Gun Culture = Blame-the-Victim Culture

[livingonearth]

6. My question to those who want women to use guns to stop rape is this:

If a woman has a gun and kills a potential rapist, while living in a culture where we often blame a woman for getting raped (ie. what she was wearing, did she bring it on, was she actually consenting to sex, etc.) how is that same woman supposed to now defend herself for shooting someone?

Using guns is not as easy as some people think. Real life is not like a movie, where shoot- em- ups occur and the heroes doing the shooting are never questioned.
