User ID: 25765147 United States 12/15/2012 07:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Truth about Guns in America For decades now, there has been an overt push against the 2nd Amendment. Bills have been considered and some passed to ban/limit everything from Automatic Weapons (1968), Semi-Automatic Weapons, Handguns, Large Capacity Magazines, Center Fire Ammunition, Bulk Ammo Purchases, Purchasing more than one Gun a Month, Open Carry, Concealed Carry, Create Gun Free Zones, on and on an on. None of which has done anything to curb violence. In fact, the United States has over 25,000 gun laws on the books and nothing has changed anything.
On the flip side of the Coin, guns in the hands of average Americans are used more than a million times a year to protect one's self against muggings, rape, beatings, robbery, car jacking, home invasion, murder and every other imaginable crime. In approximately 98% of these self defense cases, the guns are never fired. Just pulling a gun on a would be criminal/murderer will normally stop the act of aggression. There are several long term studies available on the subject.
Yet, the media, in all its hype, never sees fit to run ANY of these self defense stories. If they truly were fair and balanced in any way, shape or form, we'd see dozens of stories about guns being used properly for self defense for every one story regarding a criminal shooting. The silence of omission is in itself a form of propaganda. Is it not? |

make sure everyone in your home over age 21, has a firearm for self defense.
encourage & pay for if need be, concealed carry license, training classes, trips to the range..
