A majority of Americans are fine with sinsible gon control. A friend of
mines son was at a rest stop at night. He saw two guys walking his
way. His son grabbed a gun he carried with him, and when the two
guys saw the gun they turned around and left. Now there may have
been several reason why those two were walking toward him, but it's
likely he could have been mugged, and possibly killed by those two.
Also it has been shown that when thugs know a store owner carries
a gun, they generally find a safer place to rob.
This shows there are good reasons to own and carry a gun. The main
thing is knowing how to use a firearm, and the dangers involved. So
many buy a weapon with little or no training or education on safe use
or owonership. The gun often ends up hurting or killing those who
own it. Encluding family members or friends.
We require training and mental competence to drive a car, and Trucks.
Why not for weapons. I know many feel if the government knows you
have one they will come to take it away. This may sound like a good
excuse to not register guns. The problem is if your planning to protect
you and your family from a foreign army, government gone bad, or
a mob. Your going to need a lot more than a gun to survive. You will
need food, water, extra guns and lots of ammo, and a place to keep
it all, and hide between attacks. Along with many allies and friends.
I think the best way to survive is to get out and work for good
government. So many people set back and fuss when they should
vote, and even run for office or help others to. A democracy
needs the public involved or it will eventually shift to one where
the public is told what to do, much like it is in Russia.
