You openly mock anti-rape protection, stating in short that simply killing the person/seriously wounding the person is the only way to be truly safe.
If confronted with this:
do you think a rapist would press the attack and get killed/seriously wounded or would he turn tail and run away? An armed defender does not always have to discharge her firearm to keep an attacker away.
Defense with a gun results in fewer injuries to
the defender (17.4%) than resisting with less powerful means
(knives, 40.3%; other weapon, 22%; physical force, 50.8%; evasion,
34.9%; etc.) and in fewer injuries than not resisting at all
(24.7%). Guns are the safest and most effective means of
protection. This is particularly important to women, children, the
elderly, the handicapped, the weak, and the infirm, those who are
most vulnerable to vicious male predators.

This site could/would make any women without a hand gun feel insecure about being raped
I believe that is one of the major points of the website. And one of the points of the human right to keep and bear arms.
The irony is that the countries where Handguns are illegal are also the ones with the lowest crime and rape numbers through out the world.
I don't believe your assertion here. I would like to see your data on this. I DO know that disarming citizens has proven to lower crime (and probably rape) against those who still have guns. Of course, it's not so great for the portions of the populations that are disarmed:
Countries having successful gun control laws in the 20th Century -- and the results of those laws:
1915-1917 Ottoman Turkey, 1.5 million Armenians murdered
1929-1953 Soviet Union, 20 million people that opposed Stalin were murdered.
1933-1945 Nazi occupied Europe, 13 million Jews, Gypsies and others that opposed Hitler, murdered
1948-1952 China, 20 million anti-communists or communist reformers, murdered
1960-1981 Guatemala, 100,000 Maya Indians, murdered
1971-1979 Uganda, 300,000 Christians and political rivals of Idi Amin, murdered
1975-1979 Cambodia, 1 million educated persons, murdered
1995 Srebrenica Bosnians disarmed by the UN, the UN withdrew, Srebrenica was overrun and over 8,000 now-disarmed people were murdered by the Serb army.
That is more than 2000 unarmed men, women and children murdered by their own government for EVERY SINGLE DAY in the 20th century.
This site uses buss phrases in its small images such as "Police cant be everywhere at once". This is true, its an obvious fact, However the chances of a woman walking alone with no way of running OR defending herself some where the is NO ONE within screaming distance is a rare case.
Again, I do not belief your assertion. It only takes two assailants and a street lined with locked buildings to keep a woman from running. It only takes one assailant to keep a woman from running if there is a dead-end alley or a fence.
-In your scenario, how is she SUPPOSED to defend herself?

Kitty Genovese
-If she screams and people respond, how is anyone who hears her scream supposed to defend her if they don't have a gun?
"Considering that neither pepper spray nor tasers are adequate for self-defense" this is just a lie, Any qualified city police officer would laugh at you.
Then why do Police carry guns? I suppose you could argue that pepper spray or tasers could be considered "adequate", but why should a woman be forced to choose "adequate" over "the best"?
Also -- communities that outlaw carrying handguns usually also outlaw the use of pepper spray and tasers.
Im going to rap this up by saying, Unless you own a gun shop and are secretly trying to scare people into buying guns from you, Then your wasting your time...
Mr. Volk is certainly NOT wasting his time. He is helping in the worldwide fight for human dignity and human rights.
Thanks for your time, you should be shot

Maybe when you grow up, have some real experience in this world and actually put some thought into your beliefs, you will realize how immature, illogical and truly disgusting the last line of your post is.
