Amazing how scared you must be all the time.
Sad, really.
But those countries with gun laws don't have that same fear. Something to think about.
I understand, and that's a fair point, but you are talking about complex, deeply rooted issues that simply cannot be truly uncovered. It is too idealistic to think that we're going to eventually find the answer and suddenly have a peace in America. I wish you were right, I wish it could be that easy....
The only real practical solution is to have a means to protect yourself, in a worst case scenario. I wish I could feel safe, and I generally do, but I find that the most effective thing is to try and keep yourself out of that wrong place at the wrong time... Try to stay away from trouble.....
Only problem is, sometimes, like in the Connecticut situation, trouble finds you.
And in those situations, I would rather have a gun and have a
chance to defend myself than to be caught unarmed and be another helpless victim.
I didn't mean to flame up on you Boobie, I'm just being a realist. I wish it didn't have to be this way, and I wish I could tell you that the world was a safe place. But that can't be guaranteed, and if I can give myself even a sliver more of a chance to grow old someday and have a family, then that's what I am going to do (by owning a weapon and practicing my rights granted to me by our forefathers, under the authority of the United States Constitution)
If you choose not to, I respect your personal choices too, but I wish you luck, because you never know if trouble is going to find you. I'd hate for any of the wonderful people left in America to be stuck in a situation where they don't have a fair chance to defend himself, or his people.
God Bless,
