Many of us knew that the killings in Aurora would cause all the
anti-gun groups to climb up on their soapbox. For some reason, they still believe that outlawing guns will solve all the problems. I have a few problems with that thought.
Having a weapon to protect my family and myself is my right, guaranteed by the Constitution. Under no circumstances will I give that right up. There are evil and crazy people in the world. That will always be the case. You cannot change it. I guess we could drug everyone into submission.
Anyone willing to read a little history can quickly see what happens when weapons are taken from citizens. They become slaves and do what they are told or die. I am not exaggerating, it is the truth.
It appears to me, that civilized standards keep advancing, maybe improving, at least on the surface. I do believe that civilization is actually a thin veneer covering the real nature of humans.
No, not a negative attitude, just what I believe. Most people like this and are nice and reasonable. They want as safe an environment as possible. For the most part, in this country, that works. It does not always work though.
Evil and crazy people will get a weapon. Guns will always be available to the "bad" guys. So are knives, rope, poison, hammers, toothbrushes.....A weapon can be made out of anything and it does not take a lot of brains. All it takes is for one evil or crazy person that wants to hurt someone.
I will keep my firearms to protect my family and myself from these types.
