A female Republican politician sponsoring legislation to allow guns on campuses has caused outrage by arguing that university rapists would be deterred “if these young, hot little girls had a firearm.” (nationalpost.com)

I am so very, very saddened by the majority of the comments in this thread.

As an MMA gym owner, I teach many women how to defend themselves from an attacker such as a mugger or a rapist. However, the #1 piece of advice I offer to ALL my students (both male & female) is to buy a gun and learn how to properly use it.

It's disgusting to see so many women advocating for other women to not have the means to adequately defend themselves. My little sister also fights, yet she still has her concealed carry permit. Hell, even though I can easily dismantle 99% of the population, I also carry a firearm because when faced with more than one assailant or when faced with someone who has a firearm, most hand-to-hand combat training is worthless.

Ladies, stop listening to these other idiot women who know NOTHING about self-defense. Stop embracing the nobility of victimhood and and learn how to actively defend yourself. I'm so sick & tired of the SJWs shouting, "We shouldn't have to learn to protect ourselves form rape, men should just stop raping!!!" Christ, that is such a delusional outlook on life. It's as retarded as saying "Soldiers shouldn't have to worry defending themselves from terrorist attacks, terrorists should learn to be come more accepting of other faiths." Shit ain't gonna happen.

Stop being a victim and stop advocating for your own means of self-defense to be taken away.

Thank you! I am shocked at how many articles I see on this sub urging women to learn martial arts to defend themselves but when the subject of getting a concealed carry permit comes up it is adamantly protested by the same group of people. I've seen every disgusting attempt at rationalizing this type of thought from "girls don't know how to shoot," to "a girl will be drunk anyway so don't let the rapist steal a gun too," to "the girls will disobey the law to take guns into bars." I'm all for a different opinion on the matter but these comments are woefully ignorant on the laws surrounding concealed carry and demean the intelligence of the women who currently conceal carry.

Awesome. You should check out my friend's website:

http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/about/

Not only is she a Gracie Jiu Jitsu black belt, she is an active concealed carry firearm carrier and a huge advocate of women utilizing every single advantage they have to protect themselves.

Blah, I hate this argument. I'm not against gun ownership or gun rights. I grew up with guns in the house, and I've fired plenty in my lifetime.

But I don't want to carry one around 24/7.

I don't think the solution is for everyone to carry a deadly weapon around with them wherever they go. We live in America, for god's sake, a fabulously wealthy first world country. I should not need to carry a firearm to defend myself on a college campus in one of the richest countries in the world.

Considering how much we already shoot each other compared to every other civilized nation on this planet, I just don't understand the mentality that many people seem to have which insists that everything would be better if everyone was lethally armed! What the heck?

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure no one is trying to force you to carry a firearm. If you don't want to carry one, then don't.

I shouldn't need to wear a seatbelt when I drive and I shouldn't have to keep a fire extinguisher in my house, but I do because if I absolutely need it, I'm gonna be glad I have it.

I don't think people are really saying they shouldn't have to, they are more so saying this is not practical advice, how the hell do you use a gun on a person who is in that close a contact and already physically over powering you. People do not generally know they are being assaulted until it is happening. Where the hell does a gun factor into a close contact altercation? Isn't that a major risk of being disarmed or having it turned on you?

I would really like to know what kind of scenarios you imagine the gun helping with, all I can think is maybe some kind of home invasion?

also lol, you said SJW non-ironically...

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (6子コメント)

Despite what action movies may tell you, most shootings happen in close quarters. So much so that the FBI has changed it's training procedures to reflect that:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/01/05/fbi-firearms-training/1811053/

And a firearm would be needed in many scenarios beyond a home invasion such as as rape, muggings, car jacking or of course the #1 and best use of a firearm, to dissuade someone from violence without ever firing. Truth is, most firearm incidents occur without anyone being shot. The mere presence of a gun is often enough to prevent violence.

Years ago before I had a home office, I once had a late night break in at my office building while I was working rather late. I was able to detain the suspect with the use of a my pistol without firing a shot. had I not had a gun, I would have been forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat which would have put me in greater danger and would have lead to severe injuries for the person who broke into my building.

i am not advocating that everyone "just go buy a gun". I am encouraging people to become educated on forearms and their proper use. For some unknown reason it seems that anti-gun people only think the military and law enforcement officers are ever capable of using a firearm. They are just people like anyone else. Anyone who takes the time to learn how to safely carry & shoot should be allowed the means to defend themselves.

