Women buying and using guns to protect themselves and their families

Good day all. For the last 4+ years, there have been 1 million+ NICS background checks done each month. These are the checks done when you buy a gun. It used to be that most of these purchases were gun owners adding to their collections. Now we’re seeing first time buyers deciding that they need to exercise their rights guaranteed under the 2nd Amendment.

One of the largest groups of first time buyers are women. They are seeing how the country is falling apart and have come to understand that when seconds count, the police are minutes away, if they show up at all. Now we’re starting to see women using firearms to defend themselves and their families more and more. Here are the details from Fox News:

At least 14 women across the country used a firearm to fend off assailants between the waning days of July and Aug. 22, local news reports show.

An off-duty female corrections officer traded gunfire with a would-be carjacker who “a bear hug” from behind, and then threw her on the ground. He was after her 2018 black BMW just after 10:30 p.m. in North Philadelphia. She was one of at least 13 other women who thwarted attackers over a roughly three-week period this summer. 

Good for her. Of course, as a corrections officer, she should have received some training in hand to hand combat. However, if the criminal managed to pin her arms and lift her off the ground, there isn’t a lot she or anyone else can do. Of course, once the criminal threw her down, the woman proceeded to take action.

“Can we take a minute to appreciate how many women have protected themselves and others with firearms in the last two or so weeks? It’s basically a highlight [reel] of just how important the right to keep and bear arms is for us, too,” Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Amy Swearer posted on X, previously known as Twitter, detailing the cases.

I find it sad that they, or anyone else has to defend themselves. It didn’t use to be this way.

Local news reports from Arizona to Pennsylvania show that between July 29 and Aug. 22 there were at least 14 instances of women fending off assailants, most notably their own exes.

Broken relationships are the worst of course on both sides. There are men who can’t accept that they have been rejected and start going after their ex’s. (Happens on the distaff side as well) Usually, the relationship turned or always was abusive and the woman finally has enough and leaves. It’s worse when children are involved.

A woman in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, for example, shot and wounded the father of her child on Aug. 11 after he assaulted her. The man was shot in the shoulder and had an outstanding warrant for violating a protection-from-abuse order to stay away from the woman. He admitted to authorities that he had assaulted his child’s mother before she shot him, the Pottstown Mercury reported.

This scumbag is lucky. Hopefully, he will use his time in the prison hospital and later his cell to reflect on how you don’t use women as a punching bag.

On Aug. 11 in Jackson, Mississippi, another woman grabbed her legal firearm when she spotted a group of masked suspects outside her home as they tried to carjack her husband and son. She reportedly fired off shots and sent two of the suspects running for their lives. A 17-year-old suspect was shot during the incident and died, according to reports.

And now we have a good criminal. You do not want to threaten a woman’s family, especially her children. They won’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to protect them, and women can be a lot more ruthless then men in such circumstances.

The 13 cases over a roughly two-week period are just a snapshot of how many women likely used a firearm to defend themselves. Self-defense gun cases often go unreported by major news outlets. Many cases involve people brandishing their firearm to deter a potential criminal, which can go unreported to police, experts previously told Fox News Digital. 

This is something the gun grabbers can’t get their pointed heads around. You don’t need to actually discharge a firearm to stop an attack. In many cases, just seeing a female target will send a criminal running, screaming for his mommy. Now if you have to display a firearm in a defensive manner, it’s always a good idea to call the police and file a report. It helps the police in dealing with crime and it also protects you as well. A criminal might call the police and accuse you of threatening them saying “I wasn’t doing nothing and that bi**h pulled a gun on me!”

Of the 13 cases compiled by Swearer, more than half involved a woman who was defending herself from her romantic partner or ex.

“A man who’d served 8 years in prison for domestic violence threatened to kill his wife during an ‘alcohol-fueled rage’ and went to get a gun. She apparently got to her gun first. He’s dead. She isn’t,” Swearer wrote of a case in Missouri that occurred on Aug. 10.

Now I have a question. This piece of human debris served 8 years and had a gun? Where did he get it? As a convicted felon, he has lost his right to own a gun. (We can discuss the constitutionality of that another day) I also have to question the woman about why she was married to an abuser. It’s possible that as long as he wasn’t drinking, he was a perfect gentleman. Once he hit the bottle, Mr. Hyde arrived.

Gun sales had a banner year in 2020 with an estimated 23 million firearms sold and more than 21 million background checks conducted. The numbers smashed records and notably spiked at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 before jumping yet again in June of that year as protests and riots spread across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

George Floyd died of a Fentanyl overdose. Leaving that aside, the riots and the fact that police were told not to do their jobs showed millions of people, many of them women, that they can only rely on themselves.

By gender, gun ownership is also booming among women. Between 2019 and 2021, as gun purchases exploded, about half of firearm customers were women, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Women were the most likely new gun-owner demographic during those years, researchers found.

Women are beginning to realize what men have known for a very long time. To paraphrase the saying, “God, (Or nature, whatever you prefer), made people tall, short, fast, slow strong, weak, male or female. Colt made them ALL equal. Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats hate this. The last thing they want is women to think that they can take care of themselves when it comes to crime.

What’s more, these very same women are taking firearm safety classes as well as self defense classes. They are not going to rely on the police to protect them. They have seen what happened in Broward County and Uvalde, as well as Nashville to a lesser extent. (The Nashville police did everything right and deserve a well done. It still took them 10 minutes to get on site and get into the building to stop the lunatic tranny) They will not rely on “Big Daddy Government.” they will rely on themselves. They also vote and they will not allow the Democrats to make them defenseless again.
