This guns rights issue seems to be another big one that will
actually effect my everyday life so I'm just going to drop my opinion off in
here somewhere. But from which angle? You've got people who swear by the words
of men centuries dead that knew nothing of today's America
and then you got people
who think they can actually control others.
Both of these are a bit extreme
even for me. Personally, I want the right to protect my damn self. I don't
trust no one else to keep me safe they've done a shotty job of it so far and I
don't feel that this will be any better. So let's see.
I own and carry my own
gun around and some Jack comes around thinking he can just take what he wants
from me I can protect myself. The government's opinion of this is that I should
let this man do what he wants and they'll then track him down after the
incident and slap his hand ... if they can even find him... if they even
BELIEVE me! So tell me who do you stand with?
Another sitch. I'm at home with
my gun safely beside my bed on a night stand because I have no small children
with more curiosity then brains and another Jack beaks in to once again take
what he wants from me. The government would have me hide and call them, hoping
that Jack doesn't find/hear me then kill me. They have a high opinion that they
can get to me in plenty of time to catch Jack before he does any harm. My
opinion is to cock my shot gun within hearing range of the miscreant and loudly
let him know that it's loaded and the cops know he's there and that I WILL protect
mine! So tell me which would you prefer?
We can control our own destiny and sadly we more than not
give that control away. We're taking that control away from our children and
their children. If we let the government take our guns what's to really stop
Jack from taking everything he wants? Sure they might catch him in the end but
will that make everything all better. Will that mend your sense of security
that was taken when he broke into your homes? Will it mend the dead he left
behind? Will it bring peace to the girls/boys he's hurt? There are some sick
people out there who don't give a damn about the laws. What makes people think
they'll stop just because the government says he can't have a gun no more?
