Colorado Dem to Rape Survivor: A Gun Wouldn’t Have Helped You Against Rapist Because ‘Statistics Are Not on Your Side’

Mar. 5, 2013 4:29am Jason Howerton

Rape survivor Amanda Collins bravely spoke about her horrific attack during a Monday legislative hearing concerning Colorado’s proposed ban on concealed firearms on college campuses. She explained how she wished she would’ve had a firearm to defend herself from her rapist, which could have possibly prevented the attack from occurring.

After calling her story “unsettling,” Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak quickly went after Collins, saying “actually, statistics are not on your side, even if you had a gun.”

“You said that you were a martial arts student, I mean person, experienced in Tae Kwon Do, and yet because this individual was so large, was able to overcome you even with your skills, and chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you,” she added.

Hudak claimed that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them.

“Respectfully senator, you weren’t there,” Collins said before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. “Had I been carrying concealed, he wouldn’t have known I had my weapon; and I was there. I know without a doubt in my mind at some point I would’ve been able to stop my attack by using my firearm.”

Republican state Sen. Ted Harvey took a shot at Democrats’ gun control efforts, telling Collins that the point of Colorado’s proposed ban on firearms on campus is to make sure people aren’t “uncomfortable.”

“How does rendering me defenseless protect you against violent crime?” Collins asked.

“What we are trying to do here tonight is not to protect ourselves from violent crime. What we are trying to do here tonight is prevent students and teachers from feeling uncomfortable by you carrying a gun to protect yourself,” Harvey said.

“Every witness that has come up here tonight, they want to feel unintimidated and feel free to debate freely on a college campus. And having you have the right to defend yourself against a violent attacker weighs more for them than for you and the right to self-defense. And for that, I apologize,” he added.

Always handy with the facts, radio host Dana Loesch provides some data on firearms and self-defense:

According to the FBI, Americans use firearms in self defense 2.1 million times annually. Cases where firearms are used criminally amount to 579,000. Seventy percent of those cases are carried out by criminal repeat offenders. Barrett and Democrats would seek to punish those protecting themselves rather than the criminals.

There is a war on women, and it’s coming from the left to turn women into victims. Note this (bold my emphasis):

In the vast majority of those self-defense cases, the citizen will only brandish the gun or fire a warning shot.

In less than 8% of those self-defense cases will the citizen even wound his attacker.

Over 1.9 million of those self-defense cases involve handguns.

As many as 500,000 of those self-defense cases occur away from home.

Almost 10% of those self-defense cases are women defending themselves against sexual assault or abuse.

Further, Loesch notes that one in four collegiate women report experiences that fit the legal definition of rape and one in five woman are raped during their college years.

“See, Amanda Collins was overpowered, disarmed, and left to be a victim. By Nevada lawmakers. Not her rapist. Just what Hudak said would happen, though not exactly,” Loesch writes.

Democrats were apparently unconvinced by Collins’ testimony and the Judiciary Committee approved the campus concealed carry ban along with six other gun control proposals. All seven gun control bills are scheduled to be debated on the Colorado Senate floor on Friday. Some of the other bills included, “assault weapons liability” (making “assault weapons” manufacturers and retailers responsible for crimes), a high-capacity magazine ban, required background check fees, gun restrictions for domestic violence offenders and universal background checks.

Colorado is the same state where lawmakers have proposed using ballpoint pens, rape whistles and safe zones as an alternative to people defending themselves with a gun. Additionally, the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs advised women to urinate and vomit on an attacker.

Just watched the video. The senators “logic” against having a gun was based on the size of the attacker. She said the man was so big he would have likely overpowered her and taken the gun. How stupid is that? That’s the justification for having a gun. I’ll guarantee one thing, If she had shot the guy he would’t have been in the mood for sex.

