Lib logic…
Via Breitbart.
On July 13 NY Mag suggested the NRA’s promotion of armed self-defense for women actually endangers women.
They suggest that more women will die during an attack if women possess firearms. This paradigm is the result of a long-held leftist theory that men will simply take the woman’s gun and use it against her.
NY Mag points to “research” by the American Journal of Public Health, which says:
When an abusive partner has access to a gun, even if the gun belongs to their victim, the situation is more likely to turn deadly: “The presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increases the risk of homicide for women by 500 percent,” and, “more than half of women murdered with guns are killed by family members or intimate partners.”
The context of the quote is unknown, but even if it is being used in the right context–and even if claims contained in it can be substantiated–the entire point stands or falls on an attacker having “access” to the woman’s gun. Are we to believe that women are going to give such access to attackers? Or are we supposed to think women really have no choice–that they are too weak to have guns?….

As a single woman living in the city and an NRA member, I own 2 firearms and know how to use them. Does that make me twice as weak??? Yeah…..no.
