Rape Victim Bravely Tells Congress How Gun Control ‘Shattered’ Her Life

Democrats don’t seem to understand that gun control only prevents good people from protecting themselves.

In preparation for passing new gun control legislation, the Democratic-controlled House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday on “gun violence,” according to The Associated Press.

“For far too long, Republicans in Congress have offered moments of silence instead of action in the wake of gun tragedies. That era is over,” House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said.


Their proposed bill, H.R. 8, would introduce onerous, unnecessary universal background checks.

And that’s only the first gun control bill that’s coming out of the Democrat-controlled House. There are definitely more to come.



Before the bill is finalized, the House Judiciary Committee took testimonies — mostly anti-gun testimonies, but they did hear from Savannah Lindquist, a legal gun owner and rape survivor.

Lindquist’s story is tragic. She was attacked at North Philadelphia’s Temple University — a gun-free college campus, which meant she was unable to protect herself.

“I was left completely shattered,” she said.
