More women involved with guns it can only help the 2nd Amendment...

As more and more women come to realize that guns save lives...especially their own...and they become more and more interested in every aspect of the shooting sports and self defense...that can only help to protect the 2nd amendment...if they aren't afraid of guns, the best tool for anti gunners is fear, then they are less likely to be coerced into voting for politicians with an irrational fear of guns and their stupid policies...

More women are gun buyers sellers and activists

More women than ever own guns.

Nearly 79 percent of firearms retailers reported an increase in female customers between 2011 and 2012, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. From this surge in popularity come classes, specialized apparel, custom firearms, shooting-group memberships, and conferences for women.

Women have also become the sellers, lobbyists, and business owners.

Carrie Lightfoot founded the Well Armed Woman in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 2012 to be a resource for women shooters, by selling female-friendly merchandise, establishing educational chapters, and hosting certified firearms-instructor training sessions. In just two years, Lightfoot said, it has become one of the largest female gun groups in the country, boasting 350 chapter leaders in 43 states.

Lightfoot said women have always carried guns, but it wasn't until recently that they began forming their own community within the firearms industry.

More women are living alone and marrying later. Firearms are arguably another part of the equation. As Lightfoot put it, owning a gun as a self-protection tool mirrors this shift of women from "being the protected to being the protector."

"Women are taking on that role - they have to," she said. "And they're taking it on pretty fiercely."

Er...

So we're talkin' women's safety huh?

The average rape rate for the US is 26.9 per 100,000 in 2012

So I'd be expecting a lower rape rate in states which have more guns or more liberal gun laws, right?

Alaska 79.7, that is 2.9 times higher than the national average. Does this mean the women of Alaska are safe with their guns? Or does it mean the men of Alaska are more powerful with their guns?

Texas has 29.6 0.3 below the national average.
Oklahoma 41.6, way above national average.


New York on the other hand is at 3.5, way below national average.
Massachusetts is 24.7, a little below national average.

You will find states with very liberal gun laws with lower than average, you will probably find some without liberal gun laws with higher, take DC for an example. Local factors play a part.
But what the stats appear to point to is that more guns do not equate to more woman safety. One woman with a gun against five guys with a gun probably stands as much a chance as one woman without a gun.
