Well I didn’t get anything done over break. This trimester is about to end and I still have not done any work on my grad project but I have been keeping track of the possible "Assault Weapons ban part II!" After all this time away from my grad project, coming back to it I realize that my position could be taken the wrong way by some if it is not explained.
I support the lawful ownership of firearms of all types for many reasons. I am against the unlawful sale and possession of illegal firearms. The main point I want to make is gun crimes are committed by criminals. Gun laws obviously target the law abiding. A criminal isn’t going to acknowledge a gun law anymore than they will acknowledge laws against armed robbery or murder. I have no reason to disagree with a law that calls for stricter penalties for gun offenders; this is in fact one of the alternatives to gun control. Getting illegal guns off the street is much different than keeping guns from an otherwise defenseless citizen. That a difference many fail to recognize.
If the anti-gun nuts get their way, who will be left with the guns? The criminals and the police; I’m not a violent person but honestly I would rather shoot someone than die with a phone in my hand trying to call the police.
