Never Give Up Your Guns

As a Department of Justice memo communicates, there are very few crimes associated with high capacity magazines and assault weapons, and ridding the country of them would do extremely little to affect the number of gun deaths in America.

Nevertheless, they are using the lie in order to terrify American citizens about something that doesn't exist, in order to give the illusion of a problem so the real outcome of banning as many guns as they can is implemented.

Here's what some of the Department of Justice memo said:

Assault weapons are not a major contributor to gun crime. The existing stock of assault weapons is large, undercutting the effectiveness of bans with exemptions...Therefore a complete elimination of assault weapons would not have a large impact on gun homicides...

There you have it. Period. It's a non-factor, and in fact there really is no such thing as an assault weapon in America because there aren't any statistically relevant crimes they are used in.

As a matter of fact, homicides attributed to rifles in 2009 came under 350. That's only a little over one person killed in America per million using a rifle.

The bottom line is the gun owners in America need to understand we should never give up our guns for any reason.

We have a right to bear arms, and no government entity in the United States has the authority to countermand the Second Amendment, no matter how the evil authorities and mainstream media attempt to spin it.

Authorities know they can't end the right to bear arms in a single swoop. What they'll do is take a little at a time away from gun owners if we allow them to. We can't allow that to happen, and need to be vigilant and resist.

No one is going to be allowed to take guns away from Americans unless they can be manipulated into believing it's the right thing to do, and is done voluntarily.

Law enforcement knows there is no way even a fraction of guns can be confiscated, and so will work upon the weak conscious of many people in hopes of wearing down resistance so they'll meekly give them up in the years ahead.
 
This is why it's important for the enemies of the right to bear arms and protect ourselves and our families are working so hard to get anything passed at the federal or state level. Once something is in place, they'll use that as a foundation to expand gun restrictions and regulations.

Why should we never give up our guns? Because this has nothing to do with gun control, but everything to do with people control. That is the end-game in America, and we can never let that happen, no matter what the cost.

Freedom and the Right to Bear Arms

There is nothing in the Second Amendment suggesting any politician or lawmaker can change or adapt it to make it say anything but in America we all have the right to bear arms. Not only does that apply to protection against criminals and crazies, but also against a government that attempts to assert itself in a manner that results in tyranny.

So even though the attempt by mainstream media to demonize "assault" rifles as being unnecessary and evil, the fact is there are very few of the homicides in America that are the result of a rifle. Only about 348 of all guns deaths in America, as of 2009, were as the result of a killer using a rifle. The vast majority of those using guns for murder, use handguns.

The other lie is the use of the term assault rifle in the first place. In reality there is no such thing. It is a rifle ... period. Nothing else.

Most people that have some wisdom understand that Americans with automatic and semi-automatic firearms don't have them for the purpose of taking on the U.S. military in a direct confrontation, as that's ludicrous. They own them for personal protection, and to make a statement that we're a free people; which is what owning guns is really all about.

Having said that, if a government does turn evil, they know it'll cost a lot if they want to try to subdue a population that is packing.

Over the last 100 years of so various nations have talked their citizens into turning in their firearms, and it wasn't long afterwards they brutally suppressed them.

The bottom line is America was birthed in freedom, and gun ownership was a symbolic and practical way for its people to express that freedom, and if it ever came down to it, fight for it.

Rifles Among Least Used Guns in Murders

Data provided by the FBI for 2009 shows that rifles were among the least used firearms to be used in murder.

Here's how it breaks down:

Of the 9,146 firearm deaths:

 •6,452 were from handguns
 •348 from rifles
 •418 from shotguns
 •94 from other guns
 •1,834 from unknown guns
 
It's incredible that rifles are the targeted gun of choice for those who hate personal protection and security for the people of America based upon the facts. Did gun opponents think America and the world wouldn't find out?

Rifle Deaths Vs. Knives, Fists, Feet and Blunt Objects

Fascinating statistics from the FBI for 2009 found that people were murdered by rifles less than by knives, cutting tools, blunt objects such as clubs and hammers, fists, hands and feet.

Knives and other cutting tools accounted for 1,825 deaths in 2009, against 448 for rifles; a difference of 1,477.

Blunt objects like clubs and hammers accounted for 611 deaths in 2009, against 448 for rifles; a difference of 263.

Deaths coming from fists, hands, and feet accounted for 801 deaths in 2009, against 448 for rifles; a difference of 453.

So now why should there even be a debate about regulating rifles? They aren't even a major factor in deaths by far, and we haven't even compared them against handguns, which resulted in 6,452 of the 9,146 firearm deaths in 2009.

There is no doubt from these statistics that gun control fanatics are using the appearance of a variety of rifles to scare people, when in fact they are seldom used in murders in comparison with most other methods of murder.

This isn't to say handguns should be regulated, because they shouldn't be. Just that the media and political obsession over rifles of various types has been built upon a lie as far as murders go. It's one of the least likely ways to be murdered in America.
