  1. Amen woman! Preach it!

  2. They can make all the laws they want, lets see them try and enforce them.

  3. WE protect US. This is the problem with Democrats trying to take our guns away slowly over time. Criminals KEEP ARMING themselves – what are we supposed to do, roll over and take it? NOPE. Bear arms, everyone – exercise your constitutional right to protect yourselves and your families. Violence is rampant and only increasing from here. Secure the schools, secure the buildings, FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES and RED FLAG laws. Make felons more accountable, and tougher for them to parole out if they committed "red flag" crimes making them high risk. And if felons get out of jail and commit another crime, 30 years to life with no chance of parole. Come down hard on these repeat idiot offenders!!!

  4. Democrats “defund the police “ , let “burglars steal over $900” on items from stores without arrest … release criminals in Chicago and New York without bond , send armed protesters to Supreme Court justices homes and threaten them ….

    Dems are a joke… cops can’t even get to EMERGENCY calls because of HIGH gas prices … what happens when we need help and we don’t have guns ?

  5. She's 101% right.

  6. This was very touching . She’s a 💯 percent correct.

  7. Iv been saying this for years!!!!! Criminals WOULD NOT be criminals if ALLLLLL people defended themselves! A person would not attack another if they knew they were going to die! And people don’t defend themselves becuase the laws will GET YOU! If you defend yourself! YOU PROTECT YOU! not the laws not the cops!

  8. Amen sister evil is evil no laws can stop evil take that liberals

  9. Police are the problem not guns!

  10. Completely destroying the narrative

  11. That was really great till I saw George Sniffalottapuss' stupid face.

  12. Leftist politicians hate private ownership of firearms and believe they should be the only ones with guns so they can commit violence on citizens without reprisal. This is how Lenin, Stalin, Mao worked and they want to be just like them. This woman is tired of violent criminals being put back on the street. At least San Francisco of all places have figured it out.

  13. It's a shame that such common sense, obvious facts actually need to be stated.

  14. Here is how you fix the problem: NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT AGAIN!!!!

  15. Ha wow didn't see this coming out on abc News <_< strange days we live in

  16. AWSOME, calling out dumb ass politicians !!!!! These people need to be in jail !!!!!!!

  17. So don't blame decisions like going to parties…blame guns. Because usually people don't pull the trigger. No. The gun floats around searching for prey like some kind of metallic air shark.
