'Nothing To Debate': Legal Gun In My Purse Saved Our Lives

The United States of America is a great country. You can debate absolutely anything, whether or not it has merit, and whether or not it's any of your business.

But guns? There's nothing to debate. Throw out all the numbers and expert opinions. I've got your expert right here, and it's called EXPERIENCE.

Here's the truth:

1. Criminals will always have guns, this is not about them.

2. Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms. Humans have a right to defend themselves. If we didn't have the Second Amendment, we would create it.

3. You can't control everything; but if it makes you feel better, go with a simple law preventing violent offenders from buying firearms. Make it "violent" offenders rather than "white collar" offenders, or most of Capitol Hill won't be allowed to own them.

4. Get a gun, get legal, be responsible, trust yourself. Don't trust yourself? Then don't carry. But for God's sake then, shut the f**k up about it, because that's where your involvement ends.

Chuck and I were married one year ago, on the Fourth of July. Sure, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary in a hospital. But thanks to the Second Amendment, my crack-shot husband and the pistol he used, we were able to have a first anniversary.

Criminals will always have guns because of the ignorance like we saw in Baltimore. When the cops try to get the guns and criminals off the streets the idiots cry racism and harassment. The results are the high murder rate Baltimore is experiencing. Every single bullet that goes into a body is deserved by the pathetically ignorant residents of that city.

Always carry a gun. Never think you need ANYONE'S "permission". Somehow, the Gestapo and our "scared of loud noises" ninnie "leaders" have convinced "we, the people" that we need their APPROVAL to speak, assemble, write, protest, and defend ourselves. LOL!
They have forgotten their place.
If you don't like guns, don't get one.
Otherwise, follow her down-to-earth instructions.

Lynne Russell was always the No-BS type. That's the reason most of the other on-air personalities at CNN didn't like her.
