Gun Control in America

The second amendment is not something my Republican buddies cooked up a couple of years ago. It’s part of the Constitution. Is there anything funny about gun control? I can only think of the silly idea of taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Americans own about 310 million guns and currently sales are at an all-time high. It’s not because we have all suddenly developed a taste for deer meat, or hunting season increases demand, it’s because we want to defend ourselves. It’s a natural response for us as humans to have a desire to defend ourselves and those close to us.

The liberal media believes that just because you support the Second Amendment you must be part of some “pro-mass shooting lobby”. There’s nothing good about crazy people shooting up schools and movie theaters with weapons. The simple fact is that if more sane people were armed, the mentally ill and downright crazy, would get off a lot fewer shots.

What would you teach your wife or daughter to do if they were being attacked? Hurl a rotten tomato, maybe issue a firm warning? Should she play possum until the cops show up? Faced with an attack, I would rather my wife have a gun in her hand than a 911 operator on the phone.

I’ll bet the Secret Service protects President Obama with more than just rotten eggs. I know from personal experience that owning a firearm is an excellent crime deterrent. Many years ago I was approached by two large drunks armed with baseball bats. The very moment I introduced my inebriated friends to Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson, they decided to play with themselves instead of skinny Scott.

Here’s my advice to the folks that don’t like guns. Don’t own one, it’s as simple as that. Law enforcement does a great job, but they take time to show up. We’ve been given the right to bear arms, by the U.S. Constitution to our free State, and I will continue to protect myself and those around me. If you want to hold off the burglars and rapists in your neighborhood with a rolled up New York’s Times, be my guest.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Be blessed and well protected!
