In spite of a half-hearted apology for his comments on women who are in fear of being raped could indiscriminately ”pop a round at somebody,” doesn't appear to be enough to placate a lot of women.
Salazar said this in a statement after the uproar he created:
“I’m sorry if I offended anyone. That was absolutely not my intention. We were having a public policy debate on whether or not guns makes people safer on campus. I don’t believe they do. That was the point I was trying to make. If anyone thinks I’m not sensitive to the dangers women face, they’re wrong. I am a husband and father of two beautiful girls, and I’ve spent the last decade defending women’s rights as a civil rights attorney. Again, I’m deeply sorry if I offended anyone with my comments.”
Salazar was blasted by some women for these comments that led to the forced "apology":
“It’s why we have call boxes; it’s why we have safe zones; it’s why we have the whistles — because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody.”
The stupidity of Salazar is only matched by his brutish ideology, which was the source of the pathetic idea that women aren't able to tell whether or not they're being raped, which would result in them blasting away at anyone that is around them. That's an interesting take on women, to be sure.
Why he even cluelessly made these types of comments is he's so obsessed with gun control that he will attempt to distort reality and tortuously reason out why there are absolutely no reasons for people to carry guns for self-defense - even when it comes to a woman protecting herself from a potential rapist.
This is why gun control fanatics like Salazar and his ilk are so dangerous. They are completely blinded by their hatred of the right to bear arms by the citizens of the United States, which is another way of pointing to the fact that we have the foundation in America of being a free people.
