NRA: Burden of preventing rape is on the victim. Carry a gun.

[Novara]

12. If more women carried guns, more women will die from gun deaths

The statistics show over and over again that women who carry guns die from gun violence at a higher rate than women who don't. Women with guns in their homes die from gun deaths at a higher rate. It's really that simple. Guns are often used against the very women who the NRA thinks can be protected by them. They're much more likely to die from them than be protected by them. And if guns are allowed on campus, duh, rapists will be carrying them. In addition, most sexual assaults aren't of the stranger surprising a woman in a back alley type - they're mostly acquaintance rape or a date that goes wrong. He's as likely to grab for her gun in a situation like that as she is. If a man can overpower a woman in order to rape her, he surely can overpower her in order to get hold of her gun. Duh.

And the NRA's stance absolutely puts the responsibility on "don't get raped" rather than "don't rape." That's the WRONG MESSAGE.

More guns = more gun deaths. It's been proven over and over and over again.
