fighting the nra day after day after day. i can t understand. i grew up in colorado where everybody had rifles, everybody was hunting, black, white, everybody was hunters, and we never saw people s guns. no one would ever think about walking around the streets with a giant, enormous gun and go to the supermarket. it just is unheard of and i grew up in a gun state. can you wrap your mind around this idea that some states allow people to walk around, as long as they re not black because then they ll get killed, to walk around with giant war weapons on them openly? how can people live like that? well, i live in colorado and we see that a lot now because there are so many gun extremists that have been pulled to the right by the gun lobby in this country. but i want to get back to what your guest said, this idea that nothing has happened since sandy hook. nothing could be further from the truth. we are winning in state houses and boardrooms. i know we re waiting for a

meeting, but there might be some dudes who show up with assault rifles and stare you down. you know, i think that this has been seen in america over and over when there is an issue that hits close to a nerve. and we re seeing it now. in my opinion, that means we re winning. we are going to win this war against gun extremists who have set the policies in this country. and if that s the price we pay, so be it. we are no longer going to be silenced. as a mother, i have a right to use my voice and my vote to show what direction this country should go in. and i won t be silenced by gun bullies. bullies, which is the key theme here. are feminists winning? is that part of what the this world, this dark world that this shooter had some relation to and involvement with and was reading, that part of the just looking for a silver lining in the horrible, horrible news. i think in a way, yes. i think feminists are winning sort of the national cultural
