This is the sixth part in the Government Is The Problem Series.
GUNS ARE GOOD
In America and any other country that has Progressives trying to strip rights of citizens, you will hear the argument that guns are a bad influence on culture and should be heavily regulated, then ultimately taken away. The reason this is dangerous is that guns protect regular people from criminals, and if times get desperate, even the elected criminal.
*Food For Thought:
If Adolf Hitler didn’t ban guns in Germany, do you think that the Jews would have been so easily marched to their deaths? Also, if Joseph Stalin didn’t have bans on guns do you think that the 20-50 million people that were killed in the name of socialism would have accepted their deaths either? I am pretty sure that we can all agree that if they were allowed to own firearms, the magnitude of these mass genocides would be a lot smaller if any at all.

Lets look at an interesting fact shall we?
According to Don B. Kates and Gary Kleck in their book “Frequency of Defensive Gun Use”, handguns are used five times more in the US to stop crime than they are used to commit crimes.
The truth of the matter is, that our Founding Fathers understood the importance of a citizen being armed. It kept criminals nervous and the government from infringing on the people with military force. This is not only a part of our heritage, but also a point that preserves our freedoms.
Look around the world. Any country that has heavy gun regulation and gun bans, has citizens with very few rights. Europe has very strict gun laws in almost every country and they have a high rate of socialism and government intervention. Why? Who is going to stop the government from marching on over the people and their God given rights? Definitely not a group of unarmed citizens. Victor=Government.
Everyone in America is familiar with the Columbine School shooting. Two boys came to school with guns and killed 12 students and teachers, while wounding 21 others. If there was a teacher or someone in the school who had a concealed firearm the amount of life lost would have been slim to none. Imagine the same situation at Virginia Tech or any other school shooting, bank robbery, rape or murder scene. The results would have been more favorable.
Even though guns have been proven to deter crime more that promote it, the far Left in America still tries to take them away and make very difficult to acquire them (unsuccessfully so far). They do this by making them look and sound dangerous. The call semi automatic firearms “assault weapons” to make a normally operating rifle sound extremely dangerous.
Here is a video that explains the difference between an “assault rifle” (which requires a lot of certification to own in America) and a normal rifle that most Americans can purchase:
All in all, when it comes to gun control, the Government Is The Problem. By taking firearms and regulating them more than they are already, they are doing the American Citizens a huge disservice. Guns protect women from rape, families from burglary, murder and other heinous crimes. They also keep our elected officials honest. They help people hunt for food and bring people together for some good old fashion fun. The serve as a way to get people out doors. They offer sporting opportunities like shooting Trap and Skeet.
But most of all they are part of our American Heritage. The armed citizen helped us win the Revolutionary War, and kept the union together in the Civil War. We need guns in America to keep ourselves safer and to preserve the future.
Stay Strong!
