Quoted:
I don't agree with many aspects of her personal life but I do admire her patriotism. By the way, she is not stupid by any means. If you get a chance to read the articles of the speeches she gave concerning the recording industry and .mp3s, you would find her to be extremely articulate and intelligent.

All the more reason to detest her. She should know better. In league with the likes of Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone publisher, and with the money from her husband's estate, she helped set up an ANTI-GUN lobbying organisation, CeaseFire, Inc..

Amazing how she is so pro-1st Amendment, but wants to apply White-Out to the 2nd...
This site on which you are reading this is called AR-15.com, named for the AR-15. Guess what one of the many guns she and her org. want to ban?......
Instead of facing up to her and her husband's marital and psychological problems, which led to his suicide, she instead, like all anti-gun cause heads, focussed instead on the means, not the cause of his death.
'Courtney Love was frequently overcome with emotion when discussing how she lost husband Kurt Cobain to gun-related suicide in 1994. "I miss my friend," a shaken Love told a hushed audience. "My daughter misses her father," the singer and actress said about her 7-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, and described the experiences Frances would never have with Kurt -- such as sharing an ice cream. Love detailed how "an acquaintance of my husband with a long criminal record and a record of mental illness" bought a shotgun in a pawnshop and gave it to Cobain, who suffered from depression. "On April 8, he was dead." Later, Love said why she decided to speak out: "America has to change its barbaric gun laws," she said. "I own a car and I have to register it, but if I own a gun, I don't have to register it -- that doesn't make sense." '

Courtney Love Speaks Out Against Gun Ownership http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2000/05/1702.cfm
'Hole bitch queen Courtney Love spoke out about her husband, Kurt Cobain at the Million-Mom March last Sunday, May 14. The march attracted 750,000 protesters who all want tighter gun control.
Love slammed those who thought guns were a means for protection, she said that her husband's death was a "permanent solution to a temporary problem." Daughter Frances will never be able to hold her father's hand and she misses him, she added. Kurt committed suicide using a shotgun in April 1994.'

She's a fool. Fools never learn. Of course, I'll bet she has gun-toting security guards, if not her OWN handguns, to protect her, of course...
And now she wants >choke< to join the Marines? Yeah, right......
