President Obama would rather disarm Americans than allow them to fight their rapists. That’s the takeaway message from a stunning exchange at Thursday night’s gun control townhall event on CNN. Kimberly Corban, a 2006 rape survivor, asked Obama why he wanted to crack down on guns when women can use guns to protect themselves from rapists:
As a survivor of rape and now a mother to two small children, you know it seems like being able to purchase a firearm of my choosing and being able to carry that where me and my family are – it seems like my basic responsibility as a parent at this point. I have been unspeakably victimized once already and I refused to let that happen again to myself or my kids. So why can’t your administration see that these restrictions that you’re putting to make it harder for me to own a gun or harder for me to take that where I need to be is actually just making my kids and I less safe?
