I'm not anti-gun; I'm anti-no gun control. My dad was a cop for 30 years and taught me to respect guns before I could talk and taught me to shoot when I was 8. He bought me a 9mm semi-automatic for my 40th birthday because he heard there was a rapist in my area and he knew my husband worked nights. He made sure I knew that thing inside out and I still know that thing inside and out. I also go to a gun range periodically to make sure I don't get rusty. I hope I never have to fire that thing outside of a gun range, but if any of those traitors try to break down my door, I'll be ready.

He wasn't a hunter, though. He was an avid hunter as a teen, but never shot a rifle again at a living creature. He said he saw and did enough killing in the Pacific during WWII and never wanted to do it again. I can't imagine.

Thank you, Dad, for always keeping this little girl safe, even when I was all grown up. I miss you every day.

That it's satire, right?

That being said, my family has guns! All kinds of guns. Old guns, new guns, collectible guns, military grade guns, skeet shooting guns and whatever my staunchly Democratic daddy wanted to buy.

If the magats think differently about us, they are mortally ignorant.
