I will start this off with the disclaimer that I understand everyone has there opinion on this and that is fine, This is just the way that I see things in my perspective. First off for all of those of you that are FOR gun control you should realize that our country, liberty's, and rights are defended buy responsible people with guns. Not only that but every politician that is trying to take away the right to own or limit the right to own guns are protected by people with guns. Now there have been some very tragic events happen that make you wonder if we need to make stiffer or more strict gun control laws. Well just so you know better than 3/4 of all crimes that were committed was done by someone who did not obtain the guns they used legally or could not obtain them legally, so gun laws would not have prevented them form carrying out their cowardly attacks. But wait Bryon then went in to a school and targeted children, or went into a church and shot these poor people. Well that's because in most states these are gun-free zone and it is illegal to have them on the grounds. Well look people the hard reality to this is that is why they pick these places. There is no one to stand against them or stop them. The fact is we have better than 8 million legal gun owners right now, and notice I did say LEGAL. Not all of these people own guns for the same reasons, some own them to hunt, others own them for sport, and then people own them to protect there family. Dialing 911 only takes a few seconds, but what about that gap between the call and when the police get there?? A lot can happen in a matter of minutes. This is an argument that can branch out in to so many areas that you can literally spend a week talking or debating about it. I myself have guns for two reasons, 1, to protect my family, and 2 I like to take my daughter shooting. I did have my daughter take a hunters and gun safety course before I put guns into my house. Which if our school can teach sex education , why cant they teach gun safety also?? In history there have been leaders and governments that took away the rights of their citizens to own guns, and more often then not this ended with a dictatorship that was followed by horrific events that can not be overlooked. If you need an example Hitler did this, Sudam Husian also did this. Look what they did to there people. Our forefathers put the constitution together for us. This isn't just about the second amendment its about them all. Once we allow them to take one thing away what is there to prevent them from taking everything away. The people who sat down on July 4th 1776 and signed our Deceleration Of Independence knew this. I will stop here and leave you with 2 quotes from a great man in history Thomas Jefferson. "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." and "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
peace,love, and chicken grease
