First off, I am not a criminal. I have every single right to purchase and own pretty much any gun that I want, as long as it is a legal firearm. I'm not looking into purchasing or wanting under my roof a weapon that is illegal. I am not a hunter. I do not have any desire whatsoever to go out and hunt defenseless animals (if you're a hunter, more power to you, but it's not my bag.) I have legally modified my gun so that it can hold the full capacity of shells. It holds six just in case anyone was wondering. If I ever have to actually use this gun, I will have no qualms about protecting my home and our lives. God have mercy on the person that decides that it's my house they want to break into. If my dogs don't eat them alive, then they'll have me to deal with.
I believe that every law abiding citizen and even those who have a non-violent criminal history have the right to own a gun. I believe in protecting my home, my self and my family against all terror threats, both foreign and domestic. I firmly believe that guns do not kill people...PEOPLE kill people. Guns are not the problem...people are. When we realize that, we'll be the better for it. Banning guns is in my opinion the same as banning air. Sure that may be a little dramatic but can you understand what I'm saying?
I can honestly say that I never thought I would ever have a firearm in my home. I didn't think there would ever be a time when I didn't feel safe in my house. I purchased my firearm as a means of home defense. Why? Had I been blogging last June and July then you would understand. In short, we lived next door to people who were dealing drugs out of the place they were renting. I shared a wall with them. I cannot begin to tell you the amount of traffic in and out of their residence all hours of the day and night. How many times it was my door people were knocking on looking for their drugs. The last straw came when the neighbors called their pit bull to attack while I was outside with my dog one day. My dog defended me and wound up killing their dog, but after that it became painfully obvious that I no longer felt safe in my own home. I bought that gun the following day. I stayed awake at night for weeks and kept the gun loaded and by my side, especially when the attempted breaks in started. Since the neighbors moved, I have unloaded the gun but I keep the shells close by in case I need to load it quickly. I've answered my door once with the gun in hand...but that's what happens when you awaken me at 3 o'clock in the morning by pounding on my door and alerting my dogs that there is a potential threat on the other side. Don't mess with me and don't make my dogs react threateningly and you won't be greeted with a shotgun pointed at your head.
I know there is a lot of violence in the world committed by people who have guns. Why punish and penalize the majority of us that are tax paying, law abiding citizens? Give it a rest people. I have just as much right to own my gun as a hungry person has the right to eat food. It's the exact.same.right! Completely different contexts but the same rights in the end game.
I completely believe in gun control. It's called holding it with two hands! Or, if there's a gun involved, I want to control it.
End of discussion.
