In the wake of President Obama’s call for more gun control, more background checks, and threats that he is not done with trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens, it is clear that the public vociferously disagrees with him. That is easily seen by the large uptick in gun purchases, fueled by the fear of confiscation by the administration, and by the terrorist incidents that people have seen recently both in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition, there are numerous examples of ordinary citizens having guns in their homes for self protection that led to a more preferred outcome when the need arose. Home invasions have been thwarted by well-trained moms or even kids who were able to defend themselves when a call to the police would have been far to late to do anything but mark a crime scene. And that does not begin to count the thousands or tens of thousands of times that simply brandishing a weapon scared the perpetrator away.
It now seems that even police officers are beginning to get the idea that an armed citizenry can be very important in the battle against crime.
More guns, more safety, page 2:
Nothing wrong with a loaded hand gun or shot gun. Oh ya.
I agree…the government has given criminals free rein….why should we allow ourselves to be sitting ducks for some fool with a gun or any weapon for that matter….
Totally agree! Only fair that we have guns legally to protect ourselves from those who have guns illegally!
Killing Someone Is The Very Last Thing In This World I Want To Do,
I Also Don’t Want To Be A Victim Of A Criminal With Harmful Intent,
I’m Not Quick To Pull A Trigger , But,
Make No Mistake,
I Will Pull That Trigger If You Break Into My House.
Arm yourselves. This may get worse. Craziness. Freeloaders are mad because the free ride is over.
Obama should be impeached.
Well said
what–gun shots are quite
This grandma is carrying.
Back the cops they back us.
