Gun Control and Crime Control Myth

Gun Control and Crime Control Myth. If we can get the “common sense” myth about “Gun Control equals lower crime” out of the way, then we can work on the myth that hunting is what is protected in the US Constitution. A Free Society and Representative democracy is protected by the “the right of the People to keep and bear arms”.

Replayed from: The Nation’s Gun Show

Why do most law abiding citizens who carry guns not worry about crime?  Because most live in States where the 2nd Amendment is still the rule of law.  Because most can carry guns without worry about prosecution due to unconstitutional laws.  I’m pretty sure a business or individual has the right to refuse entry to a building or residence to any weapon or individual who carries one, don’t you?  I believe the Constitution, however, gives us the right to possess “arms” without government interference.  Many people, mostly without merit, believe they have the right to hunt, but not to carry a weapon for self-defense.  OK, Defense is the primary reason for a weapon, and a military, for that matter.  Hunting should be available for necessity and if individuals so desire, as long as it doesn’t interfere with others’ rights.  Hunting for food or clothing was not a reason for the 2nd Amendment.  Please check for yourself.

If we can get the “common sense” myth about “Gun Control equals lower crime” out of the way, then we can work on the myth that hunting is what is protected in the US Constitution.  A Free Society and Representative democracy is protected by the “the right of the People to keep and bear arms”.

OAKLAND, Calif. —  Police in Oakland say an 11-year-old boy has been shot in the face while playing with a gun he found.

KTVU-TV reports that the boy was taken Friday night to Oakland's Children's Hospital with injuries to his left eye and cheek. Police say he also may have lost a thumb.

They say the boy and a friend found a sawed-off 20-gauge shotgun in the garage of an apartment building. They say one boy was playing with the trigger and the other was holding the barrel when the gun went off and fired birdshot.

Police Sgt. Dave Cronin says it appeared the gun was being stored in the garage and that the owner kept it for self-protection.

Authorities are seeking the gun's owner, who may face charges in the incident.

People aren't stupid.  However, the ACLU, ACORN, and Progressives will not see the story the same way if two idiot kids found a lawn mower, pitch fork, chainsaw, or a bowling ball fell off a shelf.  Three people were stupid here.  More...
