Thinking hes quite the comic, the author sarcastically lists reasons why one would support gun control in this fire-powered article.
I think my favorites are, "You like to discriminate against women and deny them the means of defending themselves" or "You enjoy punishing small children who have done nothing wrong."
Yes...I favor gun control because I want women and children to be punished...
But the one "reason" I would like to talk about is number 10. "You enjoy leaving students defenseless against school shooters". It explains how the past couple school shootings were all in gun-free zones and how "law-abiding students with bright futures" will keep their guns at home. The author goes on to note the example of the time where an armed student was able to stop a school shooter. So, I guess he is trying to say that if everyone was able to have a gun, then school shootings would stop and if they did occur...other students will have guns too, so they can just pop the shooter themselves!
Number nine talks about how if you favor gun control, than you like politicians that treat themselves more favorable than they treat their citizens. I don't care whether my government can shoot guns or not...it is the community, the majority, the citizens rights that need to be dealt with.
The author also claims that people in favor of gun-control must just be scared of guns because they have never owned one or used one. I don't need to own a gun to realize I don't need one as well as the millions of people across the U.S. that don't need one.
I understand that people feel safer with a gun and that despite any control laws, people will still get their hands on them. But you must ask yourself both these questions. How often do you hear about a shooting attack on an innocent citizen? How often do you hear about a gun owner, using his weapon in defense?
