Our first point for right to bear arms is that it was stated by George Washington, which we believe is a fundamental individual right, the second point is for safety of Americans. There were cases in America where citizens saved themselves from criminals, because they had guns, for example, a 68 year old East Lake man saved himself by shooting 2 intruders in his house, if the 68 year old didn’t have any arms to protect himself, he would have likely faced extreme conditions. Also, Like Jesus once said, “If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.” This shows that Jesus also believes protecting yourself is more important than anything, and we should protect ourselves with arms. Our third point is the leisure people feel by hunting or shooting targets. It is a human right that someone can freely own a gun for safety, belief, and leisure.
Guns do kill people, but is that the only weapon to kill people? As stated in this article, knives kill 5 times more people then rifles kill people. Knives and other cutting instrument killed 1490 victims in 2013, but in contrast 285 victims died because of firearms.
The FBI statistics show that knives have been used as a murder weapon far more often than rifles — even those evil “assault weapons” we hear so much about — for quite a while. In 2013, knives or other cutting instruments were used to kill 1,490 victims. In contrast, rifles were the cause of death of 285 murder victims.
The fact is that the banning of firearms only increases crime as a whole. Canada, Australia, and England showed these trends and it continues today. The lie in the article is that so many people are shot and killed each year. If you remove the number that are killed by Law Enforcement, the values take a sharp turn down. More people are killed each year by Knives than guns. Do they want to ban them as well. The fact is that if every person was trained, and carried who was an adult over 21 and not a felon. With the obvious fact about mental states of these people. Then crime would decrease. The facts are out now and crime in DC has gone down along with Chicago. So allowing more guns decreased crime. So why do the Anti Gun Liberals continue to lie and create more restrictions.
