That'll solve a lot of the problem. My liberal buddies comprise a much smaller percentage of gun ownership than your conservative buddies. It just furthers the argument (being made very well by so many in the conservative quarter) that conservatives hold women in low regard, including their wives. The numbers don't lie. More women die from both self-inflicted gunshots and are murdered at a higher rate in households that have guns.

Well, jps, you've gotta start somewhere. If your liberal buddies won't give up their guns, then maybe you're fighting a losing battle.

Your anti-women bull**** is just more anti-conservative liberal trash. Besides, Harry said it first. It does make sense, doesn't it, that women shot in a household are probably in one with a gun? Of course, I suppose the shooter could come in from outside the household.

How many of those households to which you refer are in Chicago?
