All her comments considered, it hit me how sad it is that we must waste time discussing the firearms issue. She has so much more to offer; a grace and presence that is becoming increasingly rare in this world. While it is valuable know Dr. Angelou's opinion on the matter of guns, this is only so because our Rights have recently come under attack.
Her comments remind me how much the firearms rights issue should be an open and shut case. It is the mark of the free-thinking individual to be able to exercise the freedom to defend their life whenever it is threatened. Of course they should not need the permission of government in order to do so. It is so unnatural to consider any alternative that isn't consistent with a living being's natural instinct of self-preservation. And of course we should practice with the gun we carry regularly. It is common sense.
Dr. Angelou is proof that a citizen who wishes to exercise this right is not a killer, but rather a protector of life. Never allow yourself to be painted as the former; take pride in standing up for yourself as the latter!
