 If I had a gun I probably wouldn't have enough time to get it out and 
 if the man was strong enough to rape me then he'd easily get my gun 
 and I'd end up killed instead of raped and alive. 
  
 One of the things that have kept down spousal violence with guns is 
 the registering of rifles and shotguns which were the weapons of 
 choice in domestic violence. 
  
 Education is the best thing to lower the incidences of rape.
