Don't you dare try to push that garbage on me; I'm smarter than that.
LOL another very stupid post. If you want to carry a gun do it. If not don't.
That's exactly what she said. So if her post was stupid then what was yours?

Nothing in the thread is about Bill Clinton.

Do show me the statistics on this...
Here, read this website and see if you can learn something: RAINN: The nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization.One of

Here's one...
2/3 of all rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.
Here's another...
44% of all rapes occur on people under 18.

Now you want to arm kids?
Let's discuss who is fear mongering and making up "facts".

Apparently the opposite is true for many.
I have no reason to have or want a gun.
I have read the statistics and they're not pretty.

Funny how you men bandy about the term rape when you have absolutely no idea what it truly is.
Feel free to keep your fear mongering to yourself.

Women are capable of making decisions for their own lives.
We're not a bunch of idiots, no matter how often and in how many new and inventive ways you try to assert that we are.

Being armed is wise, and if the criminals had to fear that a large portion of the citizenry in every state might be armed, we'd be safer. The very appearance of strength deters crime, just as when we are in public, if we are one of the ones that looks right at people, not looking lost in thought and unaware, the psychology of the crook is that, of course we are the ones they don't go after.

3 elements of a weapon, possession, training, volition. w/o all 3 u got nothing.

This thread, as are many on CD, another way to push gun agendas... this time by asserting that women are stupid.
I'm rather sick of this.
Keep your fear mongering to your own gender.
How's that.

The little women don't need your paternalistic "concern".

My wife carries a .38 snub wherever she goes. I just purchased a .20 gauge shotgun for my daughters 12th birthday. Pink one. They know how to use or in my daughters case will know how to use their weapons. Some sad sack comes up on em good luck to em. They're gonna need it.

You call the cops chielgirl. Meanwhile as your beaten and mugged or worse remember to thank them as they show up to take you to the hospital and take your report.

Men don't know what rape is?????????????

If you don't want a gun that is fine. Its when you try to stand in the way of people that wants a gun is when I don't like you people. You are the worst type of people.

"I don't smoke you shouldn't either"

I don't need a car why is it you need one"

I hate guns and nobody should own them"

these are the types of people that are killing this country.

I want a gun to kill scombags when and if they come into my house. I will kill anyone that tries to harm my family. You have no say in whether I get a gun or not. Try to come take my gun and I will shoot you also.

See thats America it is my right.

I think you are conflicted between common sense (men in general are likely to attack the vulnerable for their own satisfaction) and ideology (it's not good to have bad consideration of "certain" men even if they are most likely to do rape).

Its not fear. Get that into your brain. It is a right to own a gun if you want one.


I fear nobody. Why should I be disadvantaged when the criminals have the guns.


Not pushing anything. You do what is right for you. Why post in this thread? you want to push your own agenda of not wanting people to own guns.
