Gun Control: The silent media ignore a Colorado Democrat who says women don't need firearms to defend themselves from predators and a patronizing vice president who says women can't handle an AR-15 anyway.
On Monday, the Colorado House passed four gun control bills. Among them is HB13-1226. It would ban concealed weapons on college campuses, as if creating more gun-free zones, such as the one around the Aurora, Colo., theater, where 12 were killed and another 59 wounded, will prevent more massacres.
Colorado is a concealed-carry state, as was Virginia at the time of the Virginia Tech shootings. But like the Aurora theater, Virginia Tech had declared itself a gun-free zone. It's a lesson the Colorado House apparently didn't learn.
John Fund, writing in National Review, notes that the Aurora shooter had a choice, within a 20-minute drive from his home, of seven movie theaters that were showing the Batman movie with which he was obsessed.
The Cinemark Theater he chose wasn't the closest, but was the only one that banned customers from carrying their guns inside, allowed under Colorado law.
Supporting HB13-1226 was Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar said that even if women feel like they're going to be raped, that's no justification for carrying a Glock in your purse or book bag.
"It's why we have call boxes; it's why we have safe zones; it's why we have the whistles," Salazar opined.
"Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop ...

Any GOP candidate for public office must assume that anyone in the press is an operative for or an employee of the Democrat party until proven otherwise.
The GOPe would support the democrat instead.
It would be P-O-T-A-T-O-E all over again
How about a Whoopi rape rape whistle?
The title is a silly question. The same MSM mediawhores that think Marco Rubio sipping water during a speech is a career ender think Mendez drilling 16 year old girls is a non story.
Only if you use it as a suppository. Arrest anyone running around whistling "Dixie". Whoopeee!
Since I am this very minute listening to Claire McCaskill defending Chuck Hagel on FNS, I am wishing that Todd had been a little smarter with the media and been able to beat her!

There’s a complete double standard. If a leftist does something reprehensible, nothing comes of it. If a normal person SAYS a word that they left can hang him on, it’s all over the news until he grovels in submission.

Stupid statement by leftists are excused for a reason. The left has successfully indoctrinated the public, through academia and the press, that they are the only view that “cares”.
This caring is then used as the justification for other views being ignored.
Sowell explained this very well in The Vision of the Annointed.

lol, thats a good one
Rape Whistles attached to 9mm pistols would be a good thing..
Only women raped in Alaska are the UNarmed ones..
I guess the question is “What effect would rape whistles have on potential rapists?”
The answer for moron democrats is that potential rapists will be more likely to bring along their own ear protection.
FUBO & FAD
The PhonyCon Liberals who attacked Akin are probably quietly cheering any and all Dem rape comments. The PhonyCon Liberals who attacked Akin pretty much were Claire McCaskill stooges
