Yeah, no.

Via Vox:

People who want students to be able to carry guns on college campuses used to argue that more guns could prevent tragedies like the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech. Now they’re making another argument: that allowing college students to carry concealed weapons could help stop sexual assault. […]

Even if you think a gun is the best way for a woman to protect herself in a dangerous situation, those aren’t the kind of incidents where pulling a gun seems like a natural response.

The argument that guns could help turn the tide on campus sexual assaults implicitly devalues sexual assaults without physical force as not part of the problem. They’re most of the problem — and they’re going to be harder than this to solve.
