Ijust posted the following in the comments section of the linked blog-post. It is "awaiting moderation" at this time, and my bet is that it will be awaiting that moderation for what's left of time on Earth. Thanks to Navy for the link and quote.
Many of y’all are correct that the author is trying to make a “point.” The point being, she is a pabulum-puking, bleeding-heart leftist who described having an adrenaline dump just from looking at a weapon. Nowhere in the above installment does she even say she ever figured out how to load her weapon, so chances are, she’s walking around with a holstered “weapon” no more dangerous than having a rock in that holster that she can throw at an attacker. She will never know the feeling of being the “good guy with a gun” because she doesn’t believe there’s any such thing!
The Brady Bunch has done everything it can to disarm Americans, and has contributed nothing to making the sport of shooting, or the use of weapons for self defense, safer. ONLY pro-gun, pro-2nd-Amendment, and pro-CONSTITUTION organizations participate in such programs.
The “point” that would be made if this “experiment” were to garner the results the author hopes it does, would be only that the Framers of the Constitution got it wrong. She hopes her “experiment,” that has a clear and unambiguous PRECONCEIVED conclusion, so it’s not really an experiment at all, will convince enough anti-gun, constitutionally-ignorant (or Constitution-adverse) Americans to vote in anti-gun legislators so the Brady Bunch can realize their wet dream of repealing the Bill of Rights.
For a small sample of real research on the dangers of guns in all facets of society, go here:
GUNS - The Untold Truth
From that link:
“Don’t think that just because the police are trained in the use of firearms that they are less likely to kill an innocent person. A University of Chicago Study revealed that in 1993 approximately 700,000 police killed 330 innocent individuals, while approximately 250,000,000 private citizens only killed 30 innocent people. Do the math. That’s a per capita rate for the police, of almost 4000 times higher than the population in general. OK, that is a little misleading. Let’s just include the 80,000,000 gun owning citizens. Now the police are down to only a 1200 times higher accidental shooting rate than the gun-owning population in general.
That still sounds high. So let’s look at it in a different light. According to a study by Newsweek magazine, only 2% of civilian shootings involve an innocent person being shot (not killed). The error rate for police is 11%. What this means is that you are more than 5 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. But, when you consider that citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as do police every year, it means that, per capita, you are more than 11 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. That is as low as I can get that number.”
This so-called “experiment” is not real research at all. It’s phony from beginning to end. It’s agenda-driven tripe that is a prime example of the kind of mentality that our Founders separated themselves from in a war that created a society that has provided more freedom, more prosperity, and more justice than any other civilization in the history of man. The idiocy in the author’s phony experiment is intended only to do her part to defeat that, and go back to a more British-like unarmed society.
