Las Vegas Republican calls for ‘hot little girls’ to be armed to stop campus rapes

[stevenleser]

107. Most college rape is date or acquaintance rape. In other words it's a guy a woman is already

Allowing within her personal space. If it became known that women were concealed carrying, the likely result is that in the first few moments of the attack, the rapist would search for a gun and disarm the woman and probably use the gun to facilitate the rape. Rape is a crime where the rapist overpowers their victim physically or through coercion with a weapon. A gun is not going to help a person in an acquaintance rape or a rape facilitated with a weapon or alcohol/drugs.

The scenario you are imagining is an unknown assailant trying to chase down a woman in a lot or park and she has time before the rapist closes the distance to draw her weapon and fire. That's not a typical campus rape situation.

And by the way, are you considering that in a concealed carry campus, guys would be carrying too and could simply pull their guns out at the very beginning and demand the woman disrobe, effectively disarming them as well in the process?

Guns are not the answer to this problem.
