You're right that being fit and strong doesn't make you bulletproof, but I don't want to own a gun because i don't want to be responsible for ending another person's life even if s/he is a thief, rapist or murderer. I don't want that on my conscience. Besides I live in the slums and see firsthand the result of violence. I've also known people who have had weapons turned on them and used against them. Also people who have bee attacked by thieves out in the town when their gun was at home so it was of no use to them. I'd rather have the confidence and skill to defend myself. You have to be strong to defend yourself against rape. It's more likely to happen away from home, and if a rapist attacks you in your home, it may be while you're sleeping and don't have access to your gun anyway. But you always carry your muscles.
