Seeing so much gun violence only makes me want to carry a gun more. I don't understand how people say "oh people are shooting people a lot so lets ban guns" and believe that's the best way to go about it. I'm sure if people were to think past their initial reaction and dig deeper they'd realize that we need to take our security into our own hands, not rely on others to protect us. The founding fathers didn't put in the second amendment for fun it, was them giving every citizen the right to uphold their own safety. If there was an immediate threat, say someone robbing your house or a school shooting, wouldn't you want a gun to protect yourself? Or would you rather do what all these other people have done at these shootings(columbine, sandy hook, batman theater, VT, ect.). which is helplessly run or hide hoping the shooter dosent target you, while waiting for the police -- ya you know, those guys with the guns that you need to come save your ass. If any of the innocent people at these shootings had guns they could've shot these crazy mofos before they were able to harm so many. Banning guns wont make you safer it'll just give insane people, who do manage to get guns, more power over the masses of unarmed civilians. I mean even if the government did ban guns, many people, mostly criminals, would still have them. Wake up people!!! stop depending on big brother to save you, and start being self-reliant!!!
