Serious about Gun Control? What the...

I see videos like this:



Then I read and hear comments like "What a Gun Nut." and "Doesn't that guy have any feelings towards those kids that died?"





Then I read and hear other comments about "It's our 2nd Amendment right!" and "We have no choice but to fight!"




You always have a choice.   You can roll over, show your belly and accept cowardice for allowing any of your rights and freedoms to be infringed upon or you can look at a problem and come up with a better solution, that doesn't involve losing any rights of freedoms.

Also, and I posted this on Facebook in response to someone else's ill-informed comment.

"A person is not a 'Gun Nut' who wants to maintain the 'Right' to defend himself/herself, , with firearms, from anyone or any entity who desires to take those rights away.


Disarming law abiding citizens is not the answer. Attacking our constitution is not the answer.

The only logical reason, because Facts and Reality have a way of slapping the crap out of 'feelings' and 'beliefs', to ban the possession or sale of firearms like the AR15, is to limit the types of weapons that pose a viable threat to Armed Federal Intrusion.

IF the 'Gun Grabbers' really wanted to curb gun violence, they would seriously look at the cause, things like vast unemployment, poverty, drug abuse, psychological impairments, etc..etc.. instead of attacking the rights and freedoms of law abiding people.
"

Now I look at how FAR this Gun Control subject has gotten.


And give you the fact that resistance to proposed gun legislation by Local Law Enforcement agencies all over the United States is increasing, not decreasing as the Mainstream Media is saying and obviously NOT reporting on.

Why?  Because Law Enforcement knows that reducing guns will only increase their danger on the job and the lives of the citizens that they are trying to protect, without reducing gun violence at all.

We do have to come up with solutions, not reduce rights and freedoms.   I am a responsible gun owner and everyone in my family knows to be safe and respectful of firearms.

When concerns of "Civil War" begin to get louder and louder, then you know this Gun Control topic has gone too far.

Making a political knee-jerk reaction to tragedies like Aurora or Sandy Hook, will not save lives in the future, and will only embolden a majority of people to resist measures that infringe upon their rights.

We need solutions, not horrible legislation....
