Quote:What's Liberating about carrying a gun? Walking around naked would probably be more liberating.


People here wouldn't want to regulate guns? So not sure why you think the government is enforcing against peoples will. If people wanted them so bad they would vote for a party that would allow them. Or force a referendum.

 

Most people who own a gun do so because:

 

1) Being able to defend oneself or family is very important.

2) Being self-sufficient is a valuable skill.

3) Target shooting is fun.

4) The constitution and founding fathers clearly state that the right to bear arms is to protect against tyranny.

 

You may not believe in any of those, but there are millions who do. Those millions HEAVILY outweigh the very small percentage of individuals who use guns for evil. My point was that the statistics clearly show that banning or restricting guns is a worthless endeavor because the percentages are so minuscule. You don't care though. You don't care about the numbers. You don't care about logic. You only care about the strong, chemical emotions spring in your brain when the media flashes scary headlines. You don't care about reality or the truth. You have an irrational fear, and you want others to suffer because of it. It is a sad way to live.

 

By the way, Australia's gun ban was absolutely pointless. But at least you THINK you are safer.
