Gun Control

I was watching my favorite movie last night ‘Casablanca’. In one throw back scene a Gestapo Motor car with loud speakers drives into the heart of Paris, and boldly announces that the Nazi’s will be entering Paris tomorrow and they expect everyone to stand outside and wave German Flags… Can you imagine if that Gestapo Motor Car drove into a US town or city with such a declaration? A hail of bullets would rain from every roof top on the invading force. No Military on earth could invade a city or town without first killing all the inhabitants. It’s because we are armed.

I don’t understand the emotional diatribes that occur about gun control on both sides of the debate.  Of course it is beyond sad when an innocent person is killed or injured by another person with a gun. We all grieve for the family of the victim. Everyone wants to keep guns out of the hands of those who willingly want to injure or kill another person. If a criminal or impaired person obtains a gun everyone would agree the individual ,that allowed the evil doer to obtain the weapon, needs to be found and severely punished.  Only legal citizens who pass a backround check should be allowed to own weapons.

When you see a country such as Mexico or Columbia with rampant drug lords and corruption. They have no hope as the population is unarmed. The ‘Wild’ west wasn’t settled with laws. It was an armed population that killed anyone threatening them. With our FBI and CIA out of control, can we afford to be disarmed?
