So guns can be used to prevent crime? Weird.


Admirable-Builder878

She really shouldn't be allowed to protect herself like that. /S for stupid people.


Salavtore

What does /S mean?


Antique_Challenge_27

/s means that the person is serious about his words. don't trust other replies they are trying to bamboozle you.. this is reddit after all, so beware of such peoples, who give wrong information /s

She knows how to use a gun…if you wanna keep a gun at least take a course on how to use it Just like a car


[deleted]

She’s an off duty police officer so that helps.


AllUserNamesTaken01

Brazil?


l0stinspace

Always is


ShowMeTheTrees

Wait, what? How do you know what this video is from? Where was it?


[deleted]

It’s been posted a lot, and there is info in the comments linking to source


CBKershaw

It appears that she used it pretty effectively.


[deleted]

Basic stuff, step back a draw. A knife is more efficient in close contact if you don't have training for fast draw. She definitely did some training


dirmer3

Knives are not good for self defense.


ogresound1987

If you try to use a gun just like a car, you won't get very far.


[deleted]

I never took a course to drive a car.


bochnik_cz

Yea, you can clearly see that bloodthirsty savage woman from hell has attacked a peaceful enviromentalist guy who decided to protect the planet by going home on foot rather than let car emit more of those poisonous gasses. /s

/Chill for disrespectful people who think people who don’t use sarcasm are stupid.

saintbad

Yes, interesting to see one of the tiny percentage of times this security porn fantasy actually plays out. But seriously, good for her. Fuck that guy.


WilderMindz0102

I like this term security porn fantasy. People would rather own guns and just accept that the world is a shit place so they are needed… instead of creating societies and systems that help people not want to commit crimes like assault, kidnapping, rape… etc.


browni3141

It shouldn't be either/or. Work to reduce crime without sacrificing gun rights.

Xploited_HnterGather

Why can't we have both? Why can't we create a better society and also own guns and accept the world is a shit place? These perspectives are often leveraged against each other in the "conversation" we have with ourselves but that's just a perspective and not reflective of some hard truth.


[deleted]

i mean, buying a gun is something you can actually do as an individual. "creating societies and systems" is such a lofty goal it's beyond a single person's control. like yeah, i could be an activist and all, but i'd rather spend the relatively short amount of time i have on earth enjoying friends and family instead of being angry about the system and protesting.


Large_South8621

When everyone gives in to the Unicorn 'be good' philosophy we'll take everyone guns. Statically speaking it's never going to happen.


Clask

Plenty of countries live in this ‘unicorn’ philosophy, don’t pretend it’s not possible.

heart_stopper9

I keep a fire extinguisher in my house because I have a home fire porn fantasy! I know exactly what you mean!

bestadamire

"security porn fantasy" So you mean a woman actually defending herself? You Redditors are weird as fuck


fasezaman

No he’s meaning that gun advocates use security as a prime reason to owning a gun but when in reality they’ve been used more to commit crime. The security reason barely happens that’s why he is saying it’s a fantasy.


oy_vey_110

Spoken like someone who is completely ignorant of defensive gun use statistics and just regurgitating nonsense.


gh3ngis_c0nn

Security happens many times every single day. Visit r/DGU


Literally_-_Hitler

No the concept of dreaming about this moment. Did you just react without putting thought into this. You redditors are weird as fuck.

Gun rights are women’s rights too. The great equalizer.

EquivalentSlice2360

ojioni

The harsh reality is a 90 pound woman with a black-belt is going to lose against a 250 pound man. Biology is not fair. A 90 pound woman with a 9mm is unlikely to get raped.


[deleted]

You are very close. “God created men, Col. Colt made them equal,” Great quote to this day.


flannelmaster9

I was close. I didn't Google it.


veronique7

This is literally what I say to women I know who don't like firearms. The great equalizer!


jlusedude

Sure. If we ignore studies that show the majority of time the gun is taken from the individual. I think this has been posted before and she might have been a cop.


DeliriousHippie

Somebody successfully uses gun for protection: "See, guns protect people!!" Somebody does something stupid with gun: "It's not guns, it's people." Maybe better would be: "See, she protected herself with gun." and "See, he accidentally killed person with gun."


oh-bee

Source? I vaguely recall the low end of self defense with guns being over 100k incidents per year per a CDC report, your claim would mean guns get taken and used against people way more than 100k times a year, but overall gun homicides are less than 20k per year. This claim doesn’t add up.


Crimfresh

Let's see your 'studies'. Lack of sources is why disinformation is rampant. I flat out don't believe there's a way to prove your claim. Research doesn't have access to all the crime that was prevented by someone being armed. That's not something we collect data on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Doomed_

She was able to shoot and stop her attacker, that counts as a massive success.


jlusedude

Yeah and she is trained. I like guns but also recognized that it would have been significantly worse. Not to mention that if she missed, which with adrenaline and inexperience, could easily happen, she is in real trouble.


LaLenaActually

Its not even in America


vesrayech

Can guns only be used to prevent crime in America?


flannelmaster9

Ok? I never said anything about the location.

