Gun control laws threaten to leave millions of women importuning violent predators for their lives, and sometimes those predators are their husbands.
Awakening to the sound of a door being kicked in, 87-year-old Altha Rider arose and met the intruder at the carport door with her .38 pistol in hand, at which point he became “scared” and ran off. When police arrested him the next day, he had “in his possession several items taken from other homes in the area.” The intruder was already on parole for a previous burglary conviction.
There are three important points here:
1. Police didn’t arrive until attacker left.
2. How did an 87-year-old woman scare an experienced, violent felon? She had a gun.
3. Law-abiding gun owners, being peaceable citizens, rarely fire a gun in self-defense.
Pamela Cowan had a protection order against her husband, but that didn’t stop him from targeting her for “a night of abuse…and a gunshot to the chest.” He put his gun down and “poured gasoline throughout the house and on his wife.” She grabbed the gun and shot him once in the head, killing him before he could finish his grisly murder.
There are two important points here:
1. Violent men ignore restraining orders.
2. Anti-gun advocates tell women that keeping a gun at home will just result in the attacker taking it away and using it on her. The truth is that nearly all “gun taken away” news stories report that the victim takes away the attacker’s gun and uses it against him.
The United Kingdom banned guns in 1997. As one indicator of violence against women, between 1995 and 2006 the rate of rape in the UK increased 76.5%, while rape decreased 16.7% in “gun-toting” United States. British women are now raped twice as often as American women. It seems violent men are scared by women with guns.
Lechea Crawford wasn’t so lucky. Her new husband, Davon Crawford, decided that the best way to resolve her “nagging” was to kill her. Apparently not wanting to leave witnesses, he also killed her sister and three of the sister’s children. When police finally caught up to Davon, he committed suicide because he didn’t want to return to prison: He had served five years for domestic violence against his former wife.
Three points here:
1. Criminals are already banned from owning firearms.
2. If criminals don’t obey gun bans, then banning guns won’t work. British criminals can buy any gun they want.
3. Unarmed women don’t scare violent husbands.
A recent article noted that states rated highest by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, in terms of their “sensible gun laws,” also had the lowest gun ownership levels and the highest violent crime and murder rates.
Two points here:
1. When the Brady Campaign says they support “sensible gun laws,” that really means they believe little old ladies like Altha Rider should be at the mercy of violent criminals.
2. Brady Campaign prefers women like Lechea Crawford because she didn’t use a firearm to defend herself, and as a result, her sister and three children were also murdered.
Brady Campaign’s statements favor criminals’ rights and dead people over self-sufficient women who take care of themselves. Isn’t this sexist?
For in-depth analysis of gun control’s deadly impact on women in all regions of the world, read Four Hundred Years of Gun Control: Why Isn’t It Working?, which deconstructs the gun control agenda and motivates more people to support our civil right of self-defense.
