Gun control does nothing to prevent criminals from killing innocent people. It merely inhibits law abiding citizens from defending themselves against the deviant lunatics who randomly and sometimes not so randomly choose their targets. Every state (& city) that imposes strict firearm regulations on its civilian population has insane numbers of murders committed by gun wielding criminals. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws and the murder rate there has skyrocketed but you don’t hear anything from this administration about it. New York isn’t far behind and what has made it significantly worse there was the repeal of “Stop and Frisk” which prevented a large amount of guns from doing harm by seizing them from unauthorized users who were with malicious intent. California, New Jersey, Maryland, and others keep their populations in real danger because of the ridiculous restrictions that will get you denied for a carry permit. If you cannot defend yourself, you are a target and criminals know it.
It is our 2nd Amendment Constitutional right to protect ourselves. By the time the police have gotten to a situation where a person’s life is threatened and is in real danger, all too often by the time they arrive, its a crime scene with unspeakable carnage. It could have been prevented had the terrorized victim had a firearm to defend themselves. It takes minutes for police to get to a scene after a 911 call is placed. Seconds count and can make the difference between life and death. Criminals don’t care; they have no conscience, no compassion, no value for life. So the only barrier standing between you and your family and an armed robber or killer is the firearm you have in your hand which will save your life and those of your family. Nothing short of that will ensure your survival.
Every mass school shooting has happened in a “Gun Free Zone.” They may as well post a sign that says “open hunting here; we are defenseless.” How stupid to assume that people are safe in an area where firearms aren’t allowed. Really, criminals will abide and respectfully stay away. Ludicrous doesn’t even begin to describe how insane that is; whose brainchild was that anyway? You don’t like guns, fine, then don’t have one. Nobody is forcing you to own one but don’t deny others their right to have them. If there had been armed guards or even armed citizens on those campuses, then very likely the deaths of those innocent kids and students would have been minimized. There are always going to be mentally deranged people in the world but in the face of such grave danger, the best defense is a strong offense. After the Sandy Hook horror, the NRA suggested placing armed, trained guards in the schools so that if a psychopathic predator attempted such a heinous act, they would be taken out before having the chance to carry out their chain of death. The NRA had it right; who else will protect our children? There are armed guards or police in many places so why not in schools where there have been so many attacks; lives will be saved. Wouldn’t you feel more comfortable knowing your children weren’t in harm’s way because there was someone there to protect them? The answer is clear….
So please, ignore the political rhetoric about how we need stricter gun control; that it will keep us safe. To the contrary, all that does is get more people killed by creating a defenseless society of easy targets. But also remember, if you choose to acquire a firearm, you must train. Equally dangerous it is to own a gun and not seriously train on safety and usage. But remember to train with an NRA certified trainer; safety first always as you build proficiency, skill and confidence. My best reference; http://www.armeddynamics.com/
More armed citizens equate to a safer society.
Mental health is the avenue to gun control..
It was used to confiscate guns in Eastern Europe prior to WWII..
American Psychiatric Asso: Half of Americans are mentally ill..
After crafting by politicians and Media all will be crazy except for them..
300 million prescriptions for psychiatric drugs were written in 2009 alone..

Mental health as a weapon against the people is communist in origin..
Deceptive Transformation: The Truth of Soviet Influence in America and Gun Control..
The idea of using mental health as a weapon against the people is communist in origin, and the social sciences, or the studying of human behavior has its roots in early twentieth century Russia when Ivan Pavlov developed his “classical conditioning” theories. In fact, Pavlov was disturbed that Vladimir Lenin would use these conditioning methods against the people in order to get them to accept communism. Since that time the social sciences have been used as a means of maintaining control over populations and getting them to accept their own down fall.
This is happening today in the United States as our universities and public schools have long ago adopted educational techniques based on the social sciences and classical conditioning methods. Subjects like White Privilege and Multiculturalism are used to demoralize our population, create a guilt consciousness and silence us into accepting a new agenda based on the idea that we have been unfair, and our lifestyles are oppressive, and offensive to others. This agenda dates back to the early twentieth century; however, it saw some of its most major advances in the mid 1900’s after the U.N. was created in 1945. While many people today view the Democrat Party as being made mostly of communists or socialists; the sad truth is that the Republican Party is just as responsible for what we are seeing in education and culture in the United States today.
As I wrote in “Not on My Watch: Exposing the Marxist Agenda in Education,” Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, two presidents that were considered American Patriots, actually signed agreements with the Soviet Union that gave them influence over U.S. education, culture, scientific and technological research, radio, television and finally, medicine. This is according to U.S. Department of Education whistle blower, Charlotte Iserbyt. It is the area of medicine that should draw your attention because as mentioned
earlier, Soviet medicine revolved around the idea of mental health, and classifying people that were opposed to communist objectives as being mentally ill. This is where the Surgeon General’s claims about banning guns being a part of medicine comes from. Slowly but surely, they will work to associate gun ownership with mental illness. From the 45 goals of the Communist Party USA
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
(Note: Many websites are now appearing claiming this list of communist goals to be a hoax. If you read them for yourself you will see many have been accomplished and that they bear a striking resemblance to many things currently happening in the U.S. The claims that they are a hoax could be a deliberate misinformation campaign headed by the Information Regulatory Affairs office led by none other than Cass Sunstein. Just looking at the state of our society, it is clear that these goals are not a hoax.)
While the move for an Article Five Convention seems to be gaining momentum, you should take heed. There is another constitution waiting in the winds and it won’t protect
your rights to keep and bear arms.
