So what is gun control? Restrictions, or laws implemented for the purpose of making firearm possession impossible or very difficult. I've come to realize however, when someone says that they are against guns, they really don't mean it. What they mean is they want people with guns to go and take other peoples guns. They have no problem if the police and military personnel have guns, just nobody else.
This flies in the face of being American. The founders of this country knew that power is always abused. They knew that if this country was to be unique, then the power must be in the people, not the government. Our second amendment right is important, because it guarantees that we can protect ourselves and our country from tyrants If the government has the only guns we have failed as Americans.
Every time there is a murder committed with a gun, there is an entire movement of people who think the gun is at fault. This is debunked immediately by the simple fact that if guns didn't exist, there would still be murder. It is human nature to rebel, This means lying stealing & killing will never go away. There has been murder since the beginning of time.
Before there were guns people used arrows and swords.
What the gun control movement fails to see, is that there will always be another "convenient" way for someone to commit murder.
Anywhere that people have weapons to defend themselves there will be less crime.
Criminals will always choose an easy target over an armed one. The more laws that are put in place will only effect those who obey the laws to begin with.
I can guarantee gun control was not a phrase that was familiar to George Washington or anyone of the founding fathers. Guns were crucial to the American revolution, they are ingrained in who we are as Americans. We must look to and trust that the founding fathers knew what they were talking about when they wrote the second amendment. They knew how big this country would become and they knew that given enough time, a government would come along attempting to disarm us. It is no secret that in order to control a population, the people have to be unarmed. This is what we are witnessing, a government that is slowly and methodically attempting to disarm the American public.
The idea that the American public could ever be completely disarmed, however.......is a myth.
Even the most conservative estimates say there are approximately 66 million legal gun owners in the USA. This means that the public would have to give up their guns at a rate of 3,600 guns everyday for 50 years. Ironically this would not include the illegal guns. These figures make me confident that this will never happen. -BDB (Google Images)
