I don't care if you don't like guns. Arm up, learn to shoot, and protect yourselves out there. One political side has been stockpiling for decades (it's even part of their culture) while the other side is willingly disarming themselves.

Curious how that would help here?
She got arrested for being the victim. If she shoots her attacker do you think the cops wouldn't have still arrested her?
Unless you meant protect ourselves from the cops, but running gun battles with the cops isn't going to help anyone.

The presence of a firearm itself may have been enough to make them think twice. I mean, do you normally try to assault someone who's visibly carrying?
-
You can get arrested for threatening someone with a firearm too. It wouldn't have helped.
-
Get assaulted, raped, possibly killed? Or deal with the arrest and after math of having defended yourself from such. I know which one I'd choose.

I'm sorry, but I hate this argument.. because it's crock.
Attackers generally do not telegraph their intentions. They often come on suddenly and unexpectedly. I've been assaulted before and could not have defended myself even if I wanted to. I was caught too off-guard. Having a gun would not have helped me in any of those situations.
It's a "I am very badass!"-solution often from folks that have never been in that vulnerable kind of position before, because if they have, they would know that it cannot be reliably executed.

Isn't this what gun rights people say to women who then become statistically more likely to be shot by their own weapon?

The majority of people likely would have a difficult time pulling the trigger even if they did brandish a gun. Possibly more so with women.
So now you have any escalated situation with a much higher chance of death for the person holding the gun.
