Between 2001 and 2012, more women were shot to death by an intimate partner in our country than the total number of American troops killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. That is a national shame.

OK, this statistic needs to be out, front and center! Responsible gun owners surely do not want their sisters and daughters shot by abusive dirtbags. It is time for a revolt within the NRA membership. Most of them support laws making it harder for criminals to buy guns and they need to elect leadership that reflects it.
