20/20 on Gun Control

[Guest 91108]

bthest , I agree with the whole of your post.

the second is all about defense of self, then successively local and state and federal.
It is the individuals who join together to protect the successive levels of community that become militia. So if the population is not in possession of the firearms or whatever is available to them due to technical increase.. then how are they to defend against? smiles.. there is where many of people begin to have problems. kinda means we should stop expending into military technology and keep it low level doesn't it.. Grins even more.
Anyways... That is how it started and is coming back around to it .. as the law abiding citizen has a right to self defense..
The courts have said that there is no emphasis on the LEO community to act to defend. It is to act to enforce and catch the criminal. That is evident in why they rush to a crime afterwards and often are too late during the commission of it ... As they can not prevent but end up cleaning up basically.

Since I am a CCW and was an instructor until earlier this year .. I see a huge increase in those whom seek legal carry because of the crime increase.
And in states that have CCW .. the criminal populations knows it.. and crime statistically drops and drops every year. That is not put into the pc/media/news.
Wonder why ? could it because that doesn't promote their anti-gun agenda ?

As a UK citizen, I am dismayed at the increasing level of gun-related crime here. I see it as a result of a failure within our society rather than as a result of any legislation-for or against guns.

As a child I owned an air rifle and belonged to the National Small Bore Rifle Association. I learnt how to shoot and handle a weapon. I also knew that I could never shoot a living being after seeing what even a .22 could do...

As long as there are people who take the attitude that they can disregard others-there will be problems. And, I'm sorry to say-that is the prevalent attitude in society at the moment.

I will say that I now worry when I confront gangs of youths who I need to "shoo away" at work. One of these days, one of them will pull a knife or gun on me-and I shall be obliged to hurt them. I don't want to do that...

Understandbly Ed. I did many speeches and reports in high school on gun control and, as that was seven years ago, if I remember correctly one out of every five homes in america own at least one gun. That is why you have never heard of other countries invading the US lol.... ya never know when your gonna get the wrong house. hehehe... it is out of control though. Maybe if kids these days were made to take gun safety courses they wouldn't feel the need to shoot up a school? I could be wrong...
