Gun Control: As the Colorado legislature considers a ban on campus concealed carry, a woman testifying how she was raped in a "safe zone" 50 feet from a police station is told that armed defense is useless.
It didn't receive quite as much media coverage as Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke's plea for free contraceptives before Congress but on Monday a young woman named Amanda Collins mustered the courage to testify before a Colorado legislative committee on that state's proposed gun ban legislation.
Collins was raped at gunpoint in a University of Nevada-Reno parking garage in October 2007. Nevada law prohibited her from carrying a gun on the campus, but her attacker had one. She was raped 50 feet away from the campus police department office. Her attacker was James Biela, a serial rapist who raped two other women and murdered another.
He attacked her at gunpoint in a gun-free zone. At the time of the attack, Collins had a concealed weapons permit but not her firearm due to university policies prohibiting carrying concealed weapons on campus. Just such a gun-free zone policy is why the Aurora, Colo., shooter chose the theater he did.
As she ended her compelling testimony, she asked the committee, "How does rendering me defenseless protect you against a violent crime?"

In response, Democrat Sen. Evie Hudak lectured her that "statistics are not on your side." She said that Collins had rudimentary training in martial arts, yet the rapist overpowered her and therefore could have taken her gun if she had one.Hudak is stupid, inept and sick in the head.

It is not the Colorado that I lived in from 79 to 84.
It was all the liberals running for cheaper housing that ruined a great state.

Sheez! The CO GOP has been a mess for some time. If we could get it together we could easily take this state back from the Progressives commies. Unfortunately repealing laws once made is difficult even with a majority. These new gun control laws are setting CO on a very dangerous course.

Here is a picture of senator Evie Hudak, holding an object she says if women used more often, they wouldn't have to go out in public trolling for a rapist to get the sex they need.

This is definitely one of the most “guilty” females on FR in quite a while, LOL.

Women, Salazar opined, "couldn't possibly know if they are in danger. 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 ... pop around at somebody." What a jerk
There are certainly times when a woman knows she is in danger. Like when she is in a college parking garage and a huge man she doesnt know is pointing a gun at her.
Very few women are going to shoot someone that is simply following her. This guy is a condescending a-hole and should be elected out of office at the earliest opportunity.

What the heck is that, a road flare? Is that what she uses for stimulation?

Here's the conversation-shocker you need to be ready with:

Even if she lost a ton of weight there still wouldn’t be any hope...
To: TigersEye
She’d have to pay a rapist and even then...She’s in no real position to speak about fear of being a rape victim. She has no experience or “opportunities” as she probably sees them...
To: raptor22
Hudak? If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t that the name given to the beached whale in...where was it? Oregon?