  Does anybody think we are not already immersed in our 2nd civil war? The physical fighting just hasn’t started yet. Our own governments, Federal, State, and Local are in full out assault against law abiding citizens of this country. They have made us out to be the enemy/terrorists/bad guys, what ever you want to call it. The DHS has stock piled billions of rounds of ammunition bought thousands of automatic personal defense weapons, while they call our semi automatic versions assault weapons. They purchased over 2000 armored vehicles to go with their drones. We are no longer free. They are coming for us whether you want to admit it or not. It’s called the Department of Homeland Security. What they purchase is for use on our soil against us. Obama is constructing his National Security Defense Force he said we needed.

  Interesting fact.
  The ammunition purchased are hollow point.
  Interesting fact because hollow points are against the Geneva Convention.
  So one has to ask where do they plan on using hollow point rounds?
  
  It sure gives the appearance that HLS is a personal army of the white house that plans on working outside of our military and against the citizens of our country.

  Note the guy in the video says they use them for serving warrants.When did that get so hostile to need mine resistant vehicles? I haven’t heard of anybody putting IED’s in their driveways.
  Sorry to say, but when the government comes to confiscate your guns, it’s going to be YOUR local police officers driving these vehicles. They will have aerial support via drones and helicopters and road blocks. Do YOUR homework early.
  Unless you form your own local group (militia) you’re not going to stand much of a chance behind your drywall and vinyl siding with your two rifles and 100 rounds of ammo and them in the armored vehicle.

  On another note “Some of the other bills included, “assault weapons liability” (making “assault weapons” manufacturers and retailers responsible for crimes)” With that logic in mind, then I should be able to sue car manufacturers when someone causes an accident, food producers because a restaurant did not prepare food correctly and I got sick, knife manufacturers because I cut my finger opening a box with a knife, and so on, this is just plain stupid. But hey that’s libs and progressives for you.

  In the words of Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit.com we need to “punch back twice as hard”. Everyone should flood this idiots email and call her office. Tell her we will support her next opponent and she should kiss her seat goodbye. Part of the problem is that the left keeps us on the defensive, its time to go on the offensive. Like these kids getting arrested for pop tart guns, we need to sue every department and individual involved. Even worms learn to avoid pain, its time for these idiots to learn too.

I also carry a Tarus Judje loaded with .410 and .45 ‘s. I suggest all women to get a Titan derringer and learn how to use it. Just load it with .410 in both chambers and up close it is as deadly as a 12 gauge.

  I’ve made the comment many times in stories when someone successfully defends themselves that liberals would much rather the victim be raped, mutilated and murdered to further their agenda than for the person to actually defend themselves and kill the attacker. Self defense doesn’t fit the narrative of collective sheep dependent on govt. Those who can help themselves to rely on govt, and govt is supposed to be our parent.
  
  My right to defend myself doesn’t depend on people having a warm fuzzy feeling about it. I don’t care if others are uncomfortable, I don’t care if other people are uneasy. My rights are MY rights, not collective rights. The collective can go F itself. People who are uncomfortable that I’m armed can go cry in a corner and tug on their nub for all I care. I carry, I will continue to carry, I will carry in places I “can’t” unless it is impossible, then I will not go there.

  Another straw man argument. Every one of these stories conveniently ignores the fact that not ALL guns would be banned if the Dems get there ay, just assault weapons. IIRC correctly, both Bush 42 and Clinton had restrictions on assault weapons, and guess what? People still had guns.

  Where has the common sense gone from our elected officials? How would they personally want to deal with an attacker? Come on, vomiting or urination could completely enrage the perp and make the attack more brutal, or even fatal. Come on Colorado elected officials, listen to the people who live here and stop with the gun control. You are ignoring the other methods of killing that are also being used and focusing only on guns. Take off the blinders! Focus on mental health, waiting periods, and other methods of keeping guns from inappropriate users. With all this gun control garbage, you are helping to create a black market.

  So what is the lesson here for rape victims…just let it happen because its going to anyway…try to enjoy it if you can. Possibly imagine its just your boyfriend having rough sex with you. The attacker will have his orgasm in you and will probably just get up and leave. You might want to thanks him so that he doesn’t think you thought he was bad at sex and cut your throat. After its over get a good nights sleep and go see the school nurse in the morning.

