Stacey Dash has not always lived a glamorous Hollywood life.There were times that she barely made a go of it.  She also had a penchant for attracting abusive men that beat on her.  The first one lasted five years.  She was his punching bag.  Stacey has recently opened up about her life and explained why she is such a huge believer in the Second Amendment, which she credits for saving her son’s life as well as her own.

“My gun and my Second Amendment right saved my life and the life of my son. I’ve had first-hand experience that I know carrying a gun can save your life.”

Stacey describes herself as a lifetime member of the NRA and relates how owning a gun saved her life and that of her then three year old son:

I got into an abusive relationship, a man that would beat me up every day for five years. I got away from that man and then got into another relationship with another man that was also not a good man. He was a bad man — cut too. My son is three-years-old. We’re being stalked by this man; we’re having to move — I can’t tell you how many times because this man would find us every place we went. Finally, I bought a gun, and thank God, because he found us. He kicked the door in off the hinges. He beat me up. My son was asleep upstairs. I ran upstairs, I got my gun, I loaded it and I came down the stairs shooting and he was coming up the stairs. I missed him, but he went away and he never came back.

That excerpt comes from her first book, “There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless To Conservative, that was released earlier the month.  She has discovered that being a conservative has been a double edged sword.  On one hand she is lauded by her fellow conservatives for her bravery and her willingness to speak up about her conservative values, but on the other hand, her conservative beliefs have hindered her in her chosen profession as the Hollywood liberal elite unofficially blackball conservative actors and actresses.

Dash is an unapologetic supporter of Donald Trump.  She also says that if more Americans carried guns, incidents like the Pulse shootings would have had less victims, because a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun:

This tragic, horrific incident is proof of that. Had there been men in there, or women in there, who were allowed to carry a weapon, that were good guys, maybe so many people might not have died. There would’ve been a fair fight. But, unfortunately, of course, people who want to kill people, they don’t play by the laws. They don’t go by the gun laws. They don’t play by the rules. They’re going to carry guns anyway. So then, why don’t you give the good guys guns so that we can protect ourselves?
