Ditto. Unintended Consequences of "Common Sense - Guns Laws" Posted: Oct 4th, 2017 - 9:30 am In Reply to: I agree with the White House 100%. - PackinHeat
Women are a driving force for public opinion and policy in our nation. Women are also America’s fastest-growing segment of firearms owners. We train for safety, we teach firearms education classes, and we enjoy hunting and the outdoors. However, some women are also behind a recent organized march from Fairfax, Virginia, to the NRA Headquarters 18 miles away to protest gun ownership — specifically, the gun-rights protection efforts of the National Rifle Association.
In light of this seeming contradictory information about women and gun ownership, I reached out to Nikki Goeser, a survivor of a deadly crime in a designated “gun-free” zone, where she lost her husband at the hands of a man who had been stalking her every movement. We might naturally assume that she’s against gun ownership. After all, who would be more against guns than a woman whose husband was murdered by “gun violence?” Nikki, however, wants to empower responsible gun owners and do away with these so-called “gun-free zones” that she believes contributed to the circumstances that led to her husband’s murder.
Nikki is the author of “Denied a Chance: How Gun Control Helped a Stalker Murder My Husband.” She is also the 2012 recipient of the NRA’s Sybil Ludington Women’s Freedom Award for her dedication in educating the public, media and legislators on the importance of the Second Amendment.
