Agreed - and great topic. To the SAS's credit they post links to articles stating both sides of the issue and while many may be more familiar with the "moms" movement - I am glad to see this other side getting some national press...

Too dangerous indeed to stand by like a bunch of sheep and let the radicals stage a show implying that all moms stand for the same thing - a right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness can be interpreted many different ways - but God forbid some shallow short sighted extremists start setting the stage to attempt a sway of public opinion away from the most basic rights this country was founded upon...

It's late and I'm not able to articulate as well as I would like - but check out the site - it's well worth the read - and any publicity that may be generated via this forum.

Thanks for posting the link Kevin-san.

Peace,

Very SASsy site, indeed. Looks like some moms want to kick ass on mother's day, starting with with SASsy Sally taking AIMM with her 12 ga.

That "want to see me naked" picture will never make it into Playboy"

Men and women need to combine efforts to protect second ammendment rights -- united we stand...

FYI, I culled today's daily mail concerning the Mother's Day march, and a pro-article for gun defense.


=====> This woman will not be at the Million Mom March
Author: Linda Prussen-Razzano
Country: United States
Crime survivor Linda Prussen-Razzano says, "my gun affords me the
ability to never be that defenseless again. Instead of begging
for my life and offering silent, urgent prayers for God's
protection, I have more than a fighting chance of survival." She
won't march against guns this May. (3/31/00)

=====> Woman defends herself with gun against intruders
City: Charleston, State: SC, Country: United States
"A Line Street woman opened fire Tuesday night on some men she
discovered had broken into her home, injuring one man and
possibly another, Charleston police said." (3/29/00)

Gun control is a very serious issue. People do not realize just how serious it is.

I've been doing more historical and martial philosophy reading than martial arts lately, and let me tell you, guns keep coming up on the pages.

As I've been researching my heritage (it's amazing how one little query into local history spawned a whole heep of national and international history I never knew about, and also gave me some martial arts clues and ideas) I found that had my native ancestors and african ancestors had guns, or better guns, they would have faired better. Now fast forward 100 or some odd years into the present, where ALL of us are now the indigenous people who need to protect ourselves not from an expanding nation, but a nation that has frustrated and crazy people in it who are bent on greed and mayhem.

We think of ourselves as being "civilized" but really, are we? It was not long ago historically speaking that we were shooting bows and arrows, spears, swords, rocks, sticks, and bullets at each other over land disputes or over an insult to one's tribe, clan, village, kingdom, family, and so on. Where have all those emotions gone? We are the same human animals who chopped off each others heads and hung them on castle walls to ward off enemies.

Of course I'm stating the obvious.

Nowadays we have women bringing up their children with no man around for protection. And, even if he is there, he is still ONE man who may have to fight off three or four. I just read a frontier story the other day were a gang of thugs broke into a couple's house, held the husband at gun point, and raped the wife, after they made her cook for them. We think that can't happen nowadays, but it could. Sure it is rare, but strange things are happening all the time. Also, you really do have to define what rare is. For me, one person in one hundred, or two hundred, is far too many people.

I have no problem with a woman arming herself. She can shoot the intruders then call the police. As it's been said before, I wonder how many conflicts have been PREVENTED because there was a gun around. We will get no stats on that, will we.
