Did you read her comment?  " If they'd even dared come close to me, they'd
be 6 feet under by now."

She is saying for those not used to ideas of self-defense, "if they were to
come toward me, I would shoot them rather than let them get to me."

 

If you read her comments, you will see that when they tried to steal her
farm machinery, she didn't find it necessary to "put them six feet under,"
she shot out their tires and held them for the police.

Long tribute to "the american way" snipped


Once again, I ask, is it really necessary to shoot someone and "put them six
feet under" for stealing old farm equipment? Should property really be
defendable with deadly force? Are you actually endorsing that? 

am I getting through?
wondering why nobody responded to my last email,
