deli owner opens fire at two men who tried to rob him
Men stop, pull gun on alleged kidnapper in Natchitoches Parish
Police: Roanoke Co. homeowner shoots 27-year-old trying to rob his home
UPDATE: Three arrested after fatal shooting on Tucson’s east side
Chesapeake Police: Man shot by homeowner during attempted break-in

And it goes on and on. This woman is essentially saying these people shouldn't have been able to arm and defend themselves because of her fears. It's really weak sauce.

Can you imagine how many guns there are every place she goes to on a daily basis? Should we start by having everyone of them get rid of their weapons?

She should be taken to a gun range where there's all ages of people, male and female, shooting guns. Maybe she'd have an epiphany or drop dead from sheer phobic fear. Win either way.
