One of the best ways to reduce violent crimes (like rape) is to support a well trained and lawfully armed populace. Add concealed carry and now you have a populace that is unaware as to who among them is well trained and well armed. In every instance, this reduces the likelihood of violent crimes, of which rape is one.
So before we get too deep into a national discussion on how the compassionate left cares more about the issue of rape (than Republicans), perhaps Democrats had best be prepared to explain their party wide opposition to the second amendment and the right of private citizens to keep and bear arms, because no discussion about preventing rape can continue without that.
Without a lawfully armed populace, rape is something we record not prevent. But then, isn’t creating victims what the Democrat Party is all about?
