"Suzanne" > wrote in message ... > > Gun Control, 210lb. rapist taking the gun away from 110lb. women...or 210lb > raping the 110lb women with his gun pointing to her head. Comprehensive research has shown that a gun, when used defensively, is taken away from the defender less than one percent of the time, and that a person who uses a gun to defend against a crime is less likely to have the crime completed against them, and less likely to be injured during the commission of the crime than a person who resists without a gun or who resists using other means. http://www.rkba.org/research/kleck/point-blank-summary |

I see what you're trying to say to this nutcase, Suzanne. Maybe I can help .. . . In other words, just lie back and try to enjoy it. Close your eyes and try to think of . . . oh, I don't know . . . David Hasselhoff. And if you've been doing your Kegels, you'll know how to relax those muscles so the ordeal will be over with a little faster. After all, your safest bet is to submit to his every whim, and hope he doesn't get too jittery about leaving a witness. Naturally, this is a safer course of action than trying to use force--especially deadly force--to resist. After all, you may be allowed to leave alive, having lost only your dignity and that intrinsic sense of security that most folks take for granted. Certainly those things aren't important enough to warrant bloodshed. |

This raises a couple of issues 1) Why do you presume that any woman who makes the decision to carry who be so stupid as to be unprepared for the eventuality of getting out her gun to defend herself ? 2) Why do you presume that a woman who decides to be pro-active about her defense would ever let a dangerous male get close enough to her to be at risk ? |

Maybe you should read the works of criminologist Gary Kleck about the number of Defensive Gun Use that occurs annually in the US. It is estimated to beat least 100,000 incidents per year That works out to about 270 per day. Now naturally this does not imply that shots were fired.

I don't believe in > shoot first and ask question later (if he/she survives). In many cases, you don't even have to "shoot" a gun for it to be effective. If a person threatens to beat you up for your wallet, a gun can convince them to try somewhere else without a shot fired.. As to the attitude of shooting first and ask questions later. Do you also believe in bein assaulted first and asking question later ? I know from personal experience that assault victims RARELY feel that way. > And may I ask how > do I come across as having low opinion of women.

Well, do you? > I think that your position that an armed woman would be easily disarmed by an assailant is not a very positive view of women and their ability to defend themselves. This may be true for you. And maybe you enjoy being helpless in the face of danger. But there are a lot of woment who choose not to be helpless and who would resent your imputation that they are incompetent to put up a successfull defense against an assailant. As a matter of fact, many women who have successfully defended themselves against attack would think that you are their worst ennemy for believing that they should not have access to a tool that gives them the best means of self-defense. Maybe you should read the works of criminologist Gary Kleck about the number of Defensive Gun Use that occurs annually in the US.

Wouldn't you think this is necessary in this civilized nation?? > Actually, REAL gun control is hitting what your target. That political, called gun-control is not really about guns. It's just another form of people control. Those in power control the rest of the population so that they can't be ousted from power. That was the basis of the gun-control laws passed in the southern states after the Civil War of 1860-1864. To control the newly-freed black population Control without which the KKK and their ilk could not have ridden so roughshod over the black populations for the next 100 years That was the basis for the Sullivan Act in NY City. To insure that the corrupt Irish Tammany Hall politicos would not be ejected by force by the non-Irish populations of NY City. You may want to go over to the www.JPFO.org web site. It might open your eyes to the history of gun-control and its tragic results. |

It was the fact that 2 boys were constantly allowed to be abused in their school to the point where their only way of responding was violence. And notice that all the gun laws currently in place did NOTHING to prevent them from ILLEGALLY acquiring firearms to do what they did.. More gun laws would not prevent another Columbine. Just take Dunblane England as an example. That occurred in a country with far less guns in the hands of the public and even more restrictions on the accessibility to guns by the public. Idem for the University of Montreal Massacre in Canada, and the Port Arthur massacre in Australia. On the other hand contrary to what the gun-controllers claimed when Florida became a shall-issue state. Florida did NOT become the "Gunshine State". Instead the rate of crimes agains individuals dropped much faster that in those states that remained with gun-control.. IN the same way, compare Alexandria Viriginia, a bedroom suburb of Washington D.C. and Washington D.C.By your premise D.C. should be a lot safer than Alexandria, because Virginia is a concealed-carry state while D.C. has a near-total ban of gun-ownership. And yet Washington has been the murder capital while Alexandria is nearly crime-free. Disarming the population does NOT disarm the criminals. It only makes the law-abiding defenseless. And your dreams of Utopia are just that. Dreams |

: > Maybe you should read the works of criminologist Gary Kleck about the number of Defensive Gun Use that occurs annually in the US. It is estimated to beat least 100,000 incidents per year That works out to about 270 per day. Now naturally this does not imply that shots were fired. It means that the gun was either shown up to the gun was actually fired, but in all cases the intended criminal activity was stopped. Two things you should point out about the Kleck study. 1) By his research, the 100,000 incidents of crime being stopped because a gun was on the scene is greater than the number of incidents where a gun was used in the commission of a crime. 2) Gary Kleck went into his study with moderately strong views in favor of more gun control laws. He no longer works toward expanded gun control. |

(I had changed my mind on how to present that argument and did not do a good follow-through on my text) The 100,000 number is from another source based on DOJ data gleaned from police reports. In actual fact, considering that in many cases, telling the police that you used a gun to defend yourself may cause you more problems than the actual crime you stopped. So the 100K number is INCREDIBLY conservative. Just look at the Dixon case In New York this last year, where he (Dixon) was prosecuted for using a gun to shoot someone who had broken into his infant son's bedroom. The reason for the prosecution was that his legally purchased (in Florida) handgun was not yet registered in the Byzantine system of the NYPD as required by the Sullivan Act. > 2) Gary Kleck went into his study with moderately strong views in favor of > more gun control laws. He no longer works toward expanded gun control. The same can be said of John Lott who also was originally hired by the ant-gun crowd and did a u-turn when he saw the numbers produced by his study. It should be noted that the study was originally funded by the anti-gun crowd. There was also another study whose intent was to discredit Kleck with his 2.5M estimate. They were embarrassed when their methodology came up with a 4M estimate Demonstrating that Kleck may have been conservative in his numbers. .. |

It's off topic for the group, so I won't ask for this information to be posted here, but I would be interested in seeing it. I'm very interested in the methods they used to collect their data. I would appreciate it if you would email links to the reports or some additional information to help me on a web search to me at the despammed address above. If not, I understand your reasons. |

Yeah, that was a quote of Lee "White Aryan Resistance" Harrison.
