Like the title says I am very proud of my wife and would like to share it. Yesterday while in her English 101 class they had their monthly current events discussion, and of course someone wanted to talk about gun control. The professor decided to go with it as she is very much in support of it. Anyway she asked all the students to raise their hands if they owned guns, being in Alabama the majority did. She then asked if they owned more than one, a few hands went down. Then she asked who owned more than five, about five hands stayed up. As my wife was the only female who still had her hand up the professor decided she would be the easy target and laid into her.
Professor: “Why would anyone ever need that many guns?”
Wife: “Well I have one for carry, one on my nightstand, one in my home office, one for deer hunting, one for squirrel hunting, and an AR-15” teacher cuts her off.
Professor: “Why on earth would a woman need a fully automatic assault rifle?”
Wife: “First on of all it isn’t fully automatic, second it isn’t an assault rifle as it would have to be select fire to be one” teacher cuts her off again.
Professor: “Well that doesn’t matter, and your just avoiding the question.”
Wife: “No, I’m not, I am trying to educate the ignorant. And if I could finish I would answer your question. It’s because as a woman I never want to be overpowered and raped, especially in my own home.”
Professor: “But why would you ever need thirty rounds to defend yourself?”
Wife: “Because we live out in the middle of nowhere and the burglars are never nice enough to let us know when they will be there and how many there will be.”
Professor: “Well fine. How many guns do you own?”
Wife: “Not enough.”
