If you’ve never heard of Gabrielle Blair, allow us to fill you in. She’s a mother of six and the founder of Design Mom, a parenting blog.
She’s also a hardcore gun control proponent. And from the looks of things, she can give Shannon Watts a serious run for her money in the incoherent anti-gun argument department.

And man oh man, is this a TAKE:
There are far better ways to protect your family than a gun. Get a life insurance policy. https://t.co/sKtXngJft0

I know you truly believe that you'll need to defend your family at gunpoint. You need to let that go. Statistically it's just not going to happen. I know it's boring, but if you want to protect your family, things like seatbelts, fire alarms, and life insurance are your best bet.

The reality is, you're probably going to die of heart disease or diabetes, or just old age and natural causes. I know it's not as cool-sounding as an armed-standoff, but it's still true.

Insurance isn't protection, it is compensation.

Imagine crafting that argument in your head … and then deciding to make it public. Imagine thinking that people would read it and believe that you’re an intelligent, thoughtful person.

How is a life insurance policy going to stop a person breaking into my house? https://t.co/GeePLHbJFb

Yes, life insurance will definitely stop a rape. https://t.co/QznxEHbSWH

Also be sure to get rid of your fire extinguishers, safety glasses, anti-lock brakes, airbags, smoke detectors, radon detectors, carbon monoxide, night lights, dead bolts, flashlights, steel toed boots, first aid kits.
A good life insurance policy is all you need, folks.

I'm glad I am not this privileged say and believe such dangerous advice. Sadly not white either. can't live in a gated, mostly white suburb with 24/7 surveillance that's insured with my house

So i will protect my family by being dead? That's a strange way to look at it.

I have an insurance policy too. My family likes me more than the money, though. I know it is inconvenient for you, but I prefer that me and my family are protected and alive, than cashing insurance checks.

With my dying breath I looked up into my son’s tearful eyes and told him, “It will all be ok. Just don’t spend it all in one place.” https://t.co/cPtnlNBnX9

I have *both* life insurance *and* guns. Because this is America and I do what I want. https://t.co/uRtOW8w0Xd
