"but how many other women are raped because, under the same "basic right," their assailants were also allowed to carry a gun?"
I wasn't aware that anyone had a "basic right" to carry a gun while committing a felony? In fact it has been my understand that using a gun during the commission of a felony was usually a seperate felony in and of itself.
This lady is obviously more up on things than I am. Must be getting old and just remembering things like it was back when I was a kid 4 or 5 decades ago. Hadn't realized how the liberals had loosened things up since I was a kid. And now they're grumbling about it.
Oh well.

Further proof that just because a person can read, write, and use words with more than three syllables they can still be crazy.
The honest measure of the protective benifits of guns are the lives saved, the injuries prevented, the medical costs saved, and the property protected, not a burglar or rapist body count.
Only 0.1%(1 in 1000) of the defensive uses of guns results in the death of the predator.
Any study that states figures like "a homeowner is 43 times more likely to kill a family member" is a fallacy.
That only counts bodies and will expectedly underestimate the benefits of guns a 1000 fold.
That would be like saying that finding slim-fast in the fridge of over-weight people causes obesity.
Would anyone suggest that the only measure of the benefit of police is the number of people they kill each year?
65 lives protected by guns for every life lost to a gun.
