You want more gun control – use both hands

What can we do?  who should we watch? what can be done?

We have to be vigilant of who is taxing us.  We have to watch those who are trying to let people enter illegally into our country.  Don’t forget they are trying to take away our rights of free speech, a.k.a voting reform.  Beware of those who want to disarm the citizens (citizen – poor choice of words if we are disarmed, try subjects).

They call it gun control ( meanings of words change).  There is no gun control, just weapon restrictions.  Some weapons look fierce so they must go first.  Some are more powerful so they must be banned.  Then others must be given permission to own a weapon.  Let me put this in plain language — there are those who don’t want you to have the means to defend yourself from those who want to harm you.

A few simple points and you will see where I stand:

Guns do not hurt anyone.  Set that gun on the table and see if it can do any damage.  Let me remind you those who want to hurt you will use any means they have.  Remember, recently a jealous woman ran a car over her husband, do we put restrictions on cars.  Just recently in this town a person was stabbed by a kitchen knife, do we restrict kitchen utensils.  What about fire, do we control matches.  Let’s not forget box cutters, fertilizer, poisons and ball bats.  Just a few days ago they beat a man to death for helping a man who ran over a child.  None of the objects used hurt anyone it was the people who did the damage. They may have used tools to do harm, but we don’t ban tools.

A sign of a free man is the right to defend himself and the possession of the weapons to do the job.  Look at every society and tell me the one you want to live in under every condition.  Tell me did that society have the right to arms and to defend themselves?  They were free men.  Opressed people are disarmed.  Tell me who is truly free and not able to have arms.  Every ruler who wanted to control their subjects had some form of arms control.  Communism, facist, what ever name you want to put on it, if it is a repressive society they control the means the people have to defend themselves.  It is even in the Bible.  Look in 1st Samuel 13:19-22.  The Philistines wanted to control the Israelites so they would not let smiths (makers of weapons) ply their trade in the land.  You had to go see a government approved smith if you need work done. (a.k.a. weapons control)  Therefore when Saul wanted to start an army there was no weapons in the land.

There are those who are afraid of felons, rightly so.  They believe a rule, law against guns will make it safer for them.  As pointed out, the criminal who wants to harm you will use whatever they have.  Besides there is already laws against harming you.  They don’t care about that law, do you believe a weapons control law will be obeyed by them.

Consider this, there are those who have declared they want to harm and supress you, both in our nation and without.  They will use the previous group to get the laws passed to supress you, then when they have no means to defend themselves they will destroy the previous group.  It has been done before and will be done again.

Only in America have we had a government set up that gave us such freedom.  Our fore fathers have warned us that we must fight to preserve the freedoms we have.  Their words are written in history and spoken again by your fathers and grandfathers.  If we are not willing to take the stand to preserve the freedoms we had, we will, as prophesied lose them and RIGHTLY SO!

More Guns Less Crime

I started reading my NRA magazine yesterday.  Let me suggest reading ‘America’s First Freedom’, you can get it when you join or you may be able to buy it from them.  In the monthly reading is a section about how guns save innocent lifes or stop crime.  It amazes me that the news puts out so little of how a gun in a victim’s hand can put an end to the assult.

I hear that the crime rate is up in England where they have taken away most guns and made it illegal to defend ones self.  I get the feeling that criminals are afraid of victims with weapons.  They don’t like equalizers.  Even 80 year old Miss America’s with a gun can stop crime. (I did read about that one in the news.)

It would seem that if guns cut out crime, the more guns we have in good people’s hands the less crime we would have.  I have heard there are studies out there that point out the same thing.  If I was thinking about commiting a crime I would look for the most helpless, someone who could not hurt me.  I don’t advocate a lack of responsibility.  You should know what to do with it. 

Guns are not to be feared.  It is the bad people who would use anything to hurt you, that must be feared.  Don’t call me on this but I would almost wager that autos kill more than guns, yet we do not try to out law autos.  I fear the people driving them.  I use autos, they are a tool.  Guns are tools.  I fear the people who want to do me harm with a gun.

More guns, less Crime – If the rest of the world wants to leave their citizens defenseless, what can I do besides teach them better.  Let it be Only In America that we have the means to defend ourselves.  Stand up and be counted – people want your guns!
