Equal rights for women is not.
Another thing to bring up in elections. I am all ears to hear the current reasons why we don't have the ERA. Phyllis Schalfly is dead (someone threw water on her?).

And treated however the owner wants it treated.

That's about the only right that a gun has.

Does the woman really mean what the sign says?

(Even gun owners' additional right is just "to own a gun." Regardless of the owner's demographics. The sign-holder, of course, if she's over 18 has that right.)

I knew a guy in grad school who was able to make sentences that we'd all nod in agreement with until we realized they were meaningless. "That was a great win by the Raiders last night, as they triumphantly scored many fewer points than their adversary." Except that's not one of his and I suck at it.

maybe it's time for those lazy guns to contribute to society and pay taxes or be locked up, just like a human.
