Gun Grabbers: Public Protectors or Obstructers of Justice

Odds are if you’re on the other end of a bullet, you’re probably going to die. If guns are such terrible killing machines why do we place them in the hands of our children, fathers, and mothers?
To be clear, guns are a killing machine. They take life. Plain and simple. Out of all the western nations the United States of America has the most guns per capita, by far. When the founding fathers wrote the second amendment, they weren’t talking about hunting, because you don’t need a gun to hunt, they were talking about resistance to the government. “The revolution will not be televised,” Malcom x type of stuff. Weapons, especially military grade weapons, enable the people to forcibly resist oppression and upset the political sphere.
When Hitler conquered Germany, the first thing he did was register all the civilian owned guns and then collect them for the army, same with Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong Un, etc.
But that shouldn’t be too bad right because if all the guns are gone, then people cannot commit crimes.

Nope.
Let’s take a look at El Salvador or Honduras or Chicago. Both of these countries and cities have banned guns within their perimeter, yet they have the highest crime rate and murder rate.

Why?
When we strip the criminals of guns, we also strip the people of their guns and their defense. We leave mass populations unarmed, they are susceptead to crime and cannot defend themselves against perpetrators. The majority of NRA members or gun owners are not bad people, yet are still stripped of their right to own a gun. Normal civilians can’t break past government regulations, but criminals who did that every day will have no problem acquiring guns to continue their havoc.
Now let’s look at Switzerland, a place where there is almost a gun in every household there is very little crime and a low murder rate because criminals know that civilians can operate a gun and have the ability to kill an intruder.
Time and time again we see countries who have banned guns, like the United Kingdom and the European Union face grave terror attacks and heightened crime. Just a week ago, when a terrorist attacked the British parliament, the police on duty were unable to apprehend him because the police in London do not carry guns, only a baton.
Imagine if all we removed all the drugs from the world or all the wealth from the world, how fast would it take for the richest to regain the majority of their wealth or the drug lords to begin production again? Not long. So why do the same to guns?
