The View co-hosts suddenly not so interested in gun control ...when they need to protect their homes

Yesterday on ABC's The View, the panel was discussing a new ad produced by Michael Bloomberg's disastrous “Everytown for Gun Safety” group. The organization purports to be interested in "safety," but really they push for stricter gun control laws and outright bans. Normally, that sort of thing would be right up The View's alley. After all, Barbara Walters' Frankenstein has always been a bastion of deep, intelligent, liberal thought.

....Except three of the four women on the panel refused to tow the left-wing line. One of them was guest co-host Juliet Huddy and given her background at Fox News you might expect this. The other two, however, are usually guaranteed to regurgitate the standard liberal dogma. So what's different here? Well, apparently - and I know this will come as a great shock to all of you - guns are pretty good for protecting one's home, family, and person. As Sherri Shepherd said of the gun control ad:

“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 if they take it away. ‘Get pepper spray.’ You know how close they got to get to you, if you use pepper spray? You got one of these? [meaning a loaded gun] 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!”

Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy both said that they used to think that there should never be guns in a home, but both changed their minds when they became potential victims. Suddenly, it seems, they thought having a firearm around wasn't such a bad idea. ....Go figure.
