I didn't think hackernews attracted this kind of trolling, but taking this at face value: I think you're picturing dark-alley, masked man, movie-type rape against an unsuspecting adult otherwise minding their business. That's a vast minority of sexual assaults. https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics I'm generalizing, but it's usually: Relatives, acquaintances, fellow party-goers, and very often the victims are children or teenagers. "Most individuals who have experienced sexual violence report the offender was someone they knew. (CDC, 2010) Almost half (46.7%) of women who have experienced sexual violence report the offender was an acquaintance, while the other half (45.4%) report the offender was an intimate partner. (CDC, 2014)" These are not the situations in which a person would normally have a gun at hand (e.g., at home, already intimate with a partner), and saying they "should have" is basically victim blaming.
