"Studies by or for the Congress, the Department of Justice, the Congressional Research Service, the Library of Congress, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found no evidence that "gun control" reduces crime, suicides or accidents in the U.S. or abroad. More Guns, Less "Gun Control," and Less Crime There are more guns (at least 250 million) and gun owners (70-80 million) in the U.S. than ever. During the last decade, "gun control" has been significantly reduced. Forty states have Right-to-Carry. The federal waiting period on handguns ended in 1998, in favor of the NRA-supported national instant check. Congress refused to renew the Clinton Gun Ban, allowing it to expire in 2004. All states have hunter protection laws, 47 have range protection laws, and 47 prohibit cities from imposing gun laws more restrictive than state law. Congress and 33 states have prohibited frivolous lawsuits against the firearm industry. Since 1991, total violent crime is down 38%, murder is down 42%, and robbery is down 45%. Firearm Safety NRA's 55,000 Certified Instructors and 12,000 Law Enforcement Instructors reach 800,000 people annually. NRA's Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program has been used by more than 26,000 schools, law enforcement agencies, and civic groups to reach more than 21 million children since 1988. The accidental gun death rate has declined 91% since 1904. General Information • Privately owned firearms in the U.S.: Over 250 million, including upwards of 90 million handguns. The number rises by approximately 4 million annually. (BATFE) • Gun owners in the U.S.: 70-80 million; 40-45 million own handguns • American households that have firearms: Approx. 40-45% • Hunters nationwide: 14.5 million (National Shooting Sports Foundation) • NRA State Associations and Local Clubs: 10,000 • NRA Target Shooting Tournaments annually: 10,000 • NRA Certified Instructors and Law Enforcement Instructors: 62,000" A man kills his family because he goes in debt for half a Million dollars. A man kills people he knows because they make fun of his enlish. A man kills his family because he has lost his job. Etc., Etc., Do we need "Gun Control", or more "Federal Mental Health Workers" in our schools, offices, unemployment lines, and throughout or lives? "Gun Control" will control 70-80 million; but, "Federal Mental Health Workes" will be in control of 360 million. That is what you need to go for, "Big Brother", control over the lives of the 360 million. Matthew, Chapter 15:14, "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." |

I have a question. Why is it only in America (compared to the rest of the first world) that guns are so important? honestly, it seems like the people in other countries, France, Britain,Japan, don't have all these problems that the U.S.has. So what? is the rest of the Western World, Japan, and Australia so much better than we are or are they more enlightened? Tell me what place Guns have in our society todday, who are we afraid of? I'm not knockingyour thoughts or anyhting, I'm just courious to know what makes Gun proponets tick.
Check out the new Article I just put in. I hope it will open your eyes to things. Remember: “Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.”
