It is difficult to see how the average citizen packing a concealed firearm is going to protect this country, when they are only looking out for Number One in the first place. Mothers arguing with mothers on this topic may simply be attributed to the fierce nature of the maternal instinct and a desire to protect their precious offspring. But fear and blind paranoia cannot be allowed to drive a nation's laws and lawmakers. Furthermore, this conflict seems to have become a battle of words and catchphrases rather than an honest debate over the safety of a nation. While groups like Second Amendment Sisters consistently come up with clever signs to protest against gun safety advocates, the truth of the Second Amendment lies elsewhere.
Guns kill, clear and simple.
They were not created to decorate your wall, as some collectors will have you believe, or to warn away shifty characters that may lurk in your backyard with their gleaming metal.

And this is unacceptable. All contents of this site are 1999-2000 by the New University Newspaper.
