Yeah - and with guns women everyone will have no hope of defend themselves
South Africa, famous for high crime rates, sees a woman shot dead by a current or former partner every 18 hours, according to statistics from the state-funded Medical Research Council.
And gun control there has worked so well...
U.S. studies have shown that having a gun in the house increases the risk that someone in the house will be murdered by 41 percent, but boosts the risk for women by 272 percent.
Lies and untruths - most of these "studies' count suicide as a death and do not count non-fatal use of gun (to defend the homeowner) AT ALL.
Some countries such as Canada and Australia have managed to bring down the murder rate of women by toughening laws on gun licensing. But the problem is growing in the developing world, where such safeguards are harder to implement.
The stats don't back this up - crime has increased in both counties since gun control was implemented.
"A gun in the hands of a free man frightens and angers the autocrat (OR THE UN), not because he fears the power of the gun, but, rather, the spirit of the man who holds it."

You're ABSOLUTELY correct on that, Banana.
If someone who owned a gun was murdered in their house by a baseball bat, they counted it.
And yet in Switzerland where there are at least as many small arms per capita as in South Africa, the domestic violence rate is far lower.
What if guns are not the common factor?
What else could it be?
"U.S. studies have shown that having a gun in the house increases the risk that someone in the house will be murdered by 41 percent, but boosts the risk for women by 272 percent."
Kellerman, a liberal proffesor, who wrote this study now refutes it.
