Well, Claire always did have crap-for-brains.<\/p>\n
FORMER SENATOR SAYS \u2018WOMEN SICK OF ALL THESE GUNS.\u2019 WOMEN SAY OTHERWISE<\/a><\/p>\n Former U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) was replaced by voters in 2018 and is now a political talk show pundit. During a discussion about the violence erupting in America\u2019s communities, including Kenosha, Wisconsin, Portland, Oregon and her home-state St. Louis, Missouri, Sen. McCaskill opined women are \u201csick of all these guns.\u201d Data shows she couldn\u2019t be more mistaken.<\/p>\n Not So Show-Me Senator On gun control, Sen. McCaskill supported a grab-bag of favorites, including reinstating a so-called \u201cAssault Weapons Ban,\u201d limiting so-called \u201clarge capacity magazines,\u201d expanding background checks and even voting against a right-to-carry reciprocity bill.<\/p>\n Violence, Rioting and Surging Firearm Sales These legitimate concerns spurned historic numbers of Americans to buy firearms in 2020. More than 13 million have done so, including more than 5 million first-timers.<\/p>\n Women Gun Owners Growing Fast Data tells a different story. The continuing surge of firearm ownership in America includes women as one of the fastest-growing demographics, continuing a 20-year trend. In 2003, 13 percent of women identified as gun owners. Today that number totals around 25 percent. A quarter of those female gun owners said self-protection was their main reason for purchasing a gun and a whopping 70 percent affirmed owning a gun was essential to their personal freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2020 sales have grown those numbers. Former Sen. McCaskill may be inconvenienced to learn of the nearly 13 million new firearms in the past 8 months, 5 million were purchased by first-time owners and nearly 2 million were women.<\/p>\n Data also shows handguns and Modern Sporting Rifles, including the AR-15 model former Sen. McCaskill mentioned, are among the most popular-selling firearms, for reasons of personal protection. Women aren\u2019t just buying guns and placing them in a safe or storing them away either. Women\u2019s firearm training courses are booked solid, shooting ranges across the country are hosting \u201cladies night\u201d events and women are practicing to ensure they are confident gun users. The \u2018Soccer Mom\u2019 has become the \u2018Security Mom\u2019 as they\u2019ve taken their concerns, jumped off the fence and went right to the gun retail counter.<\/p>\n Former Sen. McCaskill is right. Women are concerned watching current events. But they aren\u2019t \u201csick of all these guns.\u201d Violence, rioting, looting and calls to reduce law enforcement are prompting women to take their safety, and the safety of their families, into their hands. That\u2019s why the Second Amendment exists.<\/p>\n NSSF launched the #GUNVOTE campaign to help educate and activate all gun-owning voters so they don\u2019t risk their rights on November 3rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, Claire always did have crap-for-brains.

\nMissouri is a state with strong Second Amendment approval and Sen. McCaskill tried to hide her antigun beliefs while in office. She was caught talking about her support for more gun control when she thought no voters would hear. Even her staff was recorded describing the senator\u2019s Second Amendment voter deception. When pressed why she wasn\u2019t more vocal for gun control, a staffer bluntly stated, \u201cBut she doesn\u2019t openly go out and support groups like Moms Demand Action or just like other groups that are related to that. Because that could hurt, her ability to get elected.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAs the coronavirus pandemic escalated, Americans became concerned for their safety and the safety of their families and neighborhoods. They watched as local law enforcement were stretched thin and unable to quickly respond to calls for help. Criminals were released from jails, many of whom committed more crimes. Prosecutors announced they wouldn\u2019t prosecute criminals, inviting law-breakers to act. With cities facing violence, looting and rioting, calls to \u201cdefund the police\u201d echoed. Close to Sen. McCaskill\u2019s home, the McCloskey\u2019s of St. Louis made national headlines for exercising their right to protect their home.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking on TV about violent riots and how they may affect November\u2019s presidential election, former Sen. McCaskill stated women had had enough. She said \u201cAnd, you know, the American suburban women, they see that. And they don\u2019t like everybody having an AR-15. That\u2019s part of the problem in America right now.\u201d She continued, \u201cAnd the guns is a huge part of this. And women in America are sick of all of these guns\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
