arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."

Gun Control and Self-protection

 
"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. Anti-gun regulations don't address the deep-rooted causes of violent crime . . . But that doesn't mean we have to become passive prey for criminal predators. Americans who want to defend themselves by possessing suitable firearms should be able to do so."1
-- Robert Levy, attorney for the Washington, D.C. plaintiffs against D.C.'s gun-ban in Palmer v. DC 

An unarmed woman alone at home, in a vehicle, or walking between a vehicle and a building has little recourse against criminal attacks.  In fact, 2005 Department of Justice Uniform Crime Report figures suggest only about 15% of women who are violently attacked are able to escape or otherwise ward off their attackers.  By looking at the number of senseless deaths and violent attacks that guns prevent, it is obvious that the greater good is being served by having armed citizens. 

The subject of firearms safety, once considered essential knowledge to guarantee our liberty from aggression and tyranny, has become taboo in our schools.  Today, young boys cannot even draw guns or war scenes without being punished.  In the past, they used this therapeutic activity to work through the cognitive dissonance that normally occurs due to contradictions between ethics and the reality of human nature.

We don't need more laws. The vast majority of people will obey laws, while violent criminals will not. Citizens worldwide are routinely brutalized and even killed by cartels, gangs, and even corrupt police and soldiers in countries like Mexico and Brazil, where the right to keep and bear arms is severely limited.  Where guns are banned, the criminals simply step in and take over their lucrative manufacture and distribution—so only the criminals will have access to them!  Self defense is everyone's right. Vigorous prosecution of and stiff sentences for violent criminals need to be the order of the day.  Turning more ordinary citizens into criminals by passing more gun control laws will not solve our problems.

to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves."
