40 Reasons for Gun Control

There is only one.

Personal freedom as a political agenda.

Gun control should have been started as far back as 1800. That way we would all be living east of the Appalachian Mountains and we would be a third world country.

Doesn’t it? I really like #17...

17. Private citizens shouldn’t have handguns, because they aren’t “military weapons”, but private citizens shouldn’t have “assault rifles”, because they are military weapons.

Hey just cause your one of those people that passed a federal background check without any felonies or assault charges, that still makes you a threat to the common criminal and our government!

We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

You have no idea of the number of anti-gun liberals who actually believe this. Police officers have some special Jedi-like mastery over hand guns that private citizens can never hope to obtain.

Truth: Cops are 4 to 10 times more likely to shoot an innocent bystander than an armed citizen.

Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

I've noticed that since I've gotten a couple of large capacity semi-autos in the gun safe, they keep beating on the door to get out. They've left dents in the door and walls where they tried to get out and hitch hike to a school yard, but so far they haven't gotten out and done it yet. Of course, I was smart enough to store them without bullets so they couldn't shoot their way out.

Great find, BTW. Some of the best, most succinct expositions on the incredibly flawed logic at the heart of gun control that I've ever seen. I also liked the one about the cops having Jedi like mastery of hand guns.

A classic. BTW, my cousin spent 20 years on the NYPD, retiring as a detective lieutenant in the Manhattan DA’s homicide squad (he sort of resembles Chris Noth). In his twenty year career he never drew his weapon once. He never had to, even though he's far from physically imposing at 5’ 9”, 165#. Closest he ever came was changing a tire at night on 125th Street in Harlem in civilian cloths.

Just mention it, 'cause they spend a lot time dissin' cops. I appreciate the coppers, I just don't want to depend on them.
