since when cant you shoot someone you know ?That is the stupidest bs I've ever heard in my life.This push by the NRA and other gun fondlers is sheer assholery on many levels. For one thing, it’s actually a subtle form of rape denialism. After all, their entire sales pitch relies on implying that “campus rape” is a matter of strangers jumping out of bushes. In reality, most rapes are committed by people you know who exploit social situations such as parties and dates in order to get the victim’s guard down—situations where the victim is not going to be armed, because being armed around alcohol breaks gun safety rule #1. So this whole “stop rape by arming women” plan only makes sense if you assume that it’s not really rape if you know your rapist. So, it’s just rape denialism.
When you legalize guns on campus rapists will have more guns to rape with.
Yes when you look at the stats almost no rapes are defendable with a gun. Like 80% somebody you know. 50% involve drugs and or alcohol. 60% of victims are minors who can't have a gun. Then there are those caught sleeping.... They are really trying to sell guns, not stop rape.
All it does is open colleges up to the 17000 accidental shootings that happen each year.
But just for yucks and giggles..why don't you source that particular piece of nonsense? Show me the stats that show that "almost no rapes are defendable with a gun". That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.
So obviously you know nothing about the subject.
Rape Statistics
74% assailant is well known to victim. -Gun won't help with those.
61% victim under 18. -Can't have a gun.
Date Rape Drugs and Alcohol Sexual Assault Counseling Center Pepperdine Community
55% of female students and 75% of male students involved in acquaintance rape admit to having been drinking or using drugs when the incident occurred. - gun isn't much good if you are drunk or high.
So only a small percent are defendable by a gun. After that subtract instances where there is no chance to use a gun like the victim is surprised in her sleep. And then after than take into account that not very many women will choose to carry a gun. Only 11 million people choose to carry in the whole country. End result is guns are not the answer to rape. It will sell more guns is about it. Republican aren't concerned about stopping rape, just selling guns. And by forcing colleges to allow guns on campus they will be opening the doors to the 600+ accidental deaths each year and 17,000 accidental shootings. I think colleges have the right to not allow firearms if they choose.
Here is a good answer for you:
Think about it for a moment. Does a man who intends to rape a woman stand 50 feet away, and walk (or even run) toward a woman and say "I'm going to come over there and rape you?" Of course not. If that actually were the case, a potential survivor might well have time to reach in a purse for a gun and threaten the perpetrator with it. However, rape happens after a perpetrator skillfully invades a survivor's personal space, often weakens her defenses with alcohol, and may even initiate consensual behavior before ignoring the desires of the survivor to move forward. In the fog of alcohol-fueled consensual kissing or just relaxing on a couch, reasonable individuals don't hold a drink in one hand and a nine millimeter in the other. They are with someone they often trust. That is one of the horrible things about rape. It not only violates the survivor physically in the most horrific way, it also violates her sense of security of choosing to be around an individual she previously had reason to trust.
No More Campus Guns Won t Decrease Rape John Foubert
And yet, when Florida had a outbreak of rapes back in the late 1960's and early '70's the police armed thousands of women and taught them how to shoot. And made it public knowledge that they had done so and the rape frequency dropped.
I wonder why that is?
