Guns in America. What Do You Think?

I have a 1911-A1 .45 Gov’t Model Handgun. I am law-abiding and would use it to protect anyone I love or care about. I keep it by my side because in today’s uncertain world you can never predict unforeseen violence.

If I lived in France, or Germany or some other country I would NOT have this right.

When our four fathers penned the Constitution of America, they believed that you have the RIGHT to defend your way of life. They believed that YOU should not be deprived of liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.

Please read this excerpt from an article about Gun Facts I was reading earlier today.

“Twice as many children are killed playing football in school than are murdered by guns. That’s right. Despite what media coverage might seem to indicate, there are MORE deaths related to high school football than guns. In a recent three year period, twice as many football players died from hits to the head, heat stroke, etc. (45), as compared with student’s who were murdered by firearms (22) during the same time period.

More guns, LESS CRIME. In the decade of the 1990’s, the number of guns in this country increased by roughly 40 million-even while the murder rate decreased by almost 40%. 7 accidental gun deaths in the home decreased by almost 40% as well.

If I was gunned down in cold blood, I would want my family to focus on the murderer. Please do me a favor and DON’T blame the gun. The reason is that the actual killer is NOT a registered law-abiding gun owner. The more time you waste trying to bring the “gun” to justice, the more likely you’re taking focus off who killed me. For example, if I was stabbed to death, why try to make knives illegal? Or what if I was suffocated with a rope? Would you try to ban ropes? You see, it makes NO SENSE!!!

If people continue to allow individuals in our Government to take away our rights, they will. What will follow then? No knives, no pepper spray, or stun guns?

Simply put, if we do not stand up for ourselves, who will?

Certainly not “invisible forces.” Let me repeat: If you want to keep this right to bear arms, you MUST speak out to others how you feel. It is no longer acceptable to keep your voice to a whisper.

I’m not saying you have to involve yourself in politics. You can simply get involved by sharing your thoughts with like-minded individuals.

AMENDMENT 2

(RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO OWN ARMS)

A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed
