Defending Our Rights and the Rights of Others.

Just Plain Baaaaad!

I was at the clinic today and overheard a couple talking about the shooting at a Pathmark store north of me in N.J. The woman then called for a crusade against gun ownership. I honestly believe the un-intelligentsia and media damage people into believing that guns are so bad. I have yet to lose an argument about gun ownership and yet, I've never owned a gun. I've fired guns at ranges before, but never felt the need to own one. Why, you may ask, do I defend others rights to own guns? Something that I own a copy of.  Something that the anti-gun people truly hate and hope to banish from the history of my great nation.  It is called The Constitution of The United States.

It is my and my fellow patriots' RIGHT TO BARE ARMS. That includes a gun, a knife, a fork, etc. Our great forefathers, who founded this country, felt strongly enough to craft this into our first laws, The Bill of Rights.

Let's do something that most anti-gun people have trouble doing. Let's think about the last few shootings logically.

An insane gunman in a Colorado movie theater:

Yes, this guy went into a movie theater with weapons and opened fire. If guns were banned before this incident, does anyone think that no one would have gotten hurt? This guy was an explosives expert. What do you think his weapon of choice would have been if not for guns?

An insane white supremacists At a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin:

This guy brought a gun inside a house of worship and opened fire killing at least 6 people.

An insane laid off clothing designer in front of the Empire State Building:

He shot his former colleague to death. Nine bystanders were hit by police fire.

An insane, disgruntled, co-worker At a Pathmark in Oldbridge, NJ:

This guy goes home, gets in camos, comes back to work after his shift and opens fire.

All of these incidences have something in common besides guns. An insane person with a motive. In these cases, if guns were not available, would they still have happened? Of course, the weapon would have changed, but the motive would have still been there.

Now that the Anti-Americans want to ban guns, let's ban all of the things that kill people.

• Obesity related disease (CDC) – Kills more people than smoking per year in the U.S.. A whopping 30 time more people than gun homicides. Of course I hate the term obesity related disease, what if they would have had the disease anyway? Also, I put obesity in with the smoking category. These things only kill the individual and not those around them. So, as long as we're playing the game, BAN FAT PEOPLE! BAN SMOKE!
• Motor Vehicles (NHTSA) – Motor vehicle accidents kill 3 times as many people as gun homicides. This doesn't take into account exhaust related illnesses. BAN LIZZY LOHAN... I mean CARS.
• Accidental Drug Overdose (CDC) - Kills almost 4 times as many people per year as gun homicides. BAN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
• Alcohol Related Deaths (CDC) kills 7 times as many people per year as gun homicides. BAN ALCOHOL. Didn't we already try this one?

In fact, according to FBI statistics, the number of gun homicides is less than 12,000 per year. It's not even in the top 15 causes of death in the US. (CDC)

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
