1 in 36 college women is a victim of an attempted or completed rape in each academic year. As a result, across the country, women live in constant fear that they will be attacked at home, at work, at school, or in public places. Few women walk home alone at night without being concerned for their safety.

Stop infringing on their 2nd amendment rights and those numbers will plummet. Typical of politicians and bureaucrats to create a problem (trashing 2nd amendment) while lauding how they're fixing a problem (gun violence). Next problem (the one the politicians and bureaucrats made worse -- see above italicized quote) they want more more money and power to fix. The "tool kit" is a nice idea but it rests on a problem government made worse. The end result will be no different than the first problem they created in order to claim they're fixing a problem. They do that in order to "justify" their unearned paychecks.

Hey - I agree on that point. (IOW - DON'T blame me, I am all for C & C.)

There is no better equalizer for a woman than a firearm ...

However, that being said, there is MUCH more to this 'issue' that author of this very opinionated piece attempts draw out of thein air - he's working to create a straw man for whatever stange political purpose he's got in mind ...
