I can see where she is coming from but I vehemently disagree with her!
A person should absolutely have the right to self-defense.   I don't even agree with retreat, I think you should be able to stop any felony with deadly force, if there is no other way to stop it.

Have you ever heard of any biological entity that does not have a built-in survival mechanism that it uses freely to protect itself? Humans are no different.

She, or the position she seeks, has no authority in the matter. Her response indicates she is not qualified for the position.

They've postponed the vote for a week probably so we'll forget about it.

She is painful to watch. It is so obvious she said what she thought they wanted to hear. I couldn't watch it for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. Let's just say she wouldn't do very well on Jeopardy. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooow I gotta make sure I say the right thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

Yeah, I heard about the postponement. PPl ask me what can we do about anything. I say now is the time to tell every representative how we feel and that they are suppose to represent us. Faxes are better than email. Free faxes online. It's getting to the point of recalling all these bozos in office, if they can't make common sense votes anymore!
Thanx everyone for your comments.
