Stop infringing on their 2nd amendment rights and those numbers will plummet.

Hey - I agree on that point. (IOW - DON'T blame me, I am all for C & C.)

There is no better equalizer for a woman than a firearm ...

However, that being said, there is MUCH more to this 'issue' that author of this very opinionated piece attempts draw out of thein air - he's working to create a straw man for whatever stange political purpose he's got in mind ...

I apologize if it appeared that I was hitting on you in regards to the 2nd amendment. It was solely aimed at those responsible: advocates of gun control.

Approximately 1 million women are stalked each year, and 1 in 36 college women is a victim of an attempted or completed rape in each academic year.

I don't trust any of these numbers. These centers like to inflate their "incidents" to get more funding at the crowded trough!

What is the definition of a "stalking" or an "attempted" rape? Show me a number of women in divorce proceedings/custody battles and I'll show you a lot of inflated numbers of "crimes"!
