you're saying that women should shoot men who come within an arbitrary distance and that this is justified by simply warning the person to be shot that they will be shot if they come any closer.

and you're recommending this in public places.

this sounds a lot like "Stand Your Ground" and you are not suggesting any requirement that there be an actual threat which warrants shooting a person.

the idea that you are posting that guns and shooting people in this manner as the solution to rape would seem to make you a poor fit here, in this group and on DU.