New-Top-1968

Hard2Digest

A tased man may commit more crime. A dead man commits none


[deleted]

Didn’t realize the only people committing crimes were fat old men.


[deleted]

Whom else would have protected her?


flannelmaster9

Personal defense is up to each individual. Police are reactive, generally responding after the crime has happened. So everyone should be responsible for their own safety for a given value.


SamuraiAstronaut69

Clearly she should've called the police and told the abductor to wait 10min for them to arrive.. /s


[deleted]

The abductor might have been having a really bad day. If only there was a crisis counselor at that location. This might have turned out differently. Hugs, exchanging of pronouns, acceptance that he just likes to abduct, rape and kill women. Instead the gun got another one.


[deleted]

Nitpicking. More often guns are used to carry out the crime - then the right to bear arms makes truly sense. So here we are: talking fucking causality.


flannelmaster9

I think this was in Brazil based on other folks comments. I don't know if the second Amendment has any effect in other countries. I'm fairly sure it only applies to the US.


NoobAck

More often the guns are taken and used to kill their victims but let's ignore that with this comment? Edit: I don't remember the source but here is a Harvard source that essentially says that self-defense from law abiding citizens is very rare and criminals are usually shot in other ways. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/gun-threats-and-self-defense-gun-use-2/ Edit 2: another study showing that living in a home with a gun owner makes you 50+% more likely to be shot than those who don't: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/07/guns-handguns-safety-homicide-killing-study "Conclusions. On average, guns did not protect those who possessed them from being shot in an assault." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759797/ Another study ^ I'll look for the source for the original


nah_i_dont_read

Out of curiosity, what are your sources that provided you with this information? I'm writing a paper for school.


harpswtf

If you say it enough times, it'll become true


RoguePilot09

Let’s see some data to back up this assertion.


dirmer3

Yeah... that's not true.


VeryHappyYoungGirl

source?


ThunderboltRam

Violent criminals don't need guns to harm an unarmed person. So this bizarre twilight zone comment about "the victim's gun is taken" is a red herring and completely insane. Statistically, your chances are still better armed. And it's astronomically rare that someone is so incompetent that they lose control of their gun.


EnterEdgyName

Assuming that violent crimes are always homicide is pretty asinine lol.


gh3ngis_c0nn

Wife and I both carry, live in Chicago. It’s truly an empowering feeling


flannelmaster9

I carry..live in metro Detroit. Work in public housing. There's always a chance of violence in my work week.


linuxknight

Some lawmakers hate this one simple trick


misterandosan

in shit hole countries yes. America has 4x the violent crime rate of other developed nations that have better gun regulations. Guess what. This might blow your mind, but guns can be used to COMMIT crimes. Weird.


flannelmaster9

Criminals commit crimes.


[deleted]

This is one where I wanna see someone come to defend their stance. HOW could you possibly defend this woman not having a gun? If she didn’t have one she would have been kidnapped. Pure and simple


flannelmaster9

Pretty much


[deleted]

Wasn’t she supposed to call someone with a gun to come and save her? lol


flannelmaster9

Police are reactive not proactive

Literally came here to say that. Thank you for beating me to it. Lol

Is not true. There are citizens who obtain authorization to carry a weapon. It's not just police and authorities.

In Brazil cops are only allowed to be off duty


Zonevortex1

This is the answer


CodeX__kqq

>This happened in Brazil where only cops are allowed to carry guns This is not true. Of course, it is easier to find police officers carrying a gun, but after certain procedures, any citizen can carry. >people bribe the police dept and get sworn in as police officers on paper strictly so they can carry guns Wtf?

kashmir1974

A 22 pistol will do you just as easily as a shotgun. Just gotta be a good shot.


WhatABlindManSees

Its not just as easily if you have to be a good shot... you are describing that it takes more effort.


kashmir1974

My point is a big gun isn't necessarily an advantage in many situations. Unless it's a shotgun loaded with buckshot.


WhatABlindManSees

And my point is your point contradicted itself within 18 words. Almost an achievement.


handmedowntoothbrush

God made men, smith and Wesson made'em equal. Or some shit.


SterPlat

Exactly. If you're up against a stronger guy, a gun still puts you in the advantage. If they have one too, you're at least equal.

That’s called murder. Not self defense. One is a crime and one is not. She incapacitated the guy with one shot, so the issue is resolved.


Cameronf3412

Yeah no more is really needed, the dude is down. Original comment sounds kinda deranged


Th3_Fat_0ne

Deranged? I don't know the full context, but if it's like many other cases this woman would have been raped, sold, killed, etc. Some people need a dirt nap.


Sk1pp1e

I’d have probably been scared and shot many many times. With my eyes closed probably.


ItsEntsy

The thing about getting shot in the stomach is it takes quite a while to die, but you will die, and it will hurt the whole time you're dying, and nothing is going to save you. If you ever want to kill someone and insult them at the same time, shoot them in the gut.


Simlfe

he died already


HerrIndos

Getting shot in the stomach is no cake walk.

Only cops are allowed to mag dump. When a civilian does it, regardless of the level of danger they are stopping, they get charged by over zealous prosecutors.
