Nothing will stop them, and the law will allow them to rape/attack us.

In the US, a not tiny % of women carry guns. Let's hope the threat of having their heads blown off keeps the penised in line.

There are going to be so many women buying guns if the Equality Act passes, and lots of tragic accidents/murders/suicides probably too.

I grew up surrounded by guns; people learned how to shoot as soon as they could hold and aim straight. It wasn't considered aggressive to own a gun because everyone owned a gun. It was like owning a wallet or something.

I know that some of the British rad fems freak out about gun ownership, but to me it's an equalizer for women, and yes, if I were threatened, I would shoot and shoot to kill.

And I am not a violent person, quite the opposite, but I'm sure glad I'm a crack shot and have a lethal weapon that I can carry in my purse.

Much better to draw gun late (not as a threat, but when you've become certain to shoot), and aim low, at the belly or crotch - femeral artery may be hit, then fire three more rounds moving up the body, finishing at the head. Strategy wise. You'll have rounds remaining if needed. Get training.

See, real life ain't a movie or TV show. A gun is NOT a threat!! A gun is a weapon. If you are not certain you could kill another living being, stick to other methods of defense, cause that gun would be used on YOU!!

Guns are very frightening, but I have training. I was raised around guns.

I never want to use a gun on another human being, but if men are allowed to come into spaces where I or other women are naked or otherwise vulnerable, I'm going to be glad I have a gun, just in case.

I saw your other comment. I'm glad you are responsible with firearms. My comment was for the masses of women who're only familiar with them from entertainment venues. It's foolish to assume they'd be able to only wound,and not kill, an attacker. They need to decide whether they can kill, BEFORE they get a gun - for everyone's safety, lest the attacker obtains that gun to coerce his next victim.

IMO, only women should have guns (like that would ever happen, but still...). I'm not anti firearms- don't presume Beb.

I completely agree with you.
