In this video clip, ABC’s 20/20 discusses the myth that gun control laws reduce crime. Instead, of showing a reduction in crime, John Stossel finds that gun control leads to an increase in crime, prevents law abiding citizens from defending themselves, doesn’t deter criminals, harms the weaker members of society, and paves the way for school shootings. It is refreshing to see a major news outlet reporting these facts in a unbiased manner.

Like the millions of law abiding gun owners in America, I am a peace loving person. I own firearms so that I can defend myself and my family, should that need arise. While I sincerely hope that I am never in the position of having to fire a gun in self defense, I rest easier at night knowing that I could stop an armed robber, racist attacker, terrorist, or home invader if the need arose. I also rest easier knowing that my fiance could stop a rapist or murderer, rather than becoming a victim. The simple fact is that gun control laws don't stop criminals from getting guns, and instead only disarm the law abiding citizens, making them easier targets for the criminals. Nor is it justifiable to deprive law abiding citizens of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools.

Given those facts, I would encourage my fellow law abiding citizens who do not yet own a gun to do the following: go shooting for the first time, choose the proper gun for self defense, purchase that gun, store the gun in a responsible manner, and become proficient at safely using that gun.Next, join the NRA to protect your right to have a gun for self defense.Doing so may save your life one day, and can also benefit society as a whole.

I believe strongly in the second ammendment in the Right to Bear Arms. I think that if Obama is so against gun rights that “he” should not be protected by guns. He is surrounded by body guards who all possess guns and they are for the specific purpose of protecting him. Isn’t that ironic that he wants to take away our rights to protect ourselves but he is able to be protected by “guns”? He should practice what he preaches and stand up for what he believes in, but instead he relies on a gun to protect him and his family. Just a thought!
Thanks,
