Wrong message
Binalakshmi Nepram, founder of the Control Arms Foundation of India, described the new gun as “an insult.”
“Women in India feel this gun is not going to help in security,” she said. “And we do not believe the gun is a solution to ending sexual violence.”
She added that it sent the wrong message. Rather than prioritizing security for women, “the government is introducing expensive weaponry to sit in handbags. It’s an abhorrence to women,” she said.
Translation: WHAT! You want us to be capable of defending ourselves. Why don’t you put all of the ‘potential rapists’ in jail or something like that.
I agree. These ladies would probably be better off with a .45 or 9mm pistol.
