guns and to women who do not. After gatheringsome data needed, the researchers conclude thatwomen with access to guns are more violent. Storiesof abused women such as battered and cheatedon were the basis of the whole research paper.Mistreated women with access to guns tend to beviolent and may kill her perpetrator. In the otherhand, women without access to guns rather escapefrom the batterer, ask for counseling on how to dealwith the situation or to tell on to the authority, like thepolice, and have the abuser arrested.
