Guns are used in
self-defense over 2 million times a year.
However, this makes the attempted crime a
"non-event," which necessarily complicates the Police
investigation. Without civilian ownership of guns, these Police
investigations would not have been compromised. Civilians should leave
crime prevention to the Police who are properly equipped to
investigate following the crime's completion.
-
Some .004 % (4/1000 of
1%) of guns are used in crime each year.
This is way too high. All guns should be banned
-
Guns are unnecessary.
In 98% of civilian gun Defenses, no shot is Fired. If you are not
going to fire a shot, you clearly don't need a gun. This proves that
the guns are unnecessary.
Banning guns will prevent these unnecessary defenses.
-
Guns cause criminal
migration. In tough gun law Washington [D.C.], violent
crime rates are very high. This high crime rate is caused by
the migration of criminals
from gun havens like Virginia. This migration is caused by the
criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed householders and concealed carry
civilians. This
criminal migration is detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in no gun
areas and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere.
-
Most gun crimes are
committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers.
These relatively small
and geographically restricted groups consistently commit the
majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over
Drug War changes. The
best way to prevent this is by denying guns to all law abiding
people everywhere.
-
No woman needs to protect
herself from rape, assault or murder.
The Police will protect
them by investigating the crime after the fact.
Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really
needs.
-
Guns owners are
disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should completely rely
on the authorities. A failure to do so is an invariable sign
of improper and overly independent
attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and depend on
the authorities is excessive democracy and sends a bad message to
children.
-
Guns owners engaging in
self-defense are taking the law into their own hands.
This is wrong. Only the Police and Criminals have the right
to take the law into their
own hands. It should be kept out of the hands of citizens.
-
Children and young people
should remain ignorant about guns. Real
guns and real gun knowledge
dissipates the fantasies created by violent video games and
TV. Ignorance once lost, can never be restored and needs to
be protected. Not to mention
the lost sales of all the violent movies, TV shows, video games, etc!
-
Guns reduce people's
reliance on the Police and Government. This fosters a
mistaken belief in "rights." No person has the right to
question authority. No person
should be less then 100% dependent on authority. This is fundamental
to social order.
Banning guns will help to establish the Order the authorities want.
This is good.
