TweetIt seems as if the previous post, A Little History on Guns, has gotten some attention on Digg the last 24 hours. If any of you have a Digg account, go ahead and digg it.
A commenter on Digg had something worth sharing including this cartoon:
As a cop(ex) for seven years working in a high crime area, I dealt with many more murders committed with knives than I did guns, and trust me, if you are going to be killed, you would much prefer being shot, than you would being brutally stabbed to death!
The fact is, if someone wants to kill you, they will kill you with whatever they can get a hold of.
Not allowing law abiding citizens to be armed, besides being UNCONSTITUTIONAL, results in ONLY the criminals being armed!Have you ever noticed that almost all mass shootings happen in gun FREE zones? (schools, malls)
Also found this on Free Republic who picked up the gun post too. A poem ya’ll will like.
Why I Carry A Gun
I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.I don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life
hating myself for failing to be prepared.I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.Police Protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin’ !!
