Sometimes women in volatile relationships feel it's necessary to buy a gun and arm themselves.
But officials at the Family Violence Prevention Center at the Wheeling YWCA said that's not necessarily a good idea.
They said women often get over-powered and their gun is used against them.
Studies show that women are one hundred times more likely to be murdered by a man with a gun than they are to successfully use a gun in self defense. |

One problem: There is no empirical evidence to back the anti-gunners' claims.
But they continue to make them anyway. |

TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
