268. I am unable to locate the specific citation to which you refer.
I have examined the statistics that you have referenced, but even if they are assumed valid, none of them expressly state what you have claimed, which is that a woman who owns a firearm is more likely to "have her brains blown out" by a male significant other than she is to use the firearm in self-defense. Was your statement an extrapolation from a claim stated in a less specific fashion? If so, could you please reference the cited statistic from which you extrapolated your claim?

Also, you did not address the news story that I referenced. Why did you not address this?

Also, I notice that your blanket allegation regarding the mindset of firearms owners -- that it is "the weenie weakling male" who would desire a firearm -- has no justification in support of it. Can you please justify that allegation?
