They're Ba-a-a-ack!

With the tragic shootings that have been in the news lately, it was only a matter of time before all of those anti gun nuts came out swinging, and trying once again to convince everyone that the Second Amendment to the Constitution really doesn't matter, and that the Government should take more illegal steps to remove guns from the hands of US Citizens. However, for now, I'll put all of that aside, and let's just look at the basic question, will taking guns away result in less people being killed?

Genesis 4:8 says, "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." Did Cain use a gun? No. The fact is that you do not need a gun to kill someone. A person who is committed to the idea that they need to kill a person, or persons, can find many ways to do it that do not involve a gun. Is it easier with a gun? Sure, but so is self defense. Would it have been any harder for the man in Binghamton to kill all of those people with an axe? Or a chainsaw? Regardless of his weapon of choice, the fact is that an armed person, with knowledge of, and ability to use, his or her gun, could have put a very quick end to the carnage, with a much lower body count.

The fact is that for Millenia prior to the invention of firearms human beings were constantly engaging in murders and wars. They didn't have guns, and yet they managed to kill on a staggering scale.

Some of these nuts are just afraid of guns, some hate them because they see them as uncivilized, or some such nonsense, and some know that they are critical to the survival of liberty and the civil society, and it is this that they wish to destroy, but whatever the reason why people want to take the guns away, the end result is the same, you and your family will be less safe, and less free.
