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.
"If the
opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses
to
disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves."
-- Josef Stalin