As they say, "God made all men. Sam Colt made them equal."

I think some people forget that we are not all in the US. I'm in Ireland and we have very little gun problems, The burglars don't have guns, they run away when they see someone is there.

The police don't even have guns unless you specially call the armed ones in. We all operate just fine. Home invasions are pretty unheard of, The only ones Ive heard of are by criminal gangs who has their own guns, and usually for the purpose of robbing valuables.

I guess I may sound like an anti gun nut to some, when I'm a person who grew up with a significant absence of firearms. and can't imagine more firearms making anything better.

You'd have gun rights if you had successfully overthrown the British Empire by shooting their soldiers like we did. Here we are all talking about self-defense, but the true reason Americans have the right to keep & bear arms is for the violent overthrow of the American government. As our forefathers had to kill their own government's soldiers to earn their freedom, they saw fit to keep their citizens well armed to 1.) hopefully prevent a tyrannically government as the government should fear it's people and 2.) depose of a government that does become so evil that it cannot be rectified.

I for one, would loathe the day that America falls into another revolution. Yet that is why we have the right to keep military grade weaponry. Hunting and carrying for self-defense is just a side issue.

Actually... Ireland did overthrow the British Empire by shooting them. And nailbombing them. There was a reason the IRA were considered terrorists. Granted, once you're done with that, it's a lot easier to prevent illegal gun imports on an island.

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Hilarious that the IRA is nothing but a bunch of terrorists, while George Washington (who snuck across the Delaware River on Christmas night and slaughtered British troops in their sleep) is considered a hero of freedom.

[–]noodleworm [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

Wow, that displayed a lot of ignorance about Irish history, and the whole 1916 Easter rising. There were guns. sigh

Also I have dual citizenship with the UK, so its kind of insulting...

I don't know if you realise that to others this really comes across as a kind of crazy paranoid, xenophobic, us vs them attitude. a lot of the world functions just fine.

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

What comes across as crazy?? That the right to keep and bear arms was specifically written into the Bill of Rights because our Founding Fathers used firearms to kill their own governments soldier's to gain their freedom??

Well, boo-hoo, I'm sorry I offended your precious feelings with my historical facts. A lot of the world doesn't function just fine. Governments turn on their people. Just a few years ago Venezuela banned gun ownership:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-18288430

And now they've legalized shooting anyone who protests their corrupt government:

http://panampost.com/sabrina-martin/2015/01/29/venezuelan-army-can-shoot-protesters-effective-immediately/

And governments DO fail all the time. Even the Roman Empire eventually collapsed. It is my duty to ensure that my family is safeguarded at all times. Leaving that responsibility to someone else is lazy and foolish.

Hell, even though I can easily dismantle 99% of the population

i seriously doubt that

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (2子コメント)

Why do you doubt that? I'm 6'2", 235lbs. I teach and train Judo, Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 5x a week. I am a black belt in Judo under Japanese Olympian Hachiro Oishi and am a Judo Bronze Nationalist. I am a brown belt under UFC legend Royce Gracie in BJJ and testing for my black belt in December. I am also a professorial cage fighter with a current record of 3-1.

Why is it you think I am not better prepared for combat that 99% of the population? What am I not doing?

because it's ridiculous. you're claiming that you could "easily" go undefeated against 6,930,000,000 opponents

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

How is the other 99% better prepared than I am?? I fight an average of five different people every night, 5 times a week. That's 25 fights a week, 100 fights a month, 1,200 fights a year over the last 20 years.

Who else outside of other trained fighters (which comprise far, FAR less than 1% of the population) is better prepared for combat that I am?

99% doesn't just include other combat capable males ages 18-40. 99% includes ALL Americans of both genders and all ages. I'm am absolutely and without any doubt more combat capable that 99% of the American population.

I think you're looking at the most extreme end, I think most people understand one should be able to defend oneself, but it's troubling that going all "Rambo" is the big solution some people have.

on a different note, as a female that goes to an mma gym, a lot of people think I go to learn self defense. It's not that at all, I've already got that covered. It's just fun :D

[–]Kung_Fu_Cowboy 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

How is responsibly carrying a firearm, "going Rambo"?? I have no more desire to shoot anyone than you desire to get shot. That said, should I be forced to defend myself or my loved ones, I'm glad I have the ability to protect them.
