Amanda Collins is a brave woman. She is also a victim of "gun safety" regulations.

 

Amanda was raped at gunpoint on a college campus in Nevada. Though she had a permit to carry a gun, she was not allowed to bring it on campus because the campus was designated a "safe zone." Amanda knew martial arts, but her attacker was so much larger than she was, she didn't have much of a chance.

 

Amanda testified before legislative hearings on gun control in Colorado this past week about her experience. She says that if she had been allowed to carry her gun on campus, she is almost positive she would have been able at some point in the attack to have effectively defended herself. In the process, she would have prevented the rapes of two more women and the murder of a third by this man.

 

But state congresswoman Evie Hudak disagreed. "Chances are that if you would have had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you,” she lectured.

Amanda's response was brilliant in its simplicity and logic: "He didn't need my gun. He already had one."
