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:
F**k the gov an you to wes granberg
But the President doesnt give a$#%&!@*about US CITIZENS otherwise he behave like a President of these United States instead of an in bedded terrorist
Yes but they still have criminals. And in alot of places. GUNS. There is actually evidence that gun laws dont do a damn thing, unless you have a felony. Which if someone has a violent history clearly they shouldnt have a gun. But because we border Mexico we will NEVER be able to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Besides, without everyone owning guns, how would we as a nation be able to stand up to the government?
This$#%&!@*is so black and white . Criminals don’t follow laws. This is not some b******t this is fact. Obama thinks regulations on citizens that follow laws is the answer. Because he can’t fix the criminal element. The need for money created the criminal not the gun. Fix poverty before taking away guns.
I’ll certainly call 911, but I will defend myself until the police arrive 7 to 10 minutes later, if I’m lucky.
Does that go for black men too?
No we will fight tyranny, we will fight in the trenches, we will fight in the city’s, we will fight in the country, in the morning, in the day, in the evening and into the night before we give up to tyranny! We will fight for our rights to live free and defend our rights against tyranny! we are American people and we shall prevail against tyranny!
Unless it’s a sheriff from Oregon……..
David Roberts what humors me is that Obama is SO awful, yet the Republicans have had not one but TWO chances to elect a better candidate. And couldn’t. How pathetic is your party if they lost to a loser like Obama TWICE ?
if you look into the numbers California, chicago, and new york have the highest murder rates in America.
australias murder and crime rate went up after they had their little gun-abolishment.
britian’s crime also went up.
you know what stops a meth head with a gun? a “good guy” with a gun.
