Have you ever thought?

Have you ever thought of the consequences of Gun Control?

Why would taking away guns from law biding citizens make this country safer? The criminals would keep their guns and once the law biding citizens turned in their guns, they would have no protection whatsoever. The criminals would start robbing and killing every person and house in the country with no fear. Also in the very small chance that this country gets invaded someday we would have no protection.

I should note that I myself will never turn in my guns because of what I have just stated lol

Update:

I don't wander the streets with my gun and my back to criminals. If you want to take my guns you are welcome to break into my house lol but you won't make it back out.

    You asked: "...Have you ever thought of the consequences of Gun Control?

    I don't understand what you're saying.

    Did someone tell you that controlling the ownership of guns involves taking your guns away from you? That person lied to you.

    Gun control is about making sure that the owners of guns own them responsibly. They register them, they keep them safely out of the hands of children and criminals, and they know how to use them safely.

    Gun control is exactly the same as vehicle control. The car has to be registered, licensed, and the driver has to demonstrate that he knows how to operate it safely.

    Come to Syracuse, New York, where on a weekend night it's a veritable war zone! I mean, I was safer in a real war, and I was right out there where the bad guys could shoot at me.

    Those doing the shooting are young and they don't give a shlt. Some jackass just blew away a 20-month-old when he popped an entire 14-round clip at a parked van with the kid and his mother inside.

    Ya wanna know how these damn gang-bangers get the guns? They take them from "law-abiding gun owners" like you! You wanna know how well your guns protect you? They don't. Gang-bangers don't walk up to you and announce their intentions and give you a chance to grab your own gun - they pop you in the back of the head - you never see or hear it coming - then they take your gun and use it to pop someone else.

    Yo: I grew up with guns, and I gots two brothers and a step-brother who're cops. ALL of us know you're not a bit safer if you have a gun. In fact, if the gang-bangers know you got one, YOU are the one they'll come after in order to get yours! It's like you painted a big bull's- eye on your back. Don't y'be no fool, hear?

    I am not born with a gun, so I don't really see a need for it, also the only thing it can really do is shoot and hurt people, and I am not one for increasing probabilities of suffering.
