Hello There,

Some say that we should ban ownership of guns and that guns kill people and
if people didn't/couldn't own them that we would have a safer society. The
end result of that thinking is that the  criminally minded and the police
would be the only ones to posses guns. I would think that many law-abiding
people would still want to protect themselves. We need to recognize that
criminal minded people are doing bad things with these guns. It's not the 
law-abiding citizens, it's not the person who uses guns as a hobby.

Some say that for the defense of the home, we have police  departments. To
that I say that police generally get involved after the fact. When was the
last time the police arrived to prevent or  to protect and defend a home
and the people within?

We should never for an instant forget, that the one and only reason 
anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker and  unable to
resist the will of others, so they can do unto you what  they choose that
you wouldn't allow them to do if you were able  to defend yourself. This
goes for burglars, muggers, and other  criminals, and more so for
bureaucrats, and politicians.

Banning guns for responsible gun owners will do little to prevent 
criminally minded individuals from carrying out violent acts. I  am a
believer that guns by themselves do not kill or shoot anyone. It takes a
person to do the shooting and killing.
