Ryan, once again you talk out of your ass.
In my 32 years of life, I have dated three women who ha been raped. I doubt you're really in a position to tell how women feel about the issue.
As I've stated before, I've been teh victim of a violent crime in which my attacker wielded a deadly weapon, though not a firearm. Don't believe me? The NYPD has the full scoop.
So I think I speak from exproience rather than from a place of privilege and smug philosophy.
And for those of you who think that gun owners are somehow using them to be "macho," don't you think that's a silly assertion to make on this bard?? I mean, that's what the rest of society says about those of us who lift weights, right?? And it's just as untrue.
My cock is quite large enough, thank you. I've had sex with more women than I count on my hands, I am married, and I have a son. My masculinity is quite secure.
On top of that, my wife and I have had our lives threatened by the same person. I think it's prudent to take defensive measures.
