Use the Australian example that Australian women are 3 times more likely than their American counterparts to be the victims of rape and assault since our gun restrictions were put in place.
With more and more women choosing to live on their own and pursue careers it has become a necessity for a woman to take her personal safely into her own hands.
No, the police are not going to be there physically, in that moment, to stop a rape or a home invasion or a brutal assault from happening to her.
In a lot of cases the unarmed woman can only hope that she is left with the capacity to actually call the police and get help after an assault and not left bleeding, concussed or shot.
Or perhaps someone like the neighbors heard the ruckus and called it into the police.
