Don't you think you're being a little hard on Private Candi? Bush 1 said we are to be a "kinder, gentler nation.

You're right

You're right - what she said was -
"Rep. Carolyn McCarthy — a strong proponent for women serving in military combat roles — appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight Thursday to make the case for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban. To that end, McCarthy argued that women should use traditional rifles rather than assault rifles because the former would would be “easier for a woman” to use.........................."
So to paraphrase what she did say was ".. women should be able to serve in combat but would have trouble handling an assault rifle because they are women."
That reads like a sexist comment.

YGBSM. The M-16 is about the kindest, gentlest, and easiest to functionally use rifle ever made. Maybe the good Congresswoman should use a traditional Remington Model 700 or Winchester Model 94 Carbine and then an M-16, and then tell us what we should make of her opinion.
If women can't use an M-16 or its derivatives, we gonna give 'em Red Ryder BB guns...which could still be a problem with that nasty ol' cocking mechanism and all. 
And so it goes...

Let's keep things simple a just give the women the lighter (than the 91/30) Mosin Nagants like the M44 or M38. That should be much easier for them to handle than a scary M-16 or having to cock that Red Ryder.....

I can't even begin to wrap my head around McCarthy's statement... This is the problem with these people - nothing they say makes sense. There is no fact. There is no logic. Just doubletalk, emotion, and BS. They think their way is the only way, and they'll keep beating that drum until they get what they want.

Stupid people are too stupid to know they're stupid and so stupid they think stupid ideas are smart and that everyone else thinks like them (stupid). That's why you can't argue with a liberal.

I still haven't gotten over Rep Hank Johnson's fear that Guam would capsize from rhe military buildup. And that was in 2010.
