What are the reasons Americans Carry Guns?

Is America really such an unsafe place?

Maybe a short story will illustrate the point in a way that’s easy to understand.

The Stupidest Criminals

A couple guys decided to hold up the occupants of a small bar. Unbeknownst to the criminals, this was a bar whose main clientele was off-duty cops. When the criminals burst into the bar, waiving their guns around, they were immediately killed because the patrons of the bar were all armed, off-duty cops.

“Stupid Criminals” indeed.

It was really more about their ignorance than their stupidity in my opinion.

However, what if every place was like that cop bar, where only an idiot would try to commit a violent crime, because “everybody knows” that everyone in that place is likely to be armed with a gun?

What if every place is like that cop bar?

When a high percentage of normal people are carrying guns, and everybody knows it, violent criminals have to be suicidal to try anything in that place.

In most of the places where a high percentage of Americans carry guns, it isn’t a response to danger or because of fear.

It’s “preventative maintenance.”

It’s like changing the oil in your car.

You don’t change the oil because the car broke down.

You change the oil to keep the car from breaking down.

We Americans carry guns to keep the crime we see in certain other parts of our country (and other countries as well) from happening where we live.....

The Answer in America is More Guns = Less Crime.....

A Proven FACT.......

More Guns in the Hands of Law Abiding Americans = LESS CRIME!

I am all for giving guns to the homeless.

After all, the homeless love their freedom, too.

Every homeless person in the San Francisco Tenderloin District alone should al have an AR-15

He has the right idea:

It's been estimated that only about 5 million new firearms sales have taken place so far in 2022, much less than the same time last year. Still, America's estimated 465 million privately owned firearms is a robust, all time high, & is well on pace to break the 500 million mark within a year.

Oh, & JFYI, over 90% of those firearms are unregistered, so the government hasn't a clue about who owns them, or where they are housed......just that they are out there.....somewhere....in the hands of American Citizens hell bent on keeping them - irregardless of any new laws passed by Congress & signed into law by Sleepy Joe!!!

More Guns = Less Crime

A well known unfact. There is a direct correlation between the number of guns and gun related death.

There is also a correlation between people being shot and a gun owner living at the address.

There is a correlation between shooting in states with strong gun laws and surrounding states with lax gun regulation.

The second amendment was never meant to be the major sponsor of school shootings and neither were the republican party.

People involved in criminal enterprises usually know each other and friction between these individuals sometimes result in shootings. A minor disagreement between honest friends or family members does not end in gun fire because a gun possessed someone to shoot Uncle Bob because he displeases someone.

The States with the most gun laws are where the majority of gun crimes are committed. The common factor is the democrats are in charge of all of them.

The Second Amendment is about having the ability to resist an oppressive government. If the government wanted to stop mass shootings it would pressure the Media to stop making them such a massive event that they cover for days.

It is fact that people who live in a home where there is a gun have a much higher likelihood of being shot.

Quote:

In 2020, firearms were involved in 79 percent of all homicides and 53 percent of all suicides.

Mississippi, Louisiana, Wyoming, Missouri and Alabama have the highest firearm mortality rates in the country, according to the CDCTrusted Source.

All republican states. As is typical the facts fail to support your opinion.

The second amendment was about people being armed in support of a well regulated militia which was seen as a necessary supplement to the armed forces of the day.

Of course if there is no gun present no one can get shot. In most cases the victim just gets beaten to death.

No, the Second Amendment is about defense against our own government becoming oppressive and other internal threats. It isn't about joining the Armed Forces during a time of war.
