Get My Gun, Mama

Ok, I know I'm going to step on some toes this morning. But, quoting the movie Biloxi Blues, "When you start compromising your thoughts, you are a canidate for medocrity."

Guns. The left hates these things, and for that matter, so do some of the right. But let's face it, if every American citizen was carrying a loaded weapon, well, terrorists would be a little less anxious to get over here and cause trouble. Hell, a plane may have gone down on 9/11 because a passenger discharged a firearm in attempt to stop an act of terrorism, but then thousands of lives lost in the twin towers would have been saved.

Now the left argues that we need to make guns unavailable to people who would use them to hurt others can't get them. So, in effort to do this we have all kinds of gun control. Some would like to see guns erradicated in this country. Let me think. Would this work?

Well, controlling an item has been attempted before but it didn't seem to stop it from being widely available. I mean, the FBI, CIA, and ATF have done a bang up job keeping illegal narcotics off of the street. And I don't mean Marajuana, I mean the big ones like Heroine and Cocaine. If I wanted a fix right now It would probably take me 20 minutes to find a dealer.

So it's irresponsible to think that anyone could control guns. I hate to quote over stated bumper stickers, but it's just so true: "If they outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns." Very very true. Just look to the friendly neighborhood drug dealer to see that.
