Hello There,
Some say that we should ban ownership of guns and that guns kill people and if
people didn't/couldn't own them that we would have a safer society. The end
result of that thinking is that the criminally minded and the police would be
the only ones to posses guns. I would think that many law-abiding people would
still want to protect themselves. We need to recognize that criminal minded
people are doing bad things with these guns. It's not the law-abiding
citizens, it's not the person who uses guns as a hobby.
Some say that for the defense of the home, we have police departments. To that
I say that police generally get involved after the fact. When was the last time
the police arrived to prevent or to protect and defend a home and the people
within?
We should never for an instant forget, that the one and only reason anybody
has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker and unable to resist the
will of others, so they can do unto you what they choose that you wouldn't
allow them to do if you were able to defend yourself. This goes for burglars,
muggers, and other criminals, and more so for bureaucrats, and politicians.
Banning guns for responsible gun owners will do little to prevent criminally
minded individuals from carrying out violent acts. I am a believer that guns
by themselves do not kill or shoot anyone. It takes a person to do the shooting
and killing.
