Guns are dangerous... I will tell you all AGAIN... I am selling ALL mine.
Given her situation, it's perfectly understandable that she hates guns. I think she certainly has the right to hate guns. But considering her strong emotional reaction to guns, I think she should recuse herself from any gun related legislation. She is obviously compromised emotionally on the subject and cannot be expected to make rational judgments in the matter. As a professional lawmaker, she should possess the ability to step back when she's too close to a particular topic.
That she campaigned and was elected as a single issue, anti-gun zealot doesn't make me question her situation or her values. It makes me question her integrity as a lawmaker.
I'm sure glad i lost all of mine in that boating accident a few years back, I also threw away my hi capacity ammunition clips after the accident. Tom Brokaw made a really good point about having to buy mini bottles of shampoo before getting on a plane but anyone can buy an automatic weapon and mow down innocents. The more I think about it maybe we do need them to protect us they know alot more than we do. Matt Lauer should be in charge.

Why would that giver her a right to hate guns? Just like we always say, its not the guns fault its the criminals. If my kids are killed by a drunk driver would i be justified in hating cars?
I agree
Anyone has a right to hate anything. Just because her fear is irrational and unreasoned, doesn't make it any less terrifying for her. Some people are more succeptible to fear and loathing, particularly if they've suffered an severe trauma resulting from the use of an object. Which is why I don't judge her individual situation. I simply judge her ethics, based on her position as a lawmaker.
She has no objectivity on the subject. She's too emotionally involved and rational though doesn't enter the picture for her on this subject. As a professional legislator, she should recuse herself from any involvement in gun control issues. Of course, that would assume that she had any integrity as a legislator.
I agree. She should go home and stay there.
