*agrees*

To all gun-maniacs: So... let's say that you've got a gun. Yeah, right. What now? Are you actually going to fire? For any SANE person, it's hard to pull the trigger (mentaly, not pshycicaly) even if it's against a rapist. You should know that there will be consequences.

Are just going to aim it at him/them? What if you fire by misstake? What if they are stupid enough to keep walking closer to you? And even more important... what if you're not fast enough?

Guns in general are not very reliable weapons and they can easily change owner in chaotic situations. Rapists are sick people. A gun in the hands of a sick person is a bad idea. Actually... a gun in the hands of ANY person is a bad idea. Guns sucks.



As for rape itself, I think it's just as bad as murder.
