This article appeared in a blog on the Seattle Post Intelligencer site. This woman really gets it!

The writer, Erin Solaro, is a self-described feminist. She has presented a detailed essay, which describes the responsibility women have to maintain their positions in society. It goes right to the core of the Second Amendment, and the right (also responsibility) to keep and bear arms. She's a firm believer in self-defense, and well understands the core concept to insure our continued civilization.
These were the concepts our Founding Fathers embraced, and knew that each citizen must understand to establish and keep our republic.
She addresses the usual propaganda espoused by the antigun socialists/collectivists, and takes apart those arguments in detail. She's also used statistical data to support her argument, and she shows that she really understands the concept of individual rights and responsibilities.
She may identify herself as a feminist, but she clearly writes like a libertarian.
I was impressed with her writing, and I sent her the following response:

Erin, this was a well thought out and written piece; and obviously comes from your heart. Bravo!!
As humans, we're required to rely on ourselves for our own safety and security. To do otherwise, makes us indebted and enslaved to another.
The late Colonel Jeff Cooper, who founded the Gunsite Academy in Arizona, and was a prolific believer in self-defense, wrote -"Fight back! Whenever you are offered violence, fight back! The aggressor does not fear the law, so he must be taught to fear you. Whatever the risk, and at whatever the cost, fight back!" (November 1993).
