The US Should Ban all Firearms

Alright, let me clear a few things up. My first argument about colonial automatic weapons was for Liberals who believe that the Constitution is out of date and didn't count for modern weapons because they didn't exist at the time. And the other thing I want to to clarify is "assault weapons". There is NO SUCH THING AS ASSAULT WEAPONS! That term is completely fictitious and created by liberal media as anti-gun lies! Now there are "assault rifles", and there are only TWO requirements for a weapon to classified as an assault rifle. First: it must be fully automatic, and second: it must fire a bullet between that of a pistol and a full rifle round. As you can probably guess, LOTS of weapons meet at least ONE of those, but very few ever actually meet BOTH requirements. Now, everybody remembers Bill Clinton as the president inn the 80's, right? During his presidency, he actually passed a law making civilian ownership of assault rifles illegal. So people who are trying to make assault rifles illegal are trying to pass a law that was already passed over 20 years ago! Now, on to a more modern topic. Have you ever heard of Carol Brown? probably not as the liberal media swept it under the rug as soon as it happened so it won't interfere with their anti-gun plan. Carol Brown was a 39 year old woman who lived in New Jersey. She had a boyfriend that she broke up with because he was a violent person. After reviving several threats from him, she did several smart things. She added security cameras and an alarm system to her home. She also applied for a protective restraining order to keep Michal Ethel( Her ex-boyfriend) away from her. Then finally, she decided to purchase a handgun for self defense against him.................But then she was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend in her OWN DRIVEWAY! Unfortunately for here, New Jersey has overly restrictive gun laws and permit application was put on delay for 3 months when she should have been able to get everything done in 30 days. She was left defenseless by the very system that was supposed to protect her! The brutal murder of Carol by Michal caused people throughout the nation to realize that Brown was PURPOSELY left defenseless by anti-gun politicians. If she had tried to buy a gun in a different, more Conservative state to protect herself from the bigger, stronger attacker, she would have succeeded and would have survived. Now for the B.S statistics you found about the so-called "miniscule" amount of self-defense firearm usage. I have a website that proves that wrong, and shows the actual statistics. * Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. * Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker. * As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse. * Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of "Guns in America" -- a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig. * Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606). And readers of Newsweek learned that "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The 'error rate' for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high." I don't know about you, but these are very impressive statistics that, in a prefect world, would diffuse your argument. But we live in a bad world, so I will have to add more to drive the point home. My argument about the armed citizen keeping the government in check. You claim that armed citizens aren't able to keep the government in check. In that, you do hold some merit. The current president, Obama, has skipped Congress. His word is law and whatever he and his leftist cronies want, they get. Most of the new laws didn't even go through the three branches of government. He creates a law, and if congress denies it, he skips them and does executive action. He did it with the new gun restriction and he done it the gay marriage, even though it represents less then 2% of the U.S population! Your idea that resistance is futile because the armed forces are FAR Superior then law abiding citizens is true. You know what else is true? How fierce the Taliban were in the middle east! They LITERALLY LIVE IN CAVES! NO ELECTRICITY! Yet, they proved a very difficult challenge for the army. Do you know why? They used Gruella tactics. Hit and run when they least expect it and run before they can retaliate. It's been proven time and time again that a very small army can take on, and even BEAT a far bigger and better equipped army. Now for my final argument for this round, I will prove that America was protected FROM FOREIGN INVASION because of the sheer amount of guns in America. To start, has anyone heard of the 80's movie, or the 2013 remake of the the film, "Red Dawn"? I believe that what happens in it is the exact reason why citizens NEED firearms. Basically, a group of high school students help fight the invading Russians (or North Koreans in the remake). They succeed even though they are out gunned and out manned because they used gruella tactics and worked WITH the U.S army to bolster it's strength since most of our troops aren't home, They're overseas. Now, back to the past. Specifically, 1942. America just joined WW2 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japaneses plan to invade America in their quest to dominate the pacific. They already have dominance over have of the eastern ocean and many of the islands. In fact, Japanese were READY AND ABLE to invade the homeland with their secret super weapons, such as submersible aircraft carriers and their hot-air balloon incendiary bombs. Thankfully, The Japaneses emperor, Emperor Hirohito, was well aware of the amount of guns in America and realized that an invasion would never work, and he quoted, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass". So we have armed citizens to thank for preventing a Japanese invasion of the East Coast. So let me tell you this before I go. A person recently did the math and added up the deer license sales in just a few states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin... Again 600,000 HUNTERS! Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the 8th largest army in the world. (That's more men under arms then Iran. More then France and Germany COMBINED) These men, deployed to the wood of a single states, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms and NO ONE WAS KILLED. That number pales in comparison to 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, All of whom returned home safely! Toss in a quarter million hunters in west Virgina and it establishes the fact that hunters in those 4 state compose the largest army in the world! And then add inn the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's million's more. You know what the Point is? The point is that America will be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower. Guns aren't just for hunting, it's a matter of national security, which is why all enemies of America, Both foreign and domestic, want to see every American disarmed! Just food for thought, the next time you consider gun control whether you agree with it not. So overall, even if we disregard the assumption that hunters don't posses the same skills as soldiers, what army of 2 million would want to face 30 million, 40 million, or even 50 million armed citizens! FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FREEDOM, DON'T EVER ALLOW GUN CONTROL OR CONFISCATION OF OUR FIREARMS! https://www.gunowners.org... https://www.nranews.com... http://www.pbs.org...
