Husbands, estranged/divorced husbands, dates, neighbors, fellow co-workers, etc. It's the people that you and wife know that are most likely to rape your wife. Think about that the next time you invite a male friend over to the house. Everytime your wife sees someone she knows, that's the time to get the gun out! While the Governement has been "chipping away" at what you perceive are your rights under the second amendment, rapes have gone down substantially. In 1973, the rate was 2.5 rapes per thousand; in 2001 it was 0.6 per thousand. A 76% drop in rape rates. Here's the full table. You want to know who kills women? 51% are killed by men they knew with 30% killed by their husbands, ex's or boyfriends.
