In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need weapons, guns, knives, clubs, or samurai swords, for that matter. But everyone of us knows that we don’t live in a perfect world, which is why knives and samurai swords, were invented in the first place. So, for the most part, the honest folks who own guns, are realists who aren’t provoking violence, but keep them in the event that they might need to protect themselves.
When statistics are twisted in order to make the gun control advocates look like they are protecting our way of living, do their statistics ever reflect prevention of violence on due to a potential victim owning a gun? Case in point, a homeowner is in danger of being robbed in their own house. The homeowner has every right to self-defense in their own house. A violent crime was prevented because the would-be robber was deterred by the homeowner. Can that statistic be recorded?
Fighting for our rights
Now, let’s look at a bill that our President voted against while he was a senator, back in 2004. A homeowner, acting in self-defense, injured a burglar. He was tried in court, but charges dropped. Senate bill 2165 was introduced due to the court case so citizens at home could defend themselves. Then senator Obama opposed the bill, against citizens defending themselves in March 2004. November 2004, up for a vote again, then senator Obama voted against it again. Luckily the Illinois house overrode his decision. The debate continues, now he’s the President, but he’s still against guns.
