Default I have a right to protect myself and what good is that right

GENERAL INFORMATION
Privately owned firearms in the U.S.: More than 200 million, including
65-70 million handguns
Gun owners in the U.S.: 60-65 million; 30-35 million own handguns
American households that have firearms: Approx. 45%
Hunters nationwide: 14 million (16 yrs. of age and older)
I have a right to protect myself and what good is that right if I am denied the means to do so? Guns are just the best tools for that job at the moment. To deny anyone access to guns is no ones right unless you intend to protect that person your self. How about it any of you anti gunners want to guarantee my safety for the next 50 years or so. How about you take my guns away then if some one ever hurts me or my Family I sue you. Lawsuits can go both ways you know.

If you think in the “NEW WORLD” guns and violence are going to go away well get over it because it isn’t going to happen. We really have to remain able and ready to defend ourselves. Even if you could manage to somehow get all of the millions upon millions of <gunpowder, black powder> guns off the streets somebody would just invent a new kind of weapon and the killing would go on. Just as it has since the beginning of time. After all people were killing each other long before there were firearms. The weapon of a killers choice isn’t the issue never has been never will be. The human urge to kill, the willingness to carry out that urge these are the issues that must be addressed before any changes in human nature can occur. It is after all human nature to kill. We kill to eat to protect our selves and our loved ones. You may never have killed the cow yourself but a cow did die so you could have your bigmack attack make no mistake about it you are responsible for the death of a living creature almost every time you eat.

I have asked this before and it always goes unanswered.
It’s the middle of the night. You hear a noise out side of your door. A stranger busts into your room.
On your bed side table are two things. A phone and a gun. The stranger has a club and is about to hit you with it.
What do you grab for the gun or the phone?

If guns are taken away from us are you going to stay at my house and protect my family?
I’m a good sized guy and I fight OK when I have too but I ant no super man. If the anti gunners take away our last, best chance, to defend our families I hope they drowned in the law suites that will follow.
I for one would sue the blank out of all you anti gunners if any thing ever happens to my family after the government takes our guns away.

As for calling the cops…sure they will be more than happy to arrest the predators that have harmed or killed you or your family. …Some how that’s not good enough for me. If it is for you than go for it. Me I think I will keep the means to protect my family close at hand.
