Everytown’s latest commercial illustrates the exact opposite of what they are trying to portray. Its great to see the common sense reaction of these women on The View. After watching a scenario where an angry ex (under restraining order) is breaking into a home to kidnap [presumably his] child. He is armed and points the gun at the mother. She is on the phone with police. Completely unprepared, completely vulnerable.

SHEPHERD: Can I tell you, can I tell you the flipside of that. And that is absolutely so disturbing, but the flipside is when I was at my home and the alarm went off, and I ran to my son’s bedroom and Jeffrey was crying, and I realized all I had to protect me and somebody coming around that corner was a daggone wicker trash basket. And I said to myself and everybody said to me, “well get a bat.” You got one chance to use a bat and if they take it away. “Get pepper stray.” You know how close they got to get to you, if you use pepper spray? You got one of these? [gestures like she’s holding a gun and racks the shotgun slide] They’re not gonna come near you and your child! So when you’re standing there, and you don’t know how to protect your child ? Get a gun in your home!
