STILL says my comment is awaiting moderation.
Yes, and I see that my comment has never made it, despite a more recent (weak) comment being included.
Her agenda extends to censorship of viewpoints and information that disturb her worldview.
Here's my still unpublished comment:
The author says that “I have four rules” regarding her firearm/purchase/carry, one of which is that she “be prepared to use it for protecting myself at home or in public.”
I submit to the author and to the public reading this that since she “freaked” upon seeing that a magazine was in the gun, SHE VIOLATED ONE OF HER OWN RULES. One can hardly be prepared to defend oneself without first knowing a) how to *safely* determine if it’s loaded or not, b) load it – SAFELY, and c) *safely* clear a malfunction if it occurs. Of course, there are a few more necessities in order to meet the final rule of the author, but bottom line…
How do you defend oneself with an object you’re committed to be ignorant about?
Put another way – you can’t get so easily to the part of life about defending yourself if you’re unable to deal with nothing more than finding a magazine inside your newly purchased gun, or if you or someone else has been injured by your determined ignorance.
Maybe the author or one of her sycophants can explain the flaw in my reasoning.
