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

109. I think you're confused.

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.

Uh...ok?

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.

What "scenario" am I imagining? I didn't even chime in on the topic at all initially, except to question an obviously dumb unreflective of reality, statement.

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?

I wasn't aware that CCW holders were noteworthy for their contributions to rape statististics, or that rapists were generally in the habit of bothering with permits.

Guns are not the answer to this problem.

Please show me where I said they were.


None of the above is really relevant to what I DID write, which was a response to this statement:

"In what bizarro world does the government renounce mandate to protect the public and opt for violent vigilante street justice at the end of a gun as the only way women can avoid a rapist?"

The author of those words, implies that a woman defending herself from a rapist by using a gun, is "violent vigilante street justice at the end of a gun".

I very much disagree with that statement, and so I responded:

In what bizarro world, is defending ones self with a firearm against someone intent on raping you, in any way equivalent to "violent vigilante street justice at the end of a gun"?


Maybe you will take a stab at answering it, instead of attributing to me, scenarios you imagine I imagined, and arguments I did not make.
