It seems that last night’s #GunsInAmerica town hall meeting was quite the deal. Honestly, I didn’t watch it. If I had, my family would’ve run for the hills and we would be shopping for a new TV! For the sanity of my family…and myself, I waited til it was done and started going through the news reports and videos of the grand event.

Quite frankly the pundits, reporters, and bloggers will have copy for years on everything Obama said, factual or otherwise. But for this Friday morning as you work on your first or second cup of coffee, lets focus on a great question asked by Taya Kyle.

Taya Kyle is an incredibly strong lady whom American Sniper Chris Kyle was so lucky and blessed to call his wife. She and their children are victims of gun violence that killed her husband and yet that has NOT sent her running and hiding under her bed waiting for the gun violence Chicken Little to crash down on her head again. As she says in her CNN Op-Ed last night:

I have been afraid of guns, I have sworn I would never use a gun on another person and so did not need one, and I have wanted to deny the existence of evil.

I have also become a gun owner, am prepared to defend myself with a firearm, and understand the fear of my freedoms being taken away.
