This argument seems to be about reducing rate rates and not rape culture, unless you really want to look at the situation in a larger scale - which seems fairly pointless in this case, I think. Anyway, regarding rape rates, guns can probably help a bit, but as far as I know, most rapes happen in situations where either using or maybe even carrying a gun would probably be too hard to have much of an effect. Regarding this 'rape culture' (which I'm fairly convinced to be either a really bad name for a real issue or something that doesn't really exist, unless the situation is radically different in other western countries), I doubt guns could really have much effect on it.

Well, judging by this definition: "A society or environment whose prevailing social attitudes have the effect of normalizing or trivializing sexual assault and abuse." And considering the thread from yesterday, I'd say that yes it does. |
Judging by that definition, I'd say it doesn't exist in my country. Well, there's always small vocal minorities, but calling anything a 'culture' because of them sounds more than a bit wrong to me. Of course I could be wrong, but I would imagine that I would have at least some idea about what this 'rape culture' really is about if it really was much of a thing here.
