I'm not used to feminists with guns.
A hairy armpit and an annoying voice will not always stop a 280 pound rapist.
It's pointless because then the antis would have to explain why an increase in the number of firearms in this country has been accompanied by a decrease in firearms death rates.
False. More guns means less of all these things - as partially shown later in this very silly article where England's rising violent crime rate is mentioned. But then a lack of consistency is no surprise.
And now We roam in Sovereign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him -
The Mountains straight reply -
And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through -
And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master's Head - 'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's
Deep Pillow - to have shared -
To foe of His - I'm deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -
Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without--the power to die--
Emily Dickinson, Mt Holyoke alumnus
Typical liberal spin: an unsubstantiated claim that he is correct.
Bizarre logic.
Not only that - but Japan has about zero population of the demographic groups who make up the majority of both perps and victims in the U.S. homicide rate: blacks and Hispanics. Federal statistics released by Jackboot Janet Reno herself say that black Americans commit homicide at EIGHT times the rate that European-Americans do - and die from homicide at FIVE times the rate that European-Americans do.
Interestingly, the extreme racial disproportionality applies to all beyond-fistfight violent crime in the U.S. - including that very rarely involving guns, such as rape.

I can only picture this reporter covering his ears, closing his eyes and repeatedly saying "Don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, la la la lala lala laalaalaaaaa!"
Don't suppose its fair of me to ask our country to let me keep my 2nd ammendment rights to keep and bear arms for this eventuality is it? At the obvious risk of cowboy style firefight in bars and in the streets. Think of it, a world where murders and rapists are shot for murdering and raping, such savagery I can hardly imagine.
