Kopel on gun bans and genocide

Posted by David Hardy · 24 July 2006 09:02 PM

Dave Kopel has an article in America's First Freedom on international gun bans and genocide. An excerpt:

"Darfur is one of those places where the government has implemented Rebecca Peters principle that crime victims should not use arms to protect themselves. The Sudan Organisation Against Torture (a human rights group based in London) reported on March 20 about an incident which took place on March 7:

Two men “in military uniform attacked four girls from Seraif IDP [refugee] camp, Hay AlGeer, West Nyala, Southern Darfur. The girls were attacked whilst collecting firewood outside the camp at 11:30. During the attack, one of the men assaulted one of the girls and attempted to rape her. The armed man touched the girl’s breasts and attempted to forcefully remove her underwear. When she resisted, the man began to beat her. In defence she grabbed a knife that she had been using to cut the firewood and stabbed the attacker in the stomach.”

“Following the stabbing, the girls managed to escape and returned to Seraif camp where they reported the incident to police officers inside the camp. The police refused to file the case.”

One of the rapists died from a knife wound. “Following the news of the death, the officers immediately arrested the four girls inside the camp on suspicion of murder.” They face execution by hanging. The girls are: Amouna Mohamed Ahmed (age 17), Fayza Ismail Abaker (16), Houda Ismail Abdel Rahman (17), and Zahra Adam Abdella (17)."

Arrested for defending herself.
That is so wrong that it defies description.

From all I've read the last few years this could have just as easily happened in the UK, Canada, or Australia.

Some people deserve to be slowly inserted into a deepfryer or plastic shredder an inch at a time starting from the feet...like anyone who would charge these girls for defending themselves...or anyone who would support a religion that had such principles.
