ARIZONA STATE SEN. LUPE CONTRERAS (DEM.) SAYS VICTIMIZED WOMAN SHOULD STAY AT HOME RATHER THAN CARRY

Imagine you’ve been the victim of some kind of horrific assault. For far too many people, that’s not difficult because they already have been. Many of those people eventually become gun owners and even Second Amendment activists.
For one Arizona activist, though, speaking before a state senate committee elicited the kind of response no one should be subjected to.

Lauren Snyder, whose voice quivered as she recounted the horrors of the assaults she’s endured (you can see her full testimony here, beginning around 1:17 and finishing up around 1:22), wasn’t just ignored but was insulted and denigrated by State Sen. Lupe Contreras, whose advice was that if you’re afraid, you should stay at home behind locked doors.
