Criminals have no difficulties in getting hold of guns- anywhere in the world. They are however more afraid to use them in countries where many normal citizens might be armed- and shoot back.
Historically, the right to bear arms is what made the difference between a free man and a slave. And it still holds true.

it particularly is likewise a Rant approximately very own Firearms certainty: The NAM reminds us that March twenty 5th marked the sixteenth anniversary of Kennesaw, Georgia's ordinance requiring heads of families (with specific exceptions) to maintain a minimum of one firearm of their residences. the city's inhabitants grew from around 5,000 in 1980 to 13,000 by skill of 1996 (contemporary attainable estimate). yet there have been in basic terms 3 murders: 2 with knives (1984 and 1987) and one with a firearm (1997). After the regulation went into bring about 1982, crime against persons plummeted seventy 4 p.c. whilst in comparison with 1981, and fell yet another 40 5 p.c. in 1983 whilst in comparison with 1982. And it has stayed impressively low. to boot to easily approximately non-existent homicide (murders have averaged an insignificant 0.19 consistent with twelve months), the as quickly as a year style of armed robberies, residential burglaries, commercial burglaries, and rapes have averaged, respectively, a million.sixty 9, 31.sixty 3, 19.seventy 5, and a pair of.00 by using 1998. With all the attention that has been heaped upon the lawful possession of firearms at the instant, you will possibly think of that a city that demands gun possession may well be the middle of a media feeding frenzy. it is not. if certainty learn i'm no longer able to undergo in suggestions a important media outlet even retaining Kennesaw. are you able to Harry? the rationalization is sparkling. Kennesaw proves that the presence of firearms easily improves secure practices and secure practices. it particularly isn't the message that the media choose us to hearken to. they choose us to have faith that weapons are evil and are the reason for violence. The information tell a diverse tale. what's much greater thrilling approximately Kennesaw is that the city's crime value decreased with the effort-free information that the full community became into armed. The undesirable adult adult males did no longer rigidity the citizens to tutor it. in basic terms understanding that citizens have been armed added on them to bypass directly to much less complicated aims. maximum criminals don't have a loss of existence choose. there have been 2 activities in my own kinfolk whilst the presence of a handgun avoided skill disaster. In the two circumstances the gun became into never geared in direction of a individual and no shot became into fired. Harry, take some Prozac, get use to it.

surely not me, where did you get your statistics?it sure was not from Canada nor England, nor Germany as they have admitted their crime rate sky rocketed when they passed a law against gun owner ship,
I personally don't want to live in a country that prohibits gun owner ship, as I do want to have the ability to protect my self and my family, in the even of a robbery , rape, or a hundred other problems that humans face almost daily , and any man who feels otherwise is not much of a man in my estimation, of course some of these bad azzes will say I kill them with my bare hands, if they are truthful have never faced another man with a gun , Guns are what made this country great, now are we going to let some panty waist who is so scared he will need to use a gun destroy it , you could ask how many country's have fallen because the people didn't have any way to defend them selves,

Australia has very strict gun laws after someone took a army assault rifle and decided to kill 35 tourists in cold blood and we probably have one of the best crime rates in the world.So every country is different it depends on the citizens and whether they need guns to defend themselves.

Countries where guns are outlawed have FAR lower rates of violent crime than countries where they are legal, like the US. There is no correlation whatsoever between freedom and being able to have a home arsenal.

People having guns illegally versus people having guns legally, maybe? I bet people would think twice about mugging someone if there was a possibility they were "packing".

As long as people have guns and the will to fight tyranny, there will be liberty.

Read the Declaration of Independence and remember history repeats itself.

Let's hope for all our sakes that the next revolution is fought at the polls and not in the streets.
