Should women be permitted to protect their own bodies?

[Ingomike]

Should women be permitted to protect their own bodies? Or should they be forced to passively endure an attack until an authorized protector from the government can ride to their rescue?

Apparently the question to ask gun grabbers is "Why are you a sexist pig?"

I love reminding the folks that are for permits, waiting periods, and other "safety mechanisms/cooling off periods" designed to prevent somebody from buying a gun and immediately going on a rampage, that they must hate women.

After all, do they actually think that when she leaves an abusive relationship and he yells after her "You can't leave me! When I find you I'll KILL YOU!" that she doesnt deserve to be able to immediately buy a gun for protection? (and he is dead serious; you can tell by her black eyes) Do they actually think that he will patiently wait for her to jump through the hoops of licensing and waiting periods before he attacks, like kids on the playground wait for you to yell "TIME IN!" when you are ready to start the game? This aint a game, and he aint waiting for her to be ready.

That argument is especially impactful when I'm talking to a married woman and can use her relationship as an example and put her in the victim's shoes.

I've used that very argument.
