As rape becomes more common in the Sudan, Secretary of State Rice is calling for a "public campaign against violence and the prosecution of rapists". But Countertop has a better, cheaper, and easier solution that's also guaranteed to cut down on recidivism.
That reminds me, it's been a while so here is my obligatory link to an article by the Independent Women's Forum on disarming women. This should be required reading for all women.
Like I said years ago, the article makes several key points:
- Less than 5% of 911 calls dispatched to police are early enough to actually prevent a crime.
- Police and government organizations have no legal obligation to protect you as an individual.
- Firearms proficiency can take only a few hours of practice.
- While martial arts training may "equalize" the disparity between a woman and an attacker, multiple attackers have an advantage.
- Firearms proficiency can make ANY woman strong enough to fend off attackers, regardless of their size or strength.
- In more than 92% of "defensive gun uses" simply brandishing a firearm, or firing a warning shot is enough.
Besides, wearing a pistol makes you look thinner. Ladies, just ask any man, "Does this gun make me look fat?"

My sweetie took me to the gun show at the Dullas Expo Center last weekend. Met lots of very nice gunnies. Talked to a mother/son pair--son was looking at small, light-weight guns as was I--and I asked if mom (who was all of 5-foot) owned. "You bet" she replied. All I could think was--I love this country!
Alas, I didn't find the piece I wanted, but we had fun.
Posted by: Lornkanaga at August 1, 2005 11:07 AMThe only dispute that I would make is that martial arts training may equalize a fight between a well-trained woman and an unskilled male attacker.
Of course, unskilled fighters generally don't prey on other people. What are the odds that you are going to get the first-time mugger or rapist?

Quote of the day!
Posted by: Billll at August 1, 2005 8:27 PMPhelps has and excellent point. I dated a chick who was a Black Belt in Shoryin Ryu (Karate) and we would play wrestle and she would get pissed off, even violent when she lost (which was whenever I actually tried) I told her that Karate was not Judo. I had no formal fighting instruction at the time, but if I got her off her feet, I�d win.
I just don't understand how a cornerstone of the Feminist movement has always been servitude and sub ordinance to the Government. I've never met a pro-gun feminist.
Very Nice piece
Quoted and linked it for Wed.
Thank you