  This is the stupidest argument I have ever heard. “We are not here to talk about you protecting yourself; we are here so students and teachers don’t “feel” uncomfortable.” So logically, the students and teachers would “feel” better letting this girl be raped rather than be made to feel uncomfortable. If I was a woman in that states schools I would feel REALLY uncomfortable with people saying they rather you be raped and protect others FEELINGS.

  So true, even a 22 pistol would hurt like hell and could kill. Maybe the senator would prefer the girl typed out an angrily worded letter to give the attacker. Statistics may show that guns are taken from a women often and that could be because many woman don’t have it in their heart to take a life. My wife is that way so I tell her to never pick up the gun to begin with. However with proper training and a sudden survival instinct, knowing it’s either you or him, the woman can kill or at least badly wound and as the other statistics show over 2 million times a gun is used to prevent a crime. Statistics also show that concealed carry permits have enabled many to prevent crimes and the number of rapes have gone down (as far as I know) everywhere they are enacted.

  As a woman who has used a gun to prevent an attack. I can guarantee you that no one “wrestles the gun away from you”. You point a gun at someone and they will set a land speed record to get away from you. No body reaches for or runs at someone with a loaded gun. The only time I have seen a case of a woman having her gun taken from her and used against her, was this stupid woman who instead of aiming the gun at the man attacking her daughter, she tried to hit him over the head with the **** of the gun while he stabbed her daughter.

  Colorado has dramatically changed since I lived there in the 1990s. Massive numbers of Californians moved to CO to get away from the taxes in CA. Most came because their companies were fleeing the taxes and they moved there too. They brought their stupid Liberal Suicide Pact mentality to what had been a pretty conservative state outside of Patsy Shroeder’s old congressional district in the Denver/Boulder area. Now the Libs have taken over the state. So, CO is gone folks. Every state that people escape too from CA or WA or MA or NY will become infected with the virus of Liberalism. Americans in every other state need to be vigilant about this infection. Make sure your nominating conventions, etc. pay attention to where people came from originally. It makes a major difference in their politics. Not mentioned in this story was the Republican rep telling this young woman that the purpose of the meeting was not about protecting her from rapists, but reducing the uncomfortable feelings of students and teachers caused by her being armed to defend herself. Where did that stupid mentality come from?

  Amanda Collins is indeed a brave person. I find, from the comments and questions by the state senator Evie Collins, that she is both ignorant and a liar. One in four women, under the age of 18 in America, has suffered sexual abuse. Some pervert, monster, for whom there is no cure, in a violent way has harmed these women in both heart and soul. I can only imagine the pain that Amanda Collins has gone through and to relive it with the ignorant remarks of of this elected senator borders on insanity. A 45, with it’s stopping power, would have blown him backwards. A second shot…who knows. The statistics Hudak claimed “that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them,” is completely unbelievable. Either she is a liar, ignorant, or a moron or all of the above. Too many women, of all ages, are violently attacked in great numbers daily. In my opinion one is too much.These creatures, like the pedophiles, get a short vacation in jail and are soon back on the streets of America only to repeat in most always a more violent manner; eventually to death, (murder). The numbers grow annually. Any and all means of protection should be allowed, without question. Sadly, it takes this evil act to “hit home” before most people become proactive. One group whose good work I have followed in their help with abused children is Focus Adolescent Services. In the least we the people can support their work or another who aids the innocent.

  Rape is not a sex crime, it is the only crime which fits the description of a “hate crime”> it’s a show of POWER, thus, to retaliate in a non-lethal & non-debilitating manner as Univ. of Colorado-Springs suggested.(Piss & vomit???) will only enrage the attacker, with the victim still just as helpless.
  Those stats change dramatically when women are given safety classes & target practice with her weapon. If someone were to accost my 70 yr. old mom, my wife, sister, nieces….the women in my family are all comfortable w/ their own firearms, & with a variety of others as well.

