Rape Survivor Explains Why She Supports The Second Amendment [VIDEO]

On May 12, 2006, Kimberly Corban was asleep in her college bedroom when a complete stranger raped her.

She thought those was her last moments on earth, as he tried killing her soul by brutally assaulting her body. This assault, her 911 call and her decisions afterward changed the trajectory of her entire life.

Now, she believes “your greatest courage comes from your worst struggles.” She has vowed never to be vulnerable again as she has learned more about self-protection, including how to use a firearm.

With her help and courage, her rapist was caught and convicted in 2007. She has also become a role model and an inspiration to a multitude of other young people who are learning how to protect themselves.

Last week, the head-turning, entrepreneurial TurningPointUSA launched the “Trigger Warning Campus Tour,” featuring Corban talking about her story and what students can do. Her motto is “being a victim is never a choice, but becoming a survivor is.”

“I don’t carry because I worry about what could happen. I carry because I already know.”

There are no promises once citizens learn and train how to use a firearm, but the way you train or how much you know or what you choose to carry is going to be one more tool in your toolbox, Corban says. “Safety and security are multi-layered,” she says, mentioning dogs, security systems, and mace.

Have you ever actually come across anyone who is against the 2nd amendment? I have not. I have seen plenty of folks like you accusing that, assigning that. But nothing else.

Hardley, no one has ever gone after the 2nd amendment, but you have learned to swallow.

No one has ever gone after the 2nd amendment son, you’re babbling.

I'm all for women protecting themselves against assault but I don't think a gun is a practical defense for Rape. It's not like you can tell the Rapist "Oh hold on a sec, let me get my gun out of my purse". Better to learn how to turn yourself into a kicking, scratching, screaming Banshee. That has been proven to be effective in stopping sexual assault.

Wow...the stupid is strong with you.....the clintons had a plan to use lawsuits against gun makers in order to limit gun ownership....New York is trying their best to price any gun ownership out of the hands of the people.....

Repealing an Amendment takes a lot of work....gutting it through poll taxes and literacy tests is far easier and is the way they are attacking the 2nd Amendment.....the 9th and 4th circuit courts are ruling against the 2nd Amendment...

If you have a 2nd Amendment but gun ownership is banned....how the fuck do you have the 2nd Amendment genius....?

And left wing Supreme Court justices want to gut the 2nd Amendment too....

The five extra words that can fix the Second Amendment

Emotional claims that the right to possess deadly weapons is so important that it is protected by the federal Constitution distort intelligent debate about the wisdom of particular aspects of proposed legislation designed to minimize the slaughter caused by the prevalence of guns in private hands. Those emotional arguments would be nullified by the adoption of my proposed amendment.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Have you ever actually come across anyone who is against the 2nd amendment?

Yes, a few times. In fact, I have a friend back east who doesn't think anybody should be allowed to have a gun unless they are law enforcement or military.

It has certainly worked here for 2aguy.

Any attempts to repeal/do away with it?

So no one has mounted an attempt to repeal it, thanks.

Sorry....but the actual research shows you are wrong. As do actual self defense accounts.

Guns Effective Defense Against Rape


However, most recent studies with improved methodology are consistently showing that the more forceful the resistance, the lower the risk of a completed rape, with no increase in physical injury. Sarah Ullman's original research (Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1998) and critical review of past studies (Criminal Justice and Behavior, 1997) are especially valuable in solidifying this conclusion.

I wish to single out one particular subtype of physical resistance: Use of a weapon, and especially a firearm, is statistically a woman's best means of resistance, greatly enhancing her odds of escaping both rape and injury, compared to any other strategy of physical or verbal resistance. This conclusion is drawn from four types of information.

First, a 1989 study (Furby, Journal of Interpersonal Violence) found that both male and female survey respondents judged a gun to be the most effective means that a potential rape victim could use to fend off the assault. Rape "experts" considered it a close second, after eye-gouging.

Second, raw data from the 1979-1985 installments of the Justice Department's annual National Crime Victim Survey show that when a woman resists a stranger rape with a gun, the probability of completion was 0.1 percent and of victim injury 0.0 percent, compared to 31 percent and 40 percent, respectively, for all stranger rapes (Kleck, Social Problems, 1990).

Third, a recent paper (Southwick, Journal of Criminal Justice, 2000) analyzed victim resistance to violent crimes generally, with robbery, aggravated assault and rape considered together. Women who resisted with a gun were 2.5 times more likely to escape without injury than those who did not resist and 4 times more likely to escape uninjured than those who resisted with any means other than a gun. Similarly, their property losses in a robbery were reduced more than six-fold and almost three-fold, respectively, compared to the other categories of resistance strategy.

Fourth, we have two studies in the last 20 years that directly address the outcomes of women who resist attempted rape with a weapon. (Lizotte, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1986; Kleck, Social Problems, 1990.) The former concludes,"Further, women who resist rape with a gun or knife dramatically decrease their probability of completion." (Lizotte did not analyze victim injuries apart from the rape itself.) The latter concludes that "resistance with a gun or knife is the most effective form of resistance for preventing completion of a rape"; this is accomplished "without creating any significant additional risk of other injury."

The best conclusion from available scientific data, then, is when avoidance of rape has failed and one must choose between being raped and resisting, a woman's best option is to resist with a gun in her hands.

So, again a woman's best chance for stopping the rape and ultimately surviving the situation is to use a gun.....

And he was wrong......we know he was wrong because the gun control laws do not reduce criminals ability to get guns....

Research has shown that most so-called 'rapes' are in fact consensual sex or total fabrications by the girly.

Know what we mean?

More guns and crossfire is your lone answer for everything, it is all you ever bring. And anyone who won't follow you down into that rabbit hole is "anti gun". You're really rather sad and pity worthy.

Yes.....read the anti gunners on U.S. message..they constantly tell us the 2nd Amendment needs to be repealed....and if the democrats had the votes, it would be gone...

No...guns are not the answer to everything...but for specific questions of self defense against a violent attacker, a gun answers most of those questions....
