Firearms are not a leading cause of death for women. Assualt of any kind isn't even a leading cause of death for any group. If you look at the CDC death statistics, assault comes in last, behind 14 other causes. More people die from Parkinson's disease than from assault.
Distinguishing between assaults performed with and without firearms makes it even more trivial.
The number one cause of death for women, and men, is heart disease. In fact, in 2005, heart disease killed 10 times as many women as breast cancer (400,000 vs. 40,000). In that same time frame, about 2000 women were killed by someone with a firearm, less than 50% of the total number of women that were murdered.
So, by your logic, I guess fast food chains better contribute to breast cancer research, since they're tied to the leading cause of death in women.
550 rapes, 1,100 murders, and 5,200 other violent crimes per day are prevented just by showing a handgun. In less than 0.9% of the time is the gun ever actually ever fired.

My wife has breast examinations and carries a firearm regularly, yet I feel she's better protected from criminals than from cancer.
What if a car manufacturer donated money for breast cancer awareness? I bet cars are involved in the deaths of many women. Oh yeah, but you don't have an irrational fear of cars.
Smith and Wesson and Julie Goloski have their hearts in the right place and you all should be ashamed of doubting them.
A woman with a firearm, trained on how to use it, has a greater chance of defending herself against a violent opponent much larger than herself. I feel much better knowing that my wife carries a firearm to defend herself against a criminal.
The Center For Disease Control is famous for using misleading statistics to get people to believe what they want them to believe. The truth is that firearms have saved many more womens lives than taken them. I applaude Julie"s efforts to raise awarenes about breast cancer and promote livesaving products such as firearms.
