Obama Gun Grabbing Policy to Increase Rape & Crime in America

To all women who think that Obama is sticking up for your "reproductive rights" please read:

Barack Obama is going to be the biggest gun grabbing President in our history.

He wants to:
-ban the sale of firearms or ammunition within 5 mile radius of any school or park (that's virtually everywhere)
-increase the excise tax by 500% on firearms and ammunition.

Why should you as a WOMEN, care?

Rapes are averted when women carry or use firearms for protection!

* Orlando, FL. In 1966-67, the media highly publicized a safety course which taught Orlando women how to use guns. The result: Orlando’s rape rate dropped 88% in 1967, whereas the rape rate remained constant in the rest of Florida and the nation.40

* Nationwide. In 1979, the Carter Justice Department found that of more than 32,000 attempted rapes, 32% were actually committed. But when a woman was armed with a gun or knife, only 3% of the attempted rapes were actually successful.41

According to a Justice Department study:

* 3/5 of felons polled agreed that "a criminal is not going to mess around with a victim he knows is armed with a gun."42

* 74% of felons polled agreed that "one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at home is that they fear being shot during the crime."43

* 57% of felons polled agreed that "criminals are more worried about meeting an armed victim than they are about running into the police."44

Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day.1 This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.2

* Twice as many children are killed playing football in school than are murdered by guns. That’s right. Despite what media coverage might seem to indicate, there are more deaths related to high school football than guns. In a recent three year period, twice as many football players died from hits to the head, heat stroke, etc. (45), as compared with students who were murdered by firearms (22) during that same time period.6

* More guns, less crime. In the decade of the 1990s, the number of guns in this country increased by roughly 40 million—even while the murder rate decreased by almost 40% percent.7 Accidental gun deaths in the home decreased by almost 40 percent as well.8
