But I don't understand this whole gun argument going on today. First of all, even without guns there would be mass killings. I actually think there would even be more mass killing in this country without guns. I know the left try and say people don't protect themselves very much with firearms but that is just not the truth. Problem is, it only gets reported when the bad guy is shot or otherwise incapacitated until the police arrive. But there are numerous stories of people pulling out a gun and the bad guy fleeing. But it doesn't matter what you WANT to believe, if you are honest enough to look at the facts you will see that mass killings would happen with or without guns.
I think people want to ban guns just because they personally don't like them. That, or the really wacko left want to control you more and that would be easier if we were all disarmed. But why do I say mass killings would still happen even if we got rid of not only the so called assault weapons but all guns. Because mass killings already have happened without guns many times. For example, in this country we have had several bombings in the past century that have killed several children. 2 of the most famous are the Bath school bombing and the Poe school bombing. In the latter, 6 were killed and several more injured. Injuries included missing limbs. This was in 1959 in Houston Texas. But that pales in comparison to the 1927 bombing in Bath Township, Michigan. This one killed 38 children and 6 adults. No guns were used.

But those are just two examples. You can Google mass killings bombs US and see that there are several more. But bombs and guns are the not the only things crazies will use. Did you see the View, where they went on and on about the stabbing that happened this year (2013) in China and how no students died and so that proved we shouldn't have guns because the kids would at least still be alive. Scarred perhaps, but alive. How convenient that they didn't just go back two years to another stabbing in China where another madman killed 8 children with a knife. Did they not know about that well publicized news story or did they just conveniently cover that one up. And it is not the only such happening. Maybe the liberal media really does just have an agenda.
Fact is, the crazies are among us and no matter what we do they will find a way to kill or otherwise hurt people. Even if that means walking around in gangs with bats and clubbing people over the head. Which happens by the way. (Just Google knock out game and see what the blacks are doing in cities now.) It makes no sense whatsoever to punish law abiding citizens because some crazy does something. And why guns? Have you ever asked yourself that? More people are killed by beatings every year. People are killed by knives, bats, cars, etc. yet the leftist goes after guns! I can't help but think there are ulterior motives going on behind the scenes here. If we look to history as a guide then what we find is that all dictators had to first take the guns from the citizens. All mass killing psychopaths like Stalin took the guns away first. Makes me wonder why, worldwide, there is this mass confiscation of guns by those in charge today. Something to think about.
Imagine however, a world without guns. At first thought you might think it would be utopia. But I am here to tell you we will NEVER have utopia on this planet because men are mean, they hate, they truly are sinners.
( Oh gosh, I used a Biblical term. Call out the left brigade and burn this site down. Once upon a time this country stood solidly on Protestant principles and it was a better place for it. But that rant is for another day. Let's get back to point about no guns.)
If gun control is so great then let's have total gun control. No guns anywhere! No military guns, no police guns. What would happen? Cities would be a vast wasteland. Gangs would control the blocks. Police would be outnumbered. Citizens would have to join together and fight back with swords and sticks. Yes, this would happen and has happened in history. Still happening in inner cities. Even though they steal guns and use them the inner city punks walk around in gangs slinging chains and knives and anything else they can get their hands on that will do bodily harm. You know I am telling the truth or you wouldn't be afraid to walk in those areas, would you. And with no military weapons then a country like China could invade any smaller country (which is about everybody) and take them over because it would become a numbers game with how many can sling a sword. Yes, man has discovered that weapons, especially more advanced weapons level the playing field and keep the crazies somewhat contained. This by the way IS what the cold war was mostly about. Doesn't matter if you are the biggest country in the world, but if you are sitting on nuclear bombs people hesitate to mess with you. And this my friends is why guns should never be outlawed and more people should own them. A gun in the hands of a woman stops 4 would be rapist just like a nuclear warhead stops invading countries. At least until they get so crazy they don't care how many die. Some day we might have someone that crazy but so far it has worked. Getting rid of guns only does one thing. It makes the criminal more daring.

Well, I stayed away from statistics in this rant but I will put a link at the bottom that shows more gun control in this country means more crime. That has been proven over and over again. As a matter of fact, it goes up in EVERY country when they get stricter gun laws. I have a copy of the Wales/UK website about crime statistics and it shows how their crime shot up a LOT after they became very strict on guns. I copied the page from that website because I figured they would eventually do away with it or change their way of counting crime to make things appear a little rosier. I mean, how does it look when the law that is supposed to keep people safe is putting them in more danger. Strange thing is, they kept saying crime was going down, yet anyone that cared could look at that site and see it wasn't so. And by the way, they have taken that page down and they now have a very hard to decipher page that makes things look a little better. Last I heard they were under reporting crimes as well. I must be a genius! Or maybe I just know how socialists think.
