Roseanne Barr’s Surprising Pro-Gun Solution to Preventing Rape

Roseanne Barrs Surprising Pro Gun Solution to Preventing Rape

The way to prevent rape around the world is to arm women and train them to “make clean head shots,” according to provocative actress and comedian Roseanne Barr.

In a surprising series of pro-gun tweets, the former Green Party presidential candidate argued that “until women use force to fight force, force will win against them.”

Barr attempted to appeal to her nearly 198,000 followers’ common sense, asking “if pervs thought they would be immediately shot for even touching a kid or anyone else-they might become aware of reality more quickly.”

Take a look (Warning: Some strong language):

Barr’s tweets were both welcomed and criticized by Twitter users.

Her comments come after Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar argued that women don’t need guns on college campuses because there are “call boxes,” “safe zones” and “whistles.” He also argued that just because a woman “feels like she’s gonna be raped” that doesn’t mean she actually is in danger.

“You just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at,” he said.

    Men, here’s a good example of the hypocrisy of women. While Rose Ann shoots her mouth off about head shots for male pervs, female pervs get away scott free in Fresno under female major Ashley Swearingen.

    A former Washington Union High School teacher was sentenced Friday to three years of probation and 30 days in an adult offender work program for having sex with a student in early 2010.

    Nadia Diaz, 27, had sex with a 15 year old male student.

    The judge did not require her to register as a sex offender for life.

    Prosecutor Midori Howo objected to the sentence, saying Diaz deserved time behind bars for violating a position of trust.
    In addition, the victim told Peterson he was to blame for Diaz’s misdeed. He said he pursued Diaz and convinced her to have sex with him. (THEY BLAME A 15 YEAR OLD MALE CHILD!)

    Nadia Christine Diaz, a former Washington Union High School substitute teacher found guilty of felony sex with a minor.

    Diaz was 24 when she had sex with the 15-year-old boy in early 2010. At the time, she worked as a substitute teacher and the boy was a sophomore at the Easton school, but not in her classroom.

      Never mistake this: She is the face of liberal-progressive tyranny.

      It is exactly this type of unilateral, arbitrary, conflicting actions (with previous behaviors, statements or philosophies) like this, that have no logic that define people like her, that will lead to tyranny of the worst sort.

      Their whims are based upon selfishness, entitlement.

      If this hubris doesn’t stop in this society, it will lead to not only civil war, but atrocities that will go down in the history books.

      We all remember what she said about guillotines.

      It is just around the corner.

    For once Roseanne Barr makes sense. You can’t count on a cop being around the corner when you call 911. You must be able to protect yourself. A gun equalizes force if you have enough room between you and your assailant. A force bent on using force must be met with equal or exceeding force. Not always easy even for men when confronted.

    Throw on a Roseanne Barr mask and there is zero chance of being raped.

    BTW, this also works with a Moochelle mask, a Cankle’s Clinton mask, a Debbie W. Schwartz mask, or a Nancy Pelosi mask.

    It just goes to show that there are principles that all sides of the political spectrum can agree on. Those are the ones that we should focus on. I agree with Rosanne on this, and, trust me, my daughter will be packing when she is old enough.

    Dear Roseanne Barr,

    Over the years I have pretty much disagreed with everything you have ever said or written. I write this to tell you that today is the first time I can say that we truly agree on an issue.

    I would like to add that I hope you encourage women to carry not only a gun, but a gun with 10+ rounds so that in case a group of men decide to run a rape train on a woman she has the best possible chances of defending herself.

    There are over 260,000,000 guns in America and in 2010 there were 8,775 deaths caused by firearms, which means your odds of being shot to death by one of those firearms is 0.00375%. There are about 4 million gays in America and in 2010 about 12,250 of them died of AIDS, which means your odds of dying from engaging in homosexual behavior are 90 times greater than from being shot. So, since homosexual behavior is much more deadly than the behavior of pulling a trigger on a gun, and since liberals are so keen on regulating behavior to save lives, if we’re going to talk about banning the behavior of pulling triggers on guns, we really need to talk about banning homosexual behavior. After all, it is all about saving lives, isn’t it?

      It would be a Michael Savage moment, because she fits the all too common theme of being a cultural changing, tradition destroying, Jewish progressive. I know that there are those who live in denial of the shear numbers, but that is to their self-righteous disgrace.
