Gun Control


Gun Control is a debate that is beginning to die down, but it's still useful to address it anyways. Unlike most debates, there usually are no boundaries between politics parties. Whether you are conservative or liberal, your political party will still have generally the same ratio of against:for as the other.

For this reason, it all comes down to a simple point - should people have guns for protection, or should they have these guns withheld from them? Well, if the guns are withheld from the "assaultees", then that means that they wouldn't be able to shoot the victim as well, right? Well - no - underground gun sales will most definitely continue. In making gun ownership or sales of guns illegal, there will be an untaxed, unenforced, and uncontrollable market going on under the governments eye. This could lead to even more assaults with a deadly weapon than in the past. As much as nobody wants to admit it, guns are a homeowners only defense against an assultant, and taking that away from an armed gunman is a death wish.

"As much as nobody wants to admit it, guns are a homeowners only defense against an assultant..."
I really agree with that statement, especially because out here in Alden we live pretty far away from a police station so what is someone supposed to do if someone is armed in their home while they are waiting for the cops?
Great post.
