If you are a woman (or a man) who has ever felt threatened or been attacked, or needed a restraining order against a violent ex, then you know what fear and powerlessness mean.

Guns Also Save Lives

You can't stop the criminals from getting guns. You know that. So why are you going to deprive yourself of a way to protect yourself? Firearms are used in self-defense 1 to 1.5 million times per year. How many rapes does that prevent? How many lives were SAVED because of guns?

Propaganda from Handgun Control, Inc.	The Facts
13 children die per day from gun violence	This number actually includes people "ages 19 and under." The vast majority (all but 2.66 per day) were 16 years or older, including 18- and 19-year-old adults. The death of any child is tragic, but the number is far lower than claimed by HCI.
kids' accidental deaths from guns are out of control	There are more kids who have unfortunate accidents with five-gallon buckets every year than with guns. Is there going to be a movement to ban five-gallon buckets? We didn't think so. How about matches and cigarette lighters, other household items statistically more dangerous for kids than guns?
it's more dangerous for a woman to fight back when being raped	The probability of serious injury from an attack is 2.5 times greater for women offering no resistance than for women resisting with a gun.

Think for yourself. You know that a gun is how you can defend yourself and your family best. Don't buy young kids toy guns or violent games—instead, teach them respect for guns, and gun safety.
