comes the following text:

Gun-control laws do not control crime because crimes are not committed by guns; they are committed by criminals. Criminals will always have guns because they do not obey laws, including anti-gun laws. Those without guns are easy prey for criminals with guns. Gun control encourages crime.

The right to bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights, not to deter crime, but to deter oppressive government. Just governments honor and protect the right to bear arms. Oppressive governments fear and prohibit the right to bear arms.

Guns are dangerous. The only thing more dangerous is not having them.

Stating the obvious for most people here, but thought it was interesting nonetheless.

Just emailed that quote to;
Spector
Casey
Platts
Armstrong
Gillespie

The only question I asked is;
What type of government do we have?

I know it probably won't do a lick of good, but it was worth my time.
