Hello all,
The tension between gun owners and anti-gun owners over the past few days has escalated quite rapidly. The anti-gun people want to put an end to the killings that have happened lately and in the past few years by removing all "assault weapons" and magazines that hold more than ten rounds. I know that on this forum and many others, that there have been discussions on this topic. For this thread I want to focus on what happens if the gun bans and restrictions are passed.
This is just my opinion and you can agree or disagree, but please bear with me on what I am trying to say.
Our government has gone over the boundaries on many things. We pay taxes that are illegal for the government to make us pay, we are given a healthcare plan that most Americans didn't want, we spend money on things that are not necessary and go to war without permission from Congress. Those are just a few things that the government has overstepped its boundaries on; there are many more.
I am not blaming these issues on the current President, or on any one President in the past. The government has been progressively becoming more powerful, and straying away from the principles and foundations that have made this nation a beacon of freedom. It’s becoming one of the last “freedom holes” in this world.
Freedom is not protected by the government or the politicians. It is protected by the people and the blood of the people. Many people have paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep this country free because they believed in the constitution and the importance of freedom for their children and their children's children. The Founding Fathers gave us a tool for when all the talking fails we would have a last chance at protecting our freedom from tyranny. The firearm is the only thing that stands between the people and an oppressive government. Once that is gone there is nothing to keep evil men from taking our God given individual freedoms, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the freedom of governing ourselves, making our own money, and to raise our kids the way we want to raise them. In my opinion the right to bear arms is the most important right we have, and it is the protector of all the other rights we were given.
There are two sides that people can take to this issue: one is banning guns, or the other is leaving guns as they are.
Today the recent poll was 52% for major gun restrictions and 48% against. (Remember, that was taken from the Communist News Network (CNN) website.) I think that if the law the President is proposing was passed there would be civil unrest or maybe outright revolt.
Let’s not forget how many revolutions have been started over far less than the banning of firearms. In my opinion if they are allowed to enforce the these restrictions, eventually they will ban all firearms in this country.
Thanks for reading, especially if you made it this far
I would like to hear everyone's opinion, and please vote on the poll!
