Dennis... I truly admire your proper moral response to this harridan. I can just see her face.
I had a similar encounter once outside an Academy sports store where a group of bunny huggers were holding a protest against "Deer Murder Season". As usual they were putting out a volume way out of proportion to their numbers while waiting for the media to show up. As I was walking out to my car (carrying a brand new set of realtree camo overalls in open view) a female type person(I refuse to call her a lady) who matched your description of "The Witch" down to the letter, got right up in my face and screamed "How can you MURDER innocent animals!!!". Well the only audience was either all bunny huggers like her (whom I have learned will not even consider any position but their own and therefore deserve no attempt at communication) or other hunters so I stopped, looked right into her eyes and in a low even voice said "Well because it always gives me a DEEP sexual thrill." The crowd fell silent and parted so I could walk to me car.
My normal reply to people who use the Surrogate Sexual Member argument comes from a book by L. Neil Smith:
"Which is sicker, those who see guns as extensions of their d!(% or those who want to take everyone's d!(% away?"
I try VERY hard to be polite and calm when "DEBATING" an anti, not because I think it will help change their mind as I can't remember any one who truly had an open mind, but for any audience that probably is made up of mostly Undecideds who are alot more likely to listen to a civilly presented argument. Of course its not alway possible to stay calm.

If they come for my guns and I stand up and fight...What about my kids???
if I don't fight...What about my kids???
