Nevermind the fact that in the gun-control Utopia of the United Kingdom, the violent-crime rate is now higher per-capita than in the US...so is that of Australia..and the Phillipines...and Malaysia...and Russia...and Ukraine. In Japan, where the ownership of any type of firearm at ALL wil get you 10 years, the suicide rate is 3 times what ours is.
Face it; where the Citizens are disarmed, two things happen. Govornment power grows out of control very, VERY quickly, because the Citizenry no longer posesses the -actual- force to back up the -implied- force of a vote. If a Govornment decides to just ignore an election, it can do so, if the people are disarmed. What will you do, VOTE again?
The second thing is that violent crime goes through the freakin' ROOF, and I mean right NOW! In the UK, violent crime rose 40% in less than 2 years, following their near-universal firearms ban, because criminals now have no reason to be afraid of their potential victims. Oh, rely on the Police, you say? Forget it. Average police response time in the States is 17 minutes. In London, closer to 45, in Paris it's well over an hour. Even in that 17 minutes, my stuff's stolen, my wife is raped, and I'm dead. I think I'll take my chances with a pistol, thanks.
You say I scare you? Why? If you meet me on the street, I'm a perfectly nice person, ask Greg700. If someone tries to harm you and I am in the area, I will use my weapon(s) to defend your life as if it were my own. I simply refuse to surrender my Human Rights to the whims of a potentially tyrannical Majority. And for this, you are afraid of me? I don't understand.
Oh, and before you accuse me of being paranoid, remember this. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Franco, and Moussilini ( sp? ) were all ELECTED LEADERS of DISARMED citizens. Think about that one for a minute. I can't imagine you're too fond of George W. Do you REALLY want HIM and his thugs to be the only ones with guns?
