In all the articles read, including the one the above quote was taken from, it seems that the members of the major parties forget a very simple fact. It doesn’t matter whether or not the
majority of the people want no guns except in the hands of government and its various agencies. The only fact that matters is the Constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear
arms to the individual, a right that must never be infringed upon.
In other words, there is only one side to the gun issue - the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
As facts are ignored, the primary facts being that in areas where concealed weapons are permitted, crime goes down and, in areas where guns have been removed, crime involving firearms increased tremendously (including murder), it is clear any measure of gun control is pushed by the government in order to remove the primary means of defense from the people. There is no other conceivable reason since the facts support every American
carrying handguns will result in a decrease in crime rather than the converse.
So, forget the ‘sides’ which is just every day claptrap put out by politicians maneuvering to turn this nation into a totalitarian nation. Keep your handguns and all other weapons you might own as it is certain the day will arrive when the necessity for use presents itself. That is, unless We, the People, demand the Constitution be protected and preserved as written.
Help this nation by getting rid of politicians who do not clearly support the Constitution as indicated by deciding which side of an issue to be on simply because of votes. What I
mean by this is Doug Dean, (R-Col. House Majority Leader), was concerned about Gov. Bill Owens (Col.) not consulting with GOP legislators before his announcement that he supported several gun control measures. What the hell does this mean?
Simply put, his concern was whether or not the announcement would hurt the party, not whether the unalienable rights provided through the Constitution were in danger of being ignored once again, along with the oath of office sworn to by all elected officials in government.
And, to pro-gun control people - you really need to know the facts rather than the misinformation put out by the majority of the media and politicians seeking to remove your liberties.
Do all of us a favor because, no matter what you think or what Congress does, I will not give up my arms without a fight.