  It was stated ‘The statistics aren’t on your side’, but 83 women killed by firearm for every 1 that successfully defends herself? Sounds like there ought to be 82 more guns sold (to women) for every 1 that already has one! I doubt the statistic as valid! It may be ‘numerically’ correct, but it is probably ‘logically’ irrelevant!

  Since the ban on concealed carry doesn’t affect pepper spray, mace, or stunguns, the victim could have been wishing she’d been prepared with THOSE; but instead she wished for a gun she didn’t have EITHER.
  
  I don’t suppose most of the gun nuts commenting on this can spot a set-up… they just want to rant about their imaginary “gun confiscation” apocolypse.
  
  Did you hear about the rape victim interviewed on Hannity that got slammed with ugly attacks, people saying she should be gang-raped because she didn’t agree with their pro-gun beliefs?
  
  That’s how ugly this is; freaks and bastards saying things that would get them a beating if they said it in person. All because they’ve bought into the crap about gun confiscation.
  
  If you believe the US government is coming to get your guns, you’re a drooling idiot.
  
  If you attack rape victims for saying they’re for gun control, you’re a drooling idiot without a soul.
  
  ALL this proposed legislation is about is limiting Assault Weapons. Period.

This is the mindset of the brainless gun grabbers. As far as they are concerned, no matter what, a firearm will not help protect you and should be banned. This dem is an idiot. Hopefully she will be voted out of office, but unfortunately there are a whole lot of cowards who feel the same way. I call them cowards because they are afraid to defend themselves, rely on others who they openly despise to protect them, and it offends them that there are people out there who believe that they should defend themselves. If you followed this dem’s line of thought, if someone is bigger then you then you should meekly do whatever they want, since you cannot do anything to stop them. A professional victim.

  Hold on, the democrat staffers @sendthemeteors will be telling you shortly that you are overreacting. “The democrats are not coming for your guns” it’s a “right wing lie” most people in America want gun confiscation.
  
  This is just another example of the Marxist liberal thought marching. On. There is no end to the communist misery that the democrat party will put forward.
  
  The agenda has always been:
  
  Repeal the first amendment
  
  Repeal the second amendment
  
  Repeal the fourth amendment
  
  Repeal the fifth amendment
  
  Repeal the tenth amendment
  
  Read the democrat party platform. It’s all there. The only thing missing is “long live Stalin”
  
  Worse yet thy now have a new religous leader in the Obama and outré vita parone First Lady.
  
  Not a good time to be a jew

Does anyone have the list of the yea votes on these bills? I know she was one obviously, finding it difficult to find a list, they can ignore the people right now, but election time is coming, hope they have their resumes up to date….

This mindless senator thinks she can throw out all kinds on hypothetical nonsense to justify her agenda. These left wing morons are getting their talking points from the commie in chief. This is how the progressives get their propaganda out. They speak with one voice and never vary from the talking points.

  They NEVER have their facts straight, They ALWAYS play on emotion. They ASSUME that their own opinions are shared by the majority. Truth and Facts are so offensive that whenever someone like Dana Loesh comes around and cites actual statistics contrary to their talking points they have no choice but to demonize them and make them into women hating, bible thumping racists. I used to think that the left was conscious of their hypocrisy and are OK with it as a means to whatever ends they are lock step in achieving but I’m starting to recognize that they have no idea what reality is and with nobody on their side telling the truth about anything they never will. I didn’t want to believe it because I still have friends on the left but they really are mindless sheep and truly useful idiots. Facts and stats aren’t going to help us. Their minds are closed.

Colorado also wants to make the firearms owner and the manufacture liable for any damages occured with the fire during any crime. I submit to you that if the democrats remove the collage student’s right to concell carry, that Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak faces the same liable charge of responsibility. I would hope a fathers justice is swiftly carried out. America, Have you had it with these satan possesed democrats. The same bastards will be first inline to take “:The Mark of The Beast”
F” em their lost already.

