Comments on: Common Sense Gun Control http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/common-sense-gun-control/ Fri, 18 May 2012 14:43:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: The Outsider http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/common-sense-gun-control/#comment-2161 The Outsider Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:19:54 +0000 http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/common-sense-gun-control/#comment-2161 As I mentioned in the article, a friend of mine wrote that article. I do, however, agree with him. The article mentions "common sense" gun control. That common sense really means us! We must use common sense in how we handle guns when around children and also how and where we store them. This all boils down to our right to defend ourselves. The real intentions of the second amendment refers to our right to protect ourselves against a tyrannical government as our forefathers did against British rule. The other reason is to protect ourselves against any criminal intent of injury or loss of life against us. I wouldn't shoot a robber but I certainly would if he aimed a gun at me. By contrast, many robbers would shoot their victim without thinking twice. I do have a "Concealed Carry permit, although I have carried a auto pistol only once. That depends on where I am going. If I had to go into any major city in the U.S., I would carry my auto. There isn't a city in the U.S. that is safe for anyone! "The governments that function the best tend to have less violence and less guns." The second amendment has nothing to do with government function. The government and it's politicians have more weapons and bodyguards than any of us...for a reason. To deny the people that right is tyranny or will eventually lead to tyranny. History will bear out that fact. By and large, the American people are more responsible than those in government and certainly can be trusted. In my humble opinion, the government today can NOT be trusted. The vast majority of the people would agree, I'm sure of that! A 37 year old friend of mine (black and one of the nicest people I know) was stabbed and left to die in his old neighborhood when he went there to visit his mother. He had $2 on him and they were mad because he didn't have more. Luckily for him, an old lady close by heard the commotion and called 911. I do appreciate your comments and concerns, however, I have serious disagreements with your analysis of common sense gun control. One of the great things about America is that you can choose not to have a gun to protect yourself and family and I can. I don't expect the police to be there for me fast enough when I really need them! As I mentioned in the article, a friend of mine wrote that article. I do, however, agree with him.

Also if a child finds a parents gun and shoots either them self or someone else by accident. Why do you really need a gun? The governments that function the best tend to have less violence and less guns. Just look at Canada, they get along fine with less murders by firearms (both by % and #). Do we really need the ability to shoot the guy next to you? The common sense is possession of firearms leads to a greater use of firearms and using firearms leads to death.
