there is also the realization for women that the gun is a final argument for when someone is trying to make you do something you do not want to do. When they are trying to make you let them rape you, rob you, kill you, there is a tool which says, “Not this time, not me, not mine, I win, you lose.” It’s a powerful argument, and men with their greater physical strength don’t really have to come to terms with. But for women, a gun truly is an equalizer. – Mike
