They let you drink, have access to a car. More children are killed in auto accidents and drunk driving accidents in one month, than in all the firearms accidents in 10 years. Yet there is no call to curb stupid drivers.
Its all fun to blame an item and call it dangerous. But when they come for your toys, its not so much fun.
Our founding fathers didn’t give us the second ammendment so that we could hunt, to shoot pretty disks of clay, or to punch holes in paper. They realized that some day there was a possibility of a government run rampent with un-checked power. It’s when the people lose control, that they need a way to protect themselves. Your not going to protect yourself from people with guns, with kitchen knifes.
If you want to see how violent crime IS NOT changed by weapons laws, look at Britian and Australia. They now have to ban knives and FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. Because people are still involved in violent crimes, and people should not try to protect their house from fire, they are untrained, and risk hurting themselves. Now thats a “nanny state”.
Humans are violent, and I hate those that wish to harm others. But if you come in my house to hurt my family, your goint to die in your attempt. No person will attempt to, or will do harm to my family, and live. Not an empty threat, its the truth.
Usually those that are on the Democrat side, like to believe that they are more educated than those on the Republican side. I’m just a dumb redneck that likes his fast cars, guns, and beer. Well pull your head out of the sand, look at current examples of what you want out of life, and see if its working. Then look at history and see if the things you want to do could remove your ability to defend yourself. Keep in mind, its very easy to enact laws, very hard to repeal them, especially if those in power happen to like the law. (think C.A.R.B.)
This is a way to look at it. You can remove the political parties, and add any subjects you like. If you take what I love away, when they come for what you love, guess what, i’m letting them take it. Why would I stick up for people that took what I loved away, because they were scared.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
I joke, I guess I’m just tired of having my rights taken from me, that’s all.
