every human has the right to protect themselves!. if they do not protect you then it is up to you to protect yourself!. To protect ourselves we use the fight or flight technique!.

The Second Amendment Guarantee's us the right to protect ourselves however all these gun bans are pretty much saying you are not responsible enough to protect yourselves!. So we the Government will and this is a big mistake!. Once we give up the responsibility to protect ourselves we will start to lose other liberties such as the first amendment!.

We have a god given right to defend ourselves!. We can ban all guns and crime rate will rise!. The reason is you have taken arms away from responsible citizens and leave them defenseless while the Criminals who are already under their own gun ban carry anyways and will continue to victimize people!.

For Every gun that is taken out of the law abiding citizens hands through the legislation and laws that are passed!. The people who supported and passed those laws have blood on their hands!.

I have chosen to take responsibility for my life and I have a fire arm!. I do not seek out to use my fire arm and I go out of my way to not have to think about using it!.

I am going to school for criminal justice and one thing I am learning is laws are there to protect criminals!. Gun bans to me mean the people behind it are Pro Criminal!.

In D!.C!. gun crime rose after the gun ban!. In Massachusetts where I live crime is on the rise!. In Georgia they passed a law where people must have a gun in every home!. They do not enforce this law but Crime has plummeted compared to the rest of the country!.

They will never be able to protect us!. Not all of us no matter how hard they try!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
