But I've never seen her pose with a gun. Look at it from my perspective- all the big debacles with the government and firearms- WHO is holding the weapons? And who is holding the weapons pointed at the federal government? I mean really- it is just OBSERVATION. Some one told me to look in the paper- well guess who the gun toters are? We've been down this road before- but only with criminals and violence. I am betting with "socially acceptable" violence the stats are even more skewed for men to be right there. Hahahaha.

Hmm. The issue isn't really sensitivity, it's accuracy. You said "women don't fight fair." I think that's inaccurate, which is why I was angry at you, especially because you claim to be a feminist. X said, "Guns don't kill people, MEN kill people (with a few exceptions). Is that accurate? Don't you remember the last time we debated the relative propensities of the sexes for committing murder, it turned out that women were less likely than you thought, but more likely than she thought? I think her statement is accurate, but hyperbolic and inflammatory. But I'd love to have a bumper sticker that says it.
