#1 ...but you gotta love this on her bio:

Name Kirstie Alley

Looks like the "human rights activist" fades to reality when her own family is involved, eh?

#2 That's when you decide whether the rights of your innocent daughter outweigh the rights of a purvurt or not.

There is a right not to be raped, and there is a right to bear arms. Sometimes the two come together.

#4 Some of the best human rights activists are heavily armed. (My father's division did more for human rights in April of 1945 than my law school's "Human Rights Institute" ever will.)

I cheerfully welcome Kirstie to the ranks of those who understand this.

#6 What would you have her do instead, Uncle Phester? Stand by, taking no action until the cops arrive with a public defender for the assailant?

There'd be fewer gross violations of human rights by governments and criminal groups if more ordinary people worldwide were armed.

No, CS, I would expect her to do as would most of us, dispense ventilation with extreme prejudice, this in spite of her position vis-a-vis "human rights." Just pointing out the, probably tensionless, cognitive dissonance....
