For whatever reason, the government is using this Sandy Hook shooting to press hard for gun control. So I want to know where it will end. So you take away the guns, and murderers will start killing with knives, then we take knives away. Then there will be killing with clubs, so we ban those also. Out of frustration killers begin choking victims with their bare hands. So now we have to ban hands. OK everyone, give us your hands, we don't want any more deaths due to hands.
Sounds silly I know, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. You have one lone nut, (according to the news) shooting up a school and killing children, and you have millions of gun owners that have never killed anyone with their guns, but now you want them to give them up because of a few deranged people who go on a killing spree. Sounds crazy to me.
If you ban guns, killers will buy them on the black market. When the police investigate a murder and find a weapon that was bought this way, they have no idea who owns the gun. Doesn't it make more sense to make people register their guns so when they are used in a crime we can find the owners and hold them responsible. If they didn't do it, then it had to be someone who had access to that gun. Much easier to catch them.
A gun sitting in the closet cannot murder someone. It has to be done by a human being. Therefore, the argument that guns kill people is ridiculous, people kill people with guns, but guns never go on trial for murder. They become the evidence to convict the guilty. Killers will kill no matter what. Banning guns is the last ditch effort of a country that is trying to become a dictatorship.
The founding Fathers of the United States of America knew the importance of citizens having the right to bear arms, that's why they have the second amendment. What a lot of people have forgotten is, it was the citizens forming a militia that kept this country from being taken over by other countries. If they were not allowed guns, we would not have any freedoms like we do. Freedom must be looked after constantly. If you do not believe that, go read some quotes by the founding fathers about tyranny, and keeping freedom.
That is all for now.
