(16,993 posts)...and in America, guns rule! We don't care who owns them, how many they have, what they intend to do with them, or what kind of weapons they own.
In America, citizens have a right to bear arms! So what if thousands of people die each year from guns, that is not a problem, it is the cost we all bear to protect our rights!
If children die, the parents can just make more to replace them. If people commit suicide, well, they were unhappy and that's what they wanted, and medical attention is too expensive anyway, so the family survivors will have saved a lot of money.
The right to bear arms is above all other rights, including the right to life, which is why the gun manufacturing industry--singularly--is protected from lawsuits by the Congress (that we bribed to pass legislation to protect us).
If more people had guns, we'd all be safer. When someone starts shooting in a dark movie theater, if most of the people in there had guns, they could all immediately identify the assailant in the dark and shoot him dead. Since all gun owners are perfect shots and possess great eyesight and the instinct to know immediately which person--of all the ones standing up firing guns in the dark--is the assailant. No innocent people would be shot or killed in this scenario.
If more children had guns, and were taught gun safety early on, there'd be fewer accidental shootings. Get a gun in a kid's hand as soon as they are able to hold it. If more children in schools had guns, fewer would die when someone walks in with the intent to kill lots of people. All the kids could fire back and stop the intruder dead. Of course, no innocent victims would be harmed.
Guns should be everywhere*--and everyone should have at least one. Everyone would be much, much safer if this were reality. (*Everywhere except where legislators work and at the NRA headquarters and press conferences.)
We aren't doing this for profit, we're doing it because we're Americans and we believe in protecting the rights and freedoms of all!
