In the wake of President Obama’s call for more gun control, more background checks, and threats that he is not done with trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens, it is clear that the public vociferously disagrees with him. That is easily seen by the large uptick in gun purchases, fueled by the fear of confiscation by the administration, and by the terrorist incidents that people have seen recently both in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition, there are numerous examples of ordinary citizens having guns in their homes for self protection that led to a more preferred outcome when the need arose. Home invasions have been thwarted by well-trained moms or even kids who were able to defend themselves when a call to the police would have been far to late to do anything but mark a crime scene. And that does not begin to count the thousands or tens of thousands of times that simply brandishing a weapon scared the perpetrator away.
It now seems that even police officers are beginning to get the idea that an armed citizenry can be very important in the battle against crime.
More guns, more safety, page 2:
One more year of this idiot and boy I pray he doesn’t do any more damage to this great nation
lets shove our pro gun agenda down obummers throat!
Ben, let me dumb it down for you. You don’t have a police officer standing next to you at all times. First you would have to make a telephone call then hope that the few cops in town are available, then there is the time it takes for them to reach your location. At this point, you have to hope that the bad guy hasn’t already shot or beaten you to death, and/ or violated your wife and daughters. The bar scenario would be more akin to we’ll serve you a drink but if we’re busy it might be awhile.
David Tarantino Nice try, but please tell which time obama has tried to limit guns sales (cause there are very many0 which time did gun sales go down. NEVER, as every time he tries to limit them the gun sales go up.
