GUNS LOWER CRIME
* Here's the obvious: If you're a criminal - do you break into a house where a little old lady will shoot you or where a helpless victim is easy prey?
* If you're a criminal - do you care anything about the law? Obviously not! Isn't it naive to believe criminals will follow gun control laws?

* Why have we let our government legislate us into becoming potential victims? Criminals have guns while law-abiding citizens are left helpless.
* Why should criminals carry guns while law-abiding citizens are prohibited?
* Why add more gun control laws when criminals clearly ignore existing gun control laws?
* Any gun control that restricts law-abiding citizens is ridiculous - we're not the people who commit crimes.
* More guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens will lower crime and make the world a better place.
GET YOUR GUN FIRST!
Gun or Phone?
Get your gun first! I've always been amused by those commercials where you see a helpless woman running to answer the phone when some idiotic criminal is breaking into her home. DO YOU REALLY THINK a criminal will turn and flee from you simply because you're seen answering the phone and talking to a home security company?
This month (December 2009) my Uncle experienced an attempted home invasion. Some idiot was trying to bust his front door down - and in broad daylight. Smartly, he ran to get his gun, then called the police. This time, the criminal wasn't able to break into his home - so he wasn't forced to shoot the bad guy.
Get your gun first, then get the phone!
GUN QUOTES - TOO COOL!
More Guns - Less Control!
Very good gun quotes: Source -http://www.sightm1911.com/Care/Gun_Quotes.htm
Mohandas K. Gandhi: "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest. If we want the Arms Act to be repealed, if we want to learn the use of arms, here is a golden opportunity. If the middle classes render voluntary help to Government in the hour of its trial, distrust will disappear, and the ban on possessing arms will be withdrawn." Mohandas K. Gandhi, Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Chapter XXVII, Recruiting Campaign, Page 403, Dover paperback edition, 1983.
Admiral Yamamoto: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." Advising Japan's military leaders of the futility of an invasion of the mainland United States because of the widespread availability of guns. It has been theorized that this was a major contributing factor in Japan's decision not to land on North America early in the war when they had vastly superior military strength. This delay gave our industrial infrastructure time to gear up for the conflict and was decisive in our later victory.
Adolf Hitler: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. Translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens.
John F. Kennedy: "Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
The Dalai Lama: "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." (May 15, 2001, The Seattle Times)
James Earl Jones: "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
Sigmund Freud: "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." ("General Introduction to Psychoanalysis," S. Freud)




Thoughts
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are safe." (Luke 11:21) (Note, the text later states that a stronger or better armed criminal could overpower a weaker or poorly armed victim, so get a 1911 .45 ACP!)
Gun Control
I think the only obvious answer to all the questions about gun control is
" So they can justify policing the State". And in turn,
people become wards of the state.
