This whole debate is not just about guns it is really about our Constitutional Rights, our fundamental rights given to us by our creator. OUr elected officials need to reread the oath of office they took and remember what it means. I have spent my entire adult life serving this country under oath to the Constitution and the actions of our elected officials just sickens me as an American.
I have guns in my home and my wife and I both have Concealed Pistol License and we act responsibly. When I go out in public my gun is not conceled so as not to frighten anyone, but more importantly to have a surprise for anyone that tries to cause harm to any human being in my sight. You see I dont just carry a gun for my protection and for my family but also for other law abiding citizens.
I dont like guns and I wish we lived in a world where we didnt need them. I wish we lived in a world where we didnt need a military. We dont live in that world though and I refuse to be a victim to some piece of scum and I refuse to standby and watch someone else become a victim to said scum. I pray to God that I never have to even pull my gun and show it to scare off someone let alone actually shoot someone and kill them.
The argument against "assault rifles" is one of the dumbest I have ever heard. No I dont need one, but moms dont need a 4500lb SUV to take one kid to school and soccer practice. Car accidents kill more people every year than guns.
An assault on our guns is an assault on our Constitutional Rights and every American should be outraged about it.
Sorry about the rant, but this is something that is very important to everyone not just gun owners.
