=Guns are bad?=

__Guns and the people__
These days, all you seem to hear in the media is tweaked news and left-leaning reports saying that guns are killing people and criminals are getting away with murder on innocent people and it's all the fault of the guns. People say guns are evil and should be outlawed.

But... how can a gun kill someone? Guns? Killing people? Now, that sounds kind of stupid, huh? Makes it sound like the guns are doing all that work on their own (and if that were the case, they'd deserve A LOT more credit, being inanimate objects and magically having abilities to activate themselves...). But, that's impossible for guns to kill people on their own. You'd need something to use the guns... Ah, isn't this a difficult concept...

=__ //GUNS// DON'T KILL PEOPLE. //PEOPLE// KILL PEOPLE. __=

Yes, yes. That's definitely more clarified. So, if this is the case and guns aren't bad...why outlaw them? Because criminals use them! Oh-ho, what a simply genius statement! Oh yes, let's not let people buy guns. Fixes everything! It's simple logic! It's not like there's a Black Market full of guns which criminals could easily get. That's preposterous!

...That's reality though. There IS a black market with guns. If you take gun rights from the people with your beautiful ideas of peace and harmony it will only make it happy hour for the criminals. The criminals will know that the people are unarmed and will break into more houses with their shiny new guns bought via the Black Market. And then you have a once happy little family, sans guns, and put into harm's way. Their stuff taken, and their bodies on the floor, victims of a criminal with an illegal gun.

Oh, but the government can just take the guns off the Black Market and the whole world will be a happy little place full of joy and smiles. Yes, because we all know criminals could NEVER find other tools to do the job. (I mean really, there was no such thing as crime before guns, and even YOU should know that...) So, let's outlaw guns so that criminals can be peaceful, no? Oh, see that guy over there getting ready to attack you with that knife? Yeah, we outlawed guns, so you don't have to worry about being shot while he's slicing you up.

__Gun control makes sense...?__
Okay, so now that my little scenario of people and guns is done and written, let's get down to using some logic...

Criminals do use guns very often to pull off their crimes. And yes, guns, when put into the wrong hands are very dangerous. However, if you put laws on guns, only the law abiding citizens will follow those laws. So let's put more laws in place to protect the innocent...?

...More laws to outlaw guns...so criminals won't have guns due to a law being there...so laws will make the criminals stop having guns...?

Wait...that...doesn't add up...

CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS! //How// is this concept so //confusing// to people?? IF you add more laws on guns it changes nothing! Criminals are breaking the law in the first place! Saying guns are illegal will not stop them because they are criminals! And **criminals** commit **crimes**. Criminals don't abide the law!

It's like saying you can put out a fire by putting a bit of gasoline on it...

So yeah, go with gun control. Hey, criminals love it...

And think about this... Corrupt leaders throughout history enforced gun control within their countries... (Not unlike our government is trying now) Taking defense from the people makes it so the leaders can do whatever they want without the threat of the people revolting. When only criminals and thugs have guns, what's left? Victims and servants. These leaders are perfect examples of gun control and government corruption... Geniuses if I do say so myself. What more to a perfect plan? Take your people's defenses and do what you want as leader... Kill your own people for fun and profit! They did it. Hitler with 6 million killed. Stalin had 20 million or so killed. And Mao Tse-tung, whom many of our government's officials quote as a hero, killed around maybe 100 or so million of his own people. And what did all of these leaders have in common? THEY ENFORCED GUN CONTROL ON THEIR PEOPLE SO THAT THEY COULD IMPOSE THEIR WILL AS THEY SAW FIT.

Gun control, in the end, only gives the government more power on our lives (totalitarian-like) and the criminals more opportunities to take what they want.

Gun control ≠ criminal control

Gun control = servitude or death

__Guns and Self-Defense__
Ever hear of the "Stand-Your-Ground" law? If not, it's a law saying you don't have to run from someone invading your home or trying to hurt you. Seems pretty cool. I mean, the right to protect yourself from being killed by a madman who's breaking into your home. But there are so many people out there saying that this law is all about letting criminals shoot first and claim innocence later. People saying that the gun causes crime to increase. So they push to have the law revoked and more gun laws put in place. But that makes no sense... Why would you take the rights of the people to protect themselves? Does it make sense that if a person comes into your home and threatens to kill you that you have to retreat? Saying "Oh they can call the cops~" is illogical. If a man has a gun to your head or a knife to your throat, how in the world would you be able to call the cops? He'd kill you if you tried. Do you honestly think he'd be like "Oh, go ahead and call the cops~ I'll just wait here to be arrested." That type of thinking is so idiotic and yet so popular these days... If a criminal came into a person's home with a weapon threatening to kill them, somebody's going to die or be hurt. Who should have the death or injury? The victim intentionally, or the criminal in an act of harming the victim? Most people would say the criminal deserves to take harm, unless they happen to be criminals themselves...

People keep trying to take gun rights away. Why? It all goes back to people thinking taking guns away lowers crime rates, which it doesn't. It only makes law abiding citizens more vulnerable.

Giving guns to the people makes criminals less likely to attack. This has been proven through experiments. But, let's figure out how it makes logical sense...

If guns were given to innocent people and there was a gun in the home of every person, criminals would be less likely to attack. Why? Because, if a criminal has knowledge that there is a gun within a household they plan on attacking, they most likely won't attack. This is because they would fear being shot at. A logical fear because a fearful person being surprise attacked by a criminal is much more likely to shoot. It's reflexive. It's self-defense. It's human nature to protect oneself.

__Gun control and the constitution__
Gun control goes against the constitution. It doesn't get simpler than that. Any act made to limit the ability of gun ownership of buying to any citizen in this country infringes upon the right to keep and bear arms. And in the second amendment it's stated that the "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Is this even worth elaboration? You'd have to be really creative to come up with ways to go against the constitution. And even then it's a very unintelligent move since the constitution guarantees your rights, and going against the constitution is like saying "Hey, I'm an American and I hate freedom." Ironic, since America was founded on the principles of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" and I believe the constitution falls under the "Liberty" part.

Liberty- a synonym for "free"

Really gets you thinking...
