I’VE said it before and I’ll say it again, if the gun lobby were REALLY concerned about self-defense, I’d have a phaser.
But, Iike the auto industry and the fossil fuel industry, they simply refuse to devote their R & D resources to the next level of product simply because that product would upset their myths and fantasies.
We simply wouldn’t want a woman to be able to legally defend herself from her abuser, would we?
