Gun Control: The Real War on Women
This article talks about women’s rights when it comes to ownership of guns. In 2013, Democratic Representative claims that women don’t need guns as a form of protection from rapists… “that’s why we have the whistles.” Democrats are in favor of supporting women’s right to choose abortion, but not to protect themselves from sexual assault. Statistics mention the percentage of women are actually involved in assault cases, and how having a gun locked away at home is not nearly enough. The University of Colorado lists multiple ways women can avoid an attacker since using a gun is out of the question, with examples like screaming or faking an illness. The author then proceeds to poke holes in every example listed, calling them stupid, cliche, and not beneficial in any way. The only real way to scare off the attacker is by pulling a gun out of your purse. A girl on twitter made the hashtag #LiberalTips2AvoidRape, and the liberals were more upset with the hashtag than how much easier they’re making it for women to be raped. Liberals are more worried about the risk of armed women accidentally shooting an innocent than the risk of unarmed women being raped. That statement is why Democrats believe a woman should not be allowed to carry a gun, because she might wound or kill a potential rapist before he can assault her, BUT if she gets pregnant as a result of rape then that baby should definitely die a brutal, horrible death at taxpayers’ expense.
This article relates to my thesis, Americans have rights without the freedom to use them, because women’s right to use guns is being restricted. Not only are women’s rights being limited, but their gun rights to. The Second Amendment of the Constitution gives Americans the “right to bear arms.” By telling women they can’t arm themselves in order to prevent rape, their rights and freedoms are literally being taken and thrown away. This logic can’t possibly make sense to anyone, yet Democrats are dead set against women being armed. Singling out women from men is an example of how women’s rights are being restricted, but the fact that Democrats don’t want women to be armed is an example of how gun rights are being restricted.
