Why Do We Need Guns?

Liberals just can’t understand why most people want to be able to have, and carry, the means to self-defense in this “civilized” nation. The answer is simple: it’s not as “civilized” as they imagine. Bad guys are all around us, who would kill you for your pocket change, or just for the fun of it. Gang members abound, and  some kill you for initiation into the gang. They look just like other people until they shoot you, and we can’t identify them until they point their ILLEGAL guns in our faces so as to victimize us. We want to be able to defend ourselves against that. Further, the cops rush to the scene when told of a bad guy with a gun, but uniformly they can’t even arrive until the crime has been committed and the criminal has left. Then they MIGHT catch the criminal later, but that doesn’t do us any good if he has killed us. Anti-gun fools say we’re paranoid, for thinking this way; but it isn’t paranoia if people really DO want to kill you. They complain that with the kind of laws we favor, there’d be guns everywhere. But there ARE guns everywhere, now. And most of them are in the hands of criminals, leaving the good people who OBEY laws unprotected. Criminals and crazies don’t obey laws. So making laws against ANYBODY carrying guns don’t make any difference to them. There are many more good reasons, buy you’ll have to read the article linked here to find them. (The Examiner)
