So while a rape is happening and the victim has probably been hit or someway subdued, while the rapist is on and in them, that victim should be able to reach for and ready their gun and shoot the rapist?
How exactly does that work?
Pretty sure the victim would appreciate someone coming to their defense, armed or otherwise.
You are arguing against guns just for the sake of arguing.
My point was there is no contradiction between being morally okay with a rapist being shot in self-defense or in the defense of others but still having an issue (perhaps not self-defense related) to people walking around armed.
Hope that clears things up
