I happened to stroll onto the Gun Guy's newspage and read an article where anti-gunners reported that women dont need guns for self defense because statistics reveal that 85% of women are victimized by someone they know.
I am outraged by this. Does this mean that because the woman is victimized by someone she knows that the crime is less violent? Some of the most brutal murders and rapes occur by someone the woman has known. Knowing a man doesn't mean that he will be kinder to her when he chooses to victimize her. The report fails to expound and say that it can be a worker who comes to the home, an aquaintance. Someone she has seen before or even said hello to. Even some serial killers have admitted to knowing their victims before killing them. One of the most brutal murders that John Douglas describes in his book JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS was committed by a young man the woman had known. Abusive husbands are also included in this group and some of their deeds are pretty gruesome. (O.J. Simpson)
It is because of this statistic that I think that women should arm themselves with both a gun and a knife.
Did any of you happen to see this on the Gun Guy's page and if you did what were your thoughts?
