RE: Gun Control? What happened to freedom?

in #freedom7 years ago

I appreciate the open dialog. It is nice to hear a view from someone who isn't angry or trying to shove their opinion down my throat after reading my article lol.
I have been to war twice and can tell you it is just as easy to kill with a hand gun or "hunting" rifle as it is an AR-15, its just a matter of reloading and distance but let me assure you practice makes perfect! So I guess I don't see your point with outlawing AR-15s. I know it is much more personal to stab 20 people but it does happen, google it. A man yielding knife killed 19 people and wounded 25 others in japan 2 years ago, so it does happen, it just isn't publicized world wide because it doesn't push governments agendas of disarming the people. I am a true believer that no law taking away innocent peoples rights is a good one. We cannot punish everyone for the mistakes of a few, that is not going to turn out well for the majority when we are in a police state (like nazi germany was) and no one can protect themselves from a tyrannical government who has all the weapons and use them only for control, violence and shitty purposes like un-needed wars. But you are right, SOMETHING does need to be done. I wish I had the answer as to what. Education is the most important thing though. Don't just think the government should have the answers and the power, because the never have the peoples best interest in mind, regardless of what the media may tell you.
But this is all my opinion, and everyone has a right to believe what they want.
Thanks for the comment.

I did not mean that one should remove any weapon just having stricter laws to get them.