It seems they want to make rape legal. It is legal if the law is Sharia. What is going on? Has oil money completely destroyed America and the whole planet? Because the world has been depended on middle east oil – now were are importing their people and with them their INSANITY and FASCISM.

Italy’s Beppe Grillo is married to an Iranian. He is backed by Tehran – He HATES Jews and is a demagogue telling the sucker’s lies! Fascism – otherwise known as Crony Capitalism is alive and well in Italy. PEOPLE IN EUROPE are Totally POWERLESS all of Europe is run by Unelected Technocrats backed by the OIC oil shieks…………. WE CANNOT REMAIN independent without our own energy. Anyone who can get close enough to 0 and does not throw a net over him is a TRAITOR to this country.

Of course the Dems were unconvinced, as they have their agenda and they’re sticking to it. No amount of evidence nor testimony will change that.

Maybe by the time these idiots are up for re-election the good people of the USA will have woken up enough to vote for freedom loving conservative principles instead of free stuff and marxist ideology

  Evie Frudak (spelt Hudak) doesn’t need a gun. She’d use her body parts as threatening weapons of pure love which would be enough to scare any sane or insanse suiter away. She probably beckons guys, who happens along, to take advantage of her. It would appear that so far no luck. I’m sure if the smell of the cod fillets, strapped to her inner thighs, don’t kill ya, the actual experience of love with this shemale will. She reminds me of a black widow, without the red dot.

  Better idea would be to send her to a country that condones rape, where they believe it is a man’s god given right to rape a woman if he wants to. Some believe a man can’t control their sexual urges but neuter the dogs that they are and you will at least put an end to the repeat offenders.

What amazes me time and again is the staggering arrogance and complete rejection of reality. If it’s not in their head, it can’t possibly exist. It doesn’t matter that it’s sitting in front of them, or that it’s a ‘rocks fall down’ simplicity. This ought to be an indicator for insanity.

Wonder how many on campus feel safe when a cop shows up wearing a gun? Ask the L.A. Police Department? The Police wear guns for their protection Period! They only pull the weapon when they feel
threatened. They are officers of the Law, Same Law that wants to take your right away to feel protected.

Geez these people have lost their freaking minds. How in the hell can that pompous ass sit there and tell a rape victim what she could or could not have done had she been carrying on the night of her attack? This country depresses me right now, I can’t believe that idiots think this kind of treatment from our employees is acceptable.

Shorter lib dem: “Don’t you little girls go thinking you need a gun to defend yourselves. You just get that little pink whistle, stay in the safe zone, and let the liberals do the thinking for you, OK, honey? Now go make your rapist a sandwich, little lady, and don’t make him wait or else you may have to wet yourself.”

Remind us again, WHO is waging the real war on women??

Oh, the condescension! Their stupidity knows no bounds!

“Hudak claimed that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them.”

Notice that the stat doesn’t say the guns were taken away and used against them. THEY NEVER HAD ONE! Of course they were murdered, BECAUSE THEY DIDN”T HAVE ONE OF THEIR OWN YOU ARROGANT TOAD!

  She’s also twisting the statistics. She says that for every woman who killed a rapist 83 women were killed by a rapist. How many rapists were deterred by a woman simply BRANDISHING a gun? Far more than were actually killed, I’ll wager. And, how many of the murdered rape victims were armed? None? One or two? In order for her statistical assertion to be true you would have to compare the number of armed women who were murdered by a rapist to the number of rapists killed by an armed woman. I would imagine that the ratio is very different from 83 to 1. A more telling ratio would be to compare the number of armed women who were raped and murdered to the number of unarmed women raped and killed. I don’t know what those numbers are, but my gut tells me that far more unarmed women were raped and murdered than armed.

Wow. My take away is that this idiot thinks women cannot stop a rape, even with a handgun…so they shouldn’t even try?

Bad enough when we give up our freedom for the preception of security…now we must give it up without even the perception.

How long will we submit to these idiots?
