Gayle said every woman would be safer with an Assault Weapon and/or a gun with a clip of 20 or 30 while caring for her babies. People have looked at the records on gun violence and the facts say that the woman often is worse off when there is a gun involved.
A bit from the article:
But Trotter is wrong about women and guns, dangerously so. Far from
making women safer, the presence of firearms in situations of domestic
violence (which occur far more frequently than any other crime in the
United States, Trotter’s “stranger danger” scenarios be damned)
dramatically increases the likelihood a woman will be killed by her
abuser. As Amanda Marcotte reported
for Slate, the Violence Policy Center conducted research to quantify
this point and found that 83 women were killed by an intimate partner
for every woman who used a gun in self-defense.
