Seventeen years ago, I was raped.
I had a gun in my purse.

The headline story over at Women Against Gun Violence (wagv.org) blog is penned by “Erika”. We’ll share the title and first two lines:
Why Guns on Campus Will Not Make Women Safer
Are you sure about this, Erika?
Or is this just another fabrication used by gun control advocates to further your agenda?
Is this like the story of Jennifer Longdon, the wheelchair-bound hate-filled woman who made a startling claim following the NRA Convention in Indianapolis in 2014?
Here’s Jennifer’s story, as told by Mother Jones, a far-left online blog:
Spitting, Stalking, Rape Threats: How Gun Extremists Target Women
As Jennifer Longdon steered her wheelchair through the Indianapolis airport on April 25, she thought the roughest part of her trip was over. Earlier that day she’d participated in an emotional press conference with the new group Everytown for Gun Safety, against the backdrop of the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting. A mom, gun owner, and Second Amendment supporter, Longdon was paralyzed in 2004 after being shot in her car by unknown assailants, and has since been a vocal advocate for comprehensive background checks and other gun reforms.
As Longdon sat waiting for her flight, a screen in the concourse showed footage of the press conference. A tall, thin man standing nearby stared at Longdon, then back at the screen. Then he walked up to Longdon and spat in her face. No one else blinked.
Longdon was shocked and embarrassed, she told me, but she didn’t falter. “Wow, aren’t you a big man,” she said as he turned and walked away. Instead of calling for security, she wheeled herself to a restroom to clean herself off. She was tired—she lives with constant physical pain—and didn’t want to miss her flight.
“Should I have done something more? Quite honestly, in the scheme of things it was a little man and a little moment,” she said. “He felt to me like a coward and a bully.”
What happened to Longdon in Indianapolis is part of a disturbing pattern. Ever since the Sandy Hook massacre, a small but vocal faction of the gun rights movement has been targeting women who speak up on the issue—whether to propose tighter regulations, educate about the dangers to children, or simply to sell guns with innovative security features. The vicious and often sexually degrading attacks have evolved far beyond online trolling, culminating in severe bullying, harassment, invasion of privacy, and physical aggression. Though vitriol flows from both sides in the gun debate, these menacing tactics have begun to alarm even some entrenched pro-gun conservatives.
The story goes on to make all sorts of while claims about the utter cruelty and rudeness of gun rights activists to this poor woman.
But wait…
A little bit of investigation by Dana Loesch and Progressives Today proved Jennifer Longdon’s Indianapolis airport story to be nothing but a complete fabrication.
A lie.
This ugly lie and her follow-on claims make her an ugly, despicable woman.
And now comes another woman, anonymously making a similar wild-eyed claim about a gun owner.
Why should we believe it? “Erika” doesn’t even offer her last name.
Erika claims her attacker had a knife in one hand and a gun in the other while he raped her in three minutes.
I tried to pull away but within a split second I was face down on the bench seat of his truck with a knife to my throat held by his right hand and his gun pressed against my left shoulder, aimed at my head.
Sure he did, bless your little heart, Erika.
It’s not adding up, dear. Did he also use his psychic powers to will your pants off with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other? Inside the confines of a pickup truck cab? And finish in three minutes?
Was this really just a consensual romp of unbridled lust with a friend that you felt guilty about when you went home to your husband? C’mon, “Erika”, you can tell us the truth.
Or was the entire thing just a figment of your imagination as you’re now trying to please someone else or become famous?
Gentle readers, if you missed this story, who can blame you. Even with news of this pathetic blog entry supposedly spreading like wildfire, their wagv.org website is ranked 7.196 million by Alexa. In English, their traffic is measured in a few hundred visitors per month (contrasted with GSL’s traffic of about 6,000 unique visitors each day).
We’re sure when the CSGV reads this story about their sister organization, they’re going to tar us as evil incarnate. Yeah, that’s pretty big talk from a group whose despicable followers and supporters called decorated American heroes like Chris Kyle the most vile and despicable names.
Their whole incestuous gun control family is struggling for relevance and fighting over grant money from Soros and friends. So it’s not surprising to see this tale posted at Women Against Gun Violence.
We urge people to read this Washington Post opinion piece titled: “Feminists want us to define these ugly sexual encounters as rape. Don’t let them. We need to stop prosecuting bad behavior as rape.”.
Here’s the money quote:
It is time to rethink this crusade, which criminalizes too much sex, thereby trivializing actual sexual violence. Anti-rape efforts should focus on criminal conduct and law enforcement responses. In college communities, young people who feel wronged in sexual situations that stem from misunderstanding, pressure, or insensitivity could be offered support without being treated as “rape survivors;” remedies might include mediation or joint counseling, clearly inappropriate in cases of sexual assault. Sexual ethics based on honesty, respect and communication can be discussed without turning every lapse into a crime.
The quest for perfect consent is profoundly utopian. Like all such quests that ignore human realities, it points the way to dystopian nightmare.
I laughed out loud when I saw that cowpie.
Great context.
The only thing missing was the smell.
Follow the money: the woman’s story is (cowpie), plain and simple.
Sam
The fact that no safety precaution is 100% isn’t a reason to deny it to others.
“The fact that no safety precaution is 100% isn’t a reason to deny it to others.”
Ah, but you’re using REASON, not emotion. That’s a Hate Crime!
I’m looking for the “thumbs-up” button, Alan.
Brightest thing I’ve read on here yet! (Including my own words of wit and wisdom!)
Even if she was raped and had a gun in her purse, just because she was a complete failure, doesn’t mean all women are equally inept and incompetent.
I’m pretty sure it’s a false allegation though. If sex happened that day, it was consensual.
PS: You call that “pretty”?
Too many details is a characteristic of liars.
—I tried to pull away but within a split second I was face down on the bench seat of his truck with a knife to my throat held by his right hand and his gun pressed against my left shoulder, aimed at my head.—-
Quoted from the article above, how then did he manage to manhandle her into the truck and get her face down with both hands full of weapons? Also, no offense, but most guys I know are not very good at multi-tasking. But this one was able to subdue her with weapons in both hands, get her clothes off and then proceed to rape her. I think not.
This bothers me on several levels. If this story is indeed fabricated or at the least has been embellished, this woman is using rape as a means of publicity. Wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels. And to use this type of story to promote more gun control, again, just wrong.
For all the women/girls out there that have been raped or brutalized, she has just diminished what really happened to them by fabricating such a story.
Wendala makes great observations.
I think Erika was pissed at her husband, and used her friend in the pickup for a quick hook-up that everyone wanted.
So, in addition to a liar, she’s an adulteress. Wow. Such role models among the lunatic left.
The gun grabbers are like the story of the little boy (or in these cases, girls) who cried wolf. If and when something bad really happens, everyone will simply ignore them because of past lies.
