I think they meant her classified information <| sep |> Grats on Diamond ! <| sep |> Give it time . He ' s not inaugurated until January . <| sep |> McDonnell called in sick . <| sep |> I understand the sentiment , but I think mace and martial arts are more essential than a gun . You want to neutralize the attacker . With a gun , you can ' t escalate any higher than the possibility of shooting somebody . And a gun is not good for every situation . For example , uParticularYouth recently posted a 09 of a technique being used to stop somebody who grabs you from behind , by the hijab . Pulling a gun out on somebody who already has their hands on you makes things more dangerous , because you may shoot somebody else or shoot yourself , in the backandforth , and you may shoot them fatally . You just want to stop them . With martial arts , you could do what was shown in the video , but what I wish they would have shown is how to end it . One thing you could do from that exact position is easily take them to the ground by pivoting left with their arm tucked under the hooking arm , just beneath the elbow , which would be easy , because you have them off balance and you are controlling the arm , so a little pull and gravity takes them down . Then you have a position where they are on the ground , you still have an arm to punch them in the face with , and most importantly , the arm that you hooked is now in a position where you can bend it , which hurts like hell , or even break it . With martial arts , you don ' t need to be stronger than anyone . You don ' t need to be bigger than anyone . You don ' t need to be faster than anyone . You will have the ability to defend yourself in many ways . It ' s confidence . Also , mace should not be overlooked . That will stop somebody from rushing you , it can stop multiple people and it can even stop somebody with a knife . I am not saying not to buy a gun , but that buying a gun is not the complete solution to defending yourself .
