We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. The preamble to the constitution...the document that we as a nation should hold dear.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. This the 2nd amendment which protects the constitution and keeps its citizens safe, or so it should.
The hotly debated issue with the ownership and allowance of guns in america has confused and occluded these words. i am of course pro 2A. Why you may ask, well simply put i am a gun owner. Not only that, I am a black gun owner,which in todays mainstream is not a good thing. Here I am going to explain why I am a gun owner why most people should have a gun and why there is such an issue with gun control.
First off I own a gun for protection, of myself and of my family. Now before you say but that is why there are police, think about how often you have wished for the presence of an officer in a non-critical situation. Now i recently had a time where i had to call the police...their response time....45 minutes. Let me repeat that 45 min in a major metropolitan area. In a situation that had the very big potential of escalatining into violent situation the police response time was 45 min. Police are a reactionary force not preventative. They cannot be called and rush to your defense and save you in the nick of time. This isnt a movie, this is real life, so reaction time is critical. No i wasnt carrying at the time, but had i been things would have probably started and ended differently. No I am not saying viloence would have ensued in fact i am sure that things would have not escalated to having the police show up. But again they showed up 45 min later. So carrrying for protection....yes I am happy to.
Next any able bodied, adult person in america should own a gun. What do I mean by able bodied? Well if you can operate any type of household appliance with out diffculty, I think you should be able to own a gun. No i am not inculding convicted felons, or people that have major pyschiatric issues or are on meds for such an issue. I am not saying iof you are against violence or things that have to do with violence, please dont own one. If you are afraid of guns, get educated on them. Dont just go with the flow and say guns kill people, because yes they are the tool but people have to use the tool for it to do what it is intended to do.
