[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so, people with guns are somehow less naive and more prepared than everyone else?

That's so incredibly dumb

Only if your answer is "if I find myself in a tough situation, I can just kill someone"

And again, how are you so sure THAT is how it is going to work out?  Because in a LOT of those situations, your attacker can gain access to YOUR weapon and use it against you.[/quote]

I see these “your attacker will just take your gun and kill you with it”  things all the time. But you never hear of it happening, outside of very, very rare occasions. It all seems to be very anecdotal, not supported by data. But instances of women who’ve shot assailants in self-defense are well-documented. There IS data to support that.

And yes, if I find myself in a “tough” situation, as you call it, where my options are either to be sexually assaulted and/or murdered, OR to shoot my would-be attacker, possibly killing them, then that’s an easy choice. I’m going to shoot them. And I’m going to continue shooting them, over and over, until they stop being a threat. If that means they die, then so be it. It won’t trouble me in the least. Perhaps they should’ve considered that outcome before they decided to attack me.

But I’m not going to feel guilty about saving my own life. My family needs me, and I don’t want to die. So if the choice is me, or a man who chose to try and victimize me, then I’m choosing “me”. [/quote]
