"Emily Gets Her Gun"

September 4, 2013

For those who are not familiar, Emily Miller is a Washington Times senior editor and columnist. A rarity in mainstream media, Emily is pro-gun rights / pro-2nd Amendment and has been very vocal about it. She's written several well written and informative columns since the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy triggered the current war on guns being waged by the gun control crowd. I'm not familiar with her work prior to that.

Her latest on the topic comes in this 3-part series. I found the second one to be most informative but all are worth reading. Take a look for this synopsis of what's been going on in the nationwide gun control campaign.

She has also written and published a book, "Emily Gets Her Gun ...But Obama Wants to Take Yours". I haven't read it but believe it chronicles, among other things, her quest to become a lawful handgun owner as a resident of Washington DC - home to some of the nation's toughest gun control laws.

Here's an interesting review of Emily Miller's new book, "Emily Gets Her Gun ...But Obama Wants to Take Yours". The review is worth reading. It looks like the book is too.

Here's the NRA review of Emily Miller's new book, Emily Gets Her Gun ...But Obama Wants to Take Yours.

I already wanted to read this book. This just reinforces it.

Probably due to the publication of Miller's book, she was recently interviewed by Piers Morgan on his CNN show. The most surprising thing here is that Morgan treats her with any amount of courtesy and respect. If you've seen him rant, berate, bully, etc. with his other guests opposing gun control then you know what I mean. He probably treats her better because she's a journalist and perhaps because she's a woman.

I keep finding myself wishing these 'debates' on Morgan's show would go on longer. There's so much more to be said that could destroy his arguments that never come out or should be reinforced more strongly when they do. Morgan has very recently been caught red-handed with a blatant lie about gun crime statistics but wasn't held accountable in that show, or any others I'm aware of, even though he was compelled to admit his 'error' in the press. He couldn't defend against that guest's argument so he simply lied about Virginia violent crime statistics. Like many outspoken gun control advocates, he also frames a lot of his statements in a very particular way and ignores all the surrounding context that make for a very compelling counter argument. He's not even very good at it but he keeps getting away with it because it's his show.
