Political opponents of the pro gun rights VP candidate Sarah Palin have begun a smear campaign against her, suggesting that she is not the mother of her recently born child. Such a smear campaign is unproductive, doesn’t address the important political issues, and is the lowest of the low.:

I discuss this in greater depth here.

Like the millions of law abiding gun owners in America, I am a peace loving person. I own firearms so that I can defend myself and my family, should that need arise. While I sincerely hope that I am never in the position of having to fire a gun in self defense, I rest easier at night knowing that I could stop an armed robber, racist attacker, terrorist, or home invader if the need arose. I also rest easier knowing that my girlfriend could stop a rapist or murderer, rather than becoming a victim. The simple fact is that gun control laws don't stop criminals from getting guns, and instead only disarm the law abiding citizens, making them easier targets for the criminals. Nor is it justifiable to deprive law abiding citizens of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools.

Given those facts, I would encourage my fellow law abiding citizens who do not yet own a gun to do the following: go shooting for the first time, choose the proper gun for self defense, purchase that gun, store the gun in a responsible manner, and become proficient at safely using that gun. Next, join the NRA to protect your right to have a gun for self defense. Doing so may save your life one day, and can also benefit society as a whole.

I can’t believe how many people are ready to just axe this woman before she even gets going… is she really that scary to everyone? Finally had to write my own blog post about her just to counter act the smear campaign everyone seems interested in participating against her.

She deserves the same chance everyone gets and shouldn’t be smeared with statements that are not facts (IMO).
