Reply #51: Neither are women magically safe from partners who don't have guns.

[TPaine7]

As a general rule, if a man lives with a woman he can kill her. (If a woman lives with a man she can kill him too--though she may have to wait until he is asleep or exercise cleverness.)

It is true that far fewer women kill their partners, but the state cannot use statistics to justify gender descrimination. Nor can it use them to ban guns.

A tiny minority of men are murderers.
