I’ve known people who believed their partner was consenting, but were told much later that they committed rape. I knew the ppl well enough to believe they wouldn’t intentionally hurt someone and the accuser didn’t file charges. Maybe one or both, or neither partners in the two couples were lying? But in both cases the accuser + accused remained friends afterward. Should that really be in the same category as violent sexual assault?

Rape is certainly serious but it’s much easier to quantify murder – victim is dead or alive-- than how much of a rape was this rape.

Why is it losing? From a 10-second read it looks like the opposition argument is basically “it might get complicated”

…how about he autopilots himself into a lake instead

I think they could, but it’s a lot of money and effort. Also buying more than one or two might get you stopped at customs on the return flight.

In some states you can go to a gun show and buy with no paperwork, no id, no background check.
