Kuderer was joined by several other Democrats to introduce the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the\u00a0Washington Civil Rights Association\u00a0has put together a scathing video featuring a video clip of Kuderer making the statement on TVW, the legislature\u2019s pubic television service, accompanied by clips of several women involved in acts of armed self-defense. There is circus-type music in the background, and the overall effect is to portray Kuderer as out-of-touch with reality. While there might be a disclaimer if this video were to appear during a television news broadcast, the images don\u2019t seem to bother any of the grassroots activists who have been viewing it.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PvXhQPk5sfw?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;start=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In a terse response to the senator\u2019s statement, Nicole McGinnis observed, \u201cThis infuriates me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a more detailed critique, another woman\u2014Lisa Duncan\u2014told Liberty Park Press, \u201cI\u2026take offense over her remarks about guns not being a women\u2019s issue whether it was taken out of context or not \u2013 her remarks imply women should opt a feeble demeanor, which in today\u2019s world, classifies as submission to being a victim versus understanding and exercising one\u2019s options in situations where a more lethal means of self-protection may be necessary.
