"Hey, I'ma rape this bitch...Can't, I'll get shot." "Hey, I'ma murder this motherfucker...Can't I might get shot back." "Hey, I'ma break into this dude's house and rob 'em dry - Can't, I might get shot."

Guns, weapons - A great crime deterrant.

Here is a question. Has an armed, trained, civilian in the USA ever been forcibly raped? I'm sure there is a situation where someone has been disarmed but I would assume that an armed woman defends herself at an incredibly high rate. If anyone knows of a news article that mentioned a woman being raped while carrying, I would very much like to read it.

Long story short....gun grabbers want women to be raped.

It's like the wall. It's not 100% perfect, but boy oh boy, does it get most of 'em.

Would be great to get back to a time when "crime" was a shock instead of a norm.

If only we could pinpoint a group that was committing a staggeringly dis-proportionality of those crimes......

There's a reason why the idiom "When seconds count, police are only minutes away" is so well-known.

Everyone inherently KNOWS that police can't be everywhere at all times to prevent crime. At the best of times, you might get lucky and be helped by a nearby police officer shortly after the crime starts. However, in most circumstances, they're only there AFTER THE FACT, and they may not even be able to solve the crime or bring anyone to justice for it.

You can only count on yourself to protect you and yours in an emergency, and the more America starts accepting that fact, the more we can return to a general sense of peace (as the violent ones get locked up in jail, the crazy ones get placed in mental wards, and both get treated the best we can to potentially help them escape the criminal cycle by rejoining society as a stable friendly citizen).

Try explaining that to an insane liberal.

They just use the "muh over stayed visa" argument.

Man, if we coulda converted the liberals mindset by now, we woulda. That Russian KGB Video comes to mind - how some people are so brainwashed, ya can't change their mind, no matter how many facts ya show them. Imo*

Easier to kidnap kids from unarmed guardians

There was a study done on this way back in the day (that they will never try to replicate) that basically said this. It was among attempted rapes vs. "completion" (shudder) and among the girls that were packing they very rarely managed to get to "go all the way" (gag). We're talking like 2%.

Seriously ladies: if this is an actual real concern for you, like you live in a dangerous area or work late at night, strongly consider concealed carry (then move and get a better job). While rape will always be a thing, it doesn't have to happen to you.

A tazer can be stopped by thick clothing/skin.

Pepper spray and mace need to be aimed directly at the aggressor's eyes/nose for the greatest effect, and even then, some people can still be so pumped up on adrenaline that they keep moving forward almost unhindered.

Melee weapons like collapsible batons depend on the strength of the wielder to be most effective, and women are statistically weaker than men on average.

A gun is the most equal form of self-defense: it won't stop everyone, but it can let a small woman defeat a mountain-sized man in a fight, and it incentivizes criminals to find other targets or just give up their criminal intentions.

When I went to get my first AR-15 at Cabellas a few years ago, the clerk at the counter scoffed at me that as a woman, that "gun" was too much for me and I needed a pistol. "What do you need with an AR anyway?"

Me : "Well as a single woman living in a big white house on a hill with enough acreage so no one will hear me scream... its the stalkers I have on video vandalizing my cars and house in daylight AND at 3 A.M.... after putting up Trump banners and an American Flag..."

That was when an O.E.F. veteran Marine took over my purchase and walked me out to my Lexus and apologized for what the older guy had said. "The AR-15 is perfect for you because it is light, powerful and if someone sees you with it in your hands and they keep coming at you... you will need an AR-15."

I bought some 20 round pmags a barrel mounted flashlight and high tech ear protection. My real inspiration for getting an AR was watching Keanu Reeves run one at Taran Tactical on YouTube. He is such a little guy and that gun was a breeze for him to employ around obstacles at close range. My kind of rifle... my home defense musket for the modern China Flu reality we are all stuck in.

too much to handle? I think my pellet gun kicks about as much.

Tried one at a range before purchase and I was surprised at how little recoil there was. Loud yes, but it so much fun to shoot with an optic. Had a blast making smiley faces on the target like they did in that old Lethal Weapon movie.

Just watch your hands/belongings around the ejection port and/or the barrel, particularly after firing a large number of rounds: the energy of a fired round has to go somewhere (Newton's Third Law), and if the AR-15 is light with little recoil, that means a lot of the energy is leaving the gun as VERY HOT air.

No shit. Recoil? From an AR? Even my wife, who has some joint problems in her shoulders, has no difficulty whatever with my AR15.

She also carries a .380 pistol, but that's another story.

He is/was a Fudd, from what the young Marine alluded to me. .45 ACP single stack, women belong at home, kind of guy.

Good story but Keanu is 6'1. :o

He's no Navy Seal, that is the point I am making. He is slender and svelte.

Just clearing up confusion. ;D If a woman says "6'1" is tiny, they'd presume you're some 10 foot behemoth. ;D

The multi-position stock is what sold me. Whenever I shot traditional wood stock rifles at the range when offered while looking for what to buy, they were horrible, I could not get in the proper shoulder position and could barely reach the forend with my left hand. The AR feels custom right out of the box, one click back from fully collapsed and I tuck in perfectly.

And Australian was talking shit online, saying America has a gun problem and that we are constantly shooting each other. A quick google showed they have a much higher rate of Rape, Arson, and Stabbing.

But Im sure thats unrelated.
