Tell that to the rape capital of the Western world Sweden and all the women there who get raped in record numbers because they aren't allowed to carry a gun to defend themselves. Allow them to carry scissors. A rapist castrated with scissors won't be raping anyone again, and nobody has to die Lol this is the kind of utterly non sensical response that people who support banning guns makes in reponse to logical arguments based on facts. Here's a counterargument - we don't carry guns in Canada and we don't have a rape epidemic. Clearly it can't be because of the guns, or else we would Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence, although the exact number remains disputed. Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million. [S]ome scholars point to a radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual defensive uses based on the National Crime Victimization Survey, but this estimate of 108,000 is difficult to interpret because respondents were not asked specifically about defensive gun use. Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was used by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. At the very least 108 thousand civillians used guns to defend themselves from crimes in the US per year, with all national estimates indicating that that number is between 500,000 and 3 million. https://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp#_ftn25 Guns prevent wayyyyy more deaths than they create --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3 <cite>Howl posted [p:897830302] in jfc kids a...
