25. Torture is against the law, you should just set logic free and stop torturing it.

A typo? So instead of 100 x more defended themselves you meant 10 x more? 660 is not 10 x more than 1600. In fact from your own cite 21% of attempted rape victims simply talked the attacker out of the crime compared to 3% who used a gun for defense.

So now you morph intimate partners to divorced husbands. Its like the claim that hammers kill more people than guns. If you take all blunt instrument homicides and call them a hammer and equate rifles to all guns you could make that claim. It would still be an intentional lie but you could make that claim.

Let's just let this sub thread die a natural death.
