Guns should not be banned. That's just crazy talk.
Gun manufacturers aren't responsible for crime; the perpetrators are. I don't know where that kind of logic comes from. Only the person that aims the gun and pulls the trigger to commit murder is responsible for that action. No one else. People are, and should be made, accountable for their own actions.
Everything should banned by that reasoning. Milk, for instance, causes illness in a person that is lactose intolerant...ban it, outlaw dairy farming; that's the answer right?
Honeybees are deadly to someone with an allergy,.. exterminate them.
The list goes on.
A gun is a tool, nothing more. Wait, let's ban tools altogether, after all, axes have been used to kill people, hammers too... :tongue1:
It's clear to me that the same people that want to ban firearms also want to dissolve all those other annoying freedoms as well. So that a small minority of people in power can dictate every facet of daily life: What clothes you can wear, what car you can drive, what words are you allowed to say, what are you allowed to think, etc.
Fortunately, there are still many millions of Americans that value their freedom. It is a constant battle to retain freedom. There is always someone trying to take it away from you. You have to fight for it. Millions of Americans have died for it.
I would personally rather die than see the country turned into a facist police state. Everyone I served with in the military with feels the same way, as does the military as a whole.
Besides, if America becomes a facist, imperialistic state, what would that mean to the rest of the world?
