Jen’s Reviews > Blown Away: American Women and Guns > Status Update

I just realized the majority of college students, myself included when I was in college, are remarkably dumb because we think we know it all and we DON'T. Despite college being a learning institution, usually following 12 years, or more, of education, free thinking isn't encouraged. It's not until life is lived a bit more that maturity and common sense have a chance to flourish.

Skipping rest of chapter. It's infuriating.

God bless Suzanna Hupp and what she went through. Gun crazed man enters restaurant and shoots people, she realized if she had her gun on her, she could have stopped him. She didn't sue the gun seller or manufacturer. Which is stupid. You don't sue the car dealer or manufacturer when the person driving the car kills someone with it. Why are guns different?

'She...even recommends buying a rifle over a handgun for home self-defense for its greater accuracy." WHAT?!??!! Ok, I'm no gun expert, but a rifle is used to reach out and touch someone from really, REALLY far away. Unless you live in a mansion, distance isn't an option. Shotgun or handgun, no question. That is the type of person writing and trying to shoehorn gun control laws down our throats. Lovely.

Holy cr@p this chapter is REALLY pissing me off. If this wasn't a borrowed book, it would have been flung across the room by now.

Again, who knew, the NRA is a big, bad bully. Wah.

Interesting. Apparently those who are anti-gun have issues being heard...despite the media and politicians expounding continuously on how evil guns are and how no one other than their security teams should have them... I never knew.

'...and looks forward to (hunting and killing) the final two, an elephant and a white rhino.' It's people like that that make me really hate humanity. This chick wants to KILL an elephant, one of the most intelligent animals on the face of the planet and a white rhino to add to the collection of beautiful animals she has DESTROYED for her PLEASURE. Not for food, not for protection, FOR FUN. Disgusting.
