You really are daft. You obviously think the world is better if everyone is a potential rape victim.

It only of interest to nutjobs like you who project their own fear to disarm legal gun owners due to fear of illegal gun users.

Btw, we already have a few gun threads. If you would try reading or searching around you'd know that. Also you wouldn't barge into the shoutbox and links to 'studies' I already linked to and discussed prior. You're just completely out of your depth due to bias.

There is no 'study' possible that would prove an innocent person is better off defenseless against a vicious more powerful and/or armed attacker. Go pull your head out of your ass and play clash of clans or Civ. Might learn something.

People like you are a criminal's and terrorist's best friend. Gratz!

It is all the time, and was in the past. Chris gets it for talking shit the day after four of my Marine brothers died. That's about as personal as it gets and he believes I need to be a victim just like they were so he can feel safe in his 'mind'. Fuck that. The gloves are off when you when you want to threaten my safety and well being.

You want to play armchair counter-terrorist and criminology expert with people who actually put their lives on the line in real life? Then suffer the consequences. The real world is not the Internet.

Go ahead and call me asshatilus. I could give two-fucks. It's nothing compared to my own custom-title. I don't care because I'm not a weak bitch that needs to infringe on peoples liberty to defend themselves so I can sleep comfortably in my imaginary bubble blanket.

Oh yeah, Chris also has been misreading and blew up the shoutbox calling Claritas a racist who thinks black people are inherently stupid. Forgive me if my karma meter if is full effect. This is a little personal and probably not best for others to get involved publicly. Due to the fact that people are dying and this hypocritical position about women being victimized, I am making this public by calling a spade a spade. Too bad if it makes you uncomfrotable.

I just hope he does not own a gun

"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."

Maybe because Kunlun has said some stupid shit on that topic in the past.
