Yesterday, one of the most prolific and hilarious people on Twitter, Ace of Spades, went off on Senator Hudak’s comments that women shouldn’t be able to carry a concealed weapon on campus, because a big man rapist would just steal it from them and shoot them.
If you aren’t following @AceofSpadesHQ, correct that mistake right now. No one rants like Ace.
.@senhudak do you believe the 210,000 women who fend off sexual assaults each year with a gun should just take one for your team?

.@senhudak are you claiming that an unarmed rapist, who must attack HTH, has the advantage vs. a capable woman with a ranged weapon?

.@senhudak do you understand how you sound?Not just stupid, but willfully stupid; the stupidity of the rabid cleric trained to chant dogma

.@senhudak without using google, what would you guess the chief advantage of a ranged weapon is?
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 6, 2013
.@senhudak again, without google, what do you think the advantage of a non-strength-using weapon would be for people of lower strength?

.@senhudak please also refrain from looking the answer up in GURPS Book 2: Combat and Campaigns.

.@senhudak do you believe Ms. Collins’ rapist was so focused on HER in particular he would have braved a bullet in the face to rape her?

.@senhudak do you believe rapists and muggers are that victim-specific? Or do your statistics tell you they are more opportunistic?

.@senhudak do you think female police officers should be disarmed, given that a stronger male attacker will just take their guns from them?
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 6, 2013
.@senhudak will you join me in calling for the disarmament of female police officers, so that perps can’t take their guns and harm them?

.@senhudak if a Taekwondo trained woman citizen STILL isn’t capable of carrying a gun, then neither are female police officers.

.@comradearthur @senhudak What about our own female fighter pilots?how do we know rapists won’t just take their fighters from them?
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 6, 2013
.@senhudak can you conceive of any women not employed by the state who are capable of safely handling a weapon?
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 6, 2013
I know that even some minors can handle weapons better than most law enforcement. Women by no stretch are fully capable of handling firearms and other self defense weapons. Try getting between a woman and her child and see who is fierce and who isn't. The statement that women can't handle self defense or military infantry is idiotic. It is the men that would have the problem.
