Ever notice that according to the anti-civil rights lobby the ONLY successful defensive gun uses are those that result in a dead thug? Wounding the attacker and thus stopping the attack doesn't count. Nor does either capturing or scaring off the attacker by display of a firearm.

 

Not unlike the debunked Kellerman study that only counted dead bodies, not total crimes stopped. Kind of a shame the young lady, who seemed to be shaking with anger and resentment at the comments of that capon, didn't have the presence of mind to call her on that. Tricky number to track down, the number of rapes prevented by an armed intended victim. Here is one take on it: http://extranosalley.com/?p=15272

 

The latest independent crime victims polls estimate that 512,000
rapes occur each year, 1,400 a day, and just under 17% are reported to
the police. That agrees with the FBI numbers, so I will go with 512,000
rapes, with 17% or one in six reported to the police.

With the magnitude of the problem established:

In the early 1990′s a study concluded that 650 rapes a day were
stopped because the victim was – or may have been – armed. But the
number of women who carry, and the number of homes with guns, is much
higher now.

The latest prisoners surveys estimate that 3,600 rapes a day are
never attempted because the victim either showed a gun, said she had a
gun, or the rapist though the victim had a gun for some other reason.

So one way or the other, guns prevent 3,600 rapes a day, or more than 1.3 million rapes a year.

That is an enormous amount of human misery prevented by the mere presence of a gun.

Looks like the Denver Post has blocked access to the video clip.

 

Gee.... would that be the one thing the media as a whole hates most... "Censorship?"

Gee, Hardpan, if I didn't know you, I would think you're being sarcastic!
