But, But, But

But the anti's claim taking our guns away will stop violent crime. I guess the criminals in England didn't hear that. They had a 140% increase in the first 6 years after hand guns were banned.

Australia had similar problems including their police officers being stopped at roadblocks and robbed by criminals of their issued arms.

The only gun control that works is the true definition.

Gun Control: Hitting what you aim at!

There you go again, trying to throw logic and reason into the discussion. Even worse, you included facts!

Shame on you.

stay safe.

Interestingly enough, the spark which ignited the American Revolution.... was gun control. Let's hope and pray that should the time ever come when the government decides to try something like this again, we do the same thing our forefathers did.

Sparked my Google-fu curiosity, which revealed this page:

And then this fascinating paper:

How the British Gun Control Program Precipitated the American Revolution

Download PDF at link.

Extremely well documented paper removes ALL doubts on the original intent of the Second Amendment!
