Wife Has Come Around
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:45 am
My wife is a self proclaimed liberal Democrat. I know, I married her anyway - you can't control the heart with the head.
Anyway, we were discussing the proposed gun bans and the Connecticut shooting last night over dinner. She said: "I can see both sides of the argument, but I've come to the conclusion that a person who is intent on committing acts like that will do so whether guns are banned or not. People need guns to defend themselves against people who would do these things."
She cited the fact that the guns used didn't belong to the shooter - he killed his mother to obtain them. If his mother didn't have them, he may have killed someone down the street to get theirs. He could have used a hammer or a baseball bat. She said he would have found whatever instrument he could find to do this, and anyone who would want to do something like this would do the same.
This is someone who is from Chicago and lived several years in New York City before moving to Texas.
I guess my conservative views are starting to rub off on her! I knew they would - prog emotional views can rarely stand up to logic.
As a side note, she also said it's still strange for her, even after being in Texas for two years, saying (and hearing) "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays".
