Comments on: Gun Control is Not a Reasonable or Rational Response to Crime http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/04/10/gun-control-is-not-a-reasonable-or-rational-response-to-crime/ Firearm information and politics from a gun rights perspective, with an emphasis on self defense rights.

This is a nation much more like Kirk than Spock. How can we win over anti-gunners? Appeal to their emotions. Sarah Brady: Isn't it better to fight and maybe live, than just lie down and die from a criminal assault? Do anti-gunners REALLY prefer that their loved ones choose the second alternative? The worst part is: Anti-gunners are anti-choice, and want to prevent you from making the choice to defend yourself. In a world with a gun ban, only criminals and the police will have guns. Allow me to formulate Hagbard's Law: Laws only constrain the law-abiding. Anti-gunners, you need to face the facts: Your agitation for laws banning guns are directly responsible for many, many gun deaths of people lawfully DISarmed. The criminal will always be able to obtain guns, via "straw man" purchases, gifts from family members, burglary, street sales between criminals, etc. I agree with you on the “unreasonableness” of gun control, but often people are motivated by emotion.
