If anything it'd a lot easier to go to north Africa or east Africa and get assault rifles easily (assault rifles are illegal to own here in America) than it is here. The men in Canada and Europe and Australia are built like the hulk on steroids and since they don't allow guns in those countries those men with hyper muscular bodies can easily violate a woman without much resistance.
I laugh when other westerners look at us Americans with contempt for our access to guns when Europeans, especially Sweden since they're the rape capital of Europe, could really benefit from having a pistol to defend against rapists and robbers.
