You're so right. Let's say we ban guns. All of the law-abiding citizens lawfully hand them over and are now left weaponless, and they return home. BUT, the criminals who go under the radar and keep them are the only citizens armed, and guess what! Crime goes UP, because out of all the people who actually need guns to defend themselves, none of them have any. The point of guns, you're correct, is to kill people. But which people? BAD people who already HAVE them. SELF-DEFENSE. It's a necessary evil. I know some people love to daydream about a happy world where we all hold hands and sing songs in fields of clover with double rainbows enriching the sky, but guess what! It will never be that way. Sad day. There will always be bad people and you'll always have to protect yourself.

But you might say, "We can just FORCE the criminals to hand them over!" Well, number one...how? You go find them? Most of the good ones aren't even in government records. Let's say you do find them. Now what? He's got a gun and so do the police. More people die, which is the opposite of what we intended in the first place. #2, let's say you somehow magically accomplished the mission. Now the only people in society who have guns are the police. And what do we call that? Auschwitz! Yes!

So we can't just ban guns, we can't force them out of the hands of everyone, and we certainly can't take them from the police, too. So the only option? Leave it be and trust the wisdom of our founding fathers. We all need guns at some point. Villains who want them to shoot innocents, and heroes who want them to shoot the villains.

Of course not. It's funny that the ones arguing for abortion aren't counting their many blessings that their own mothers didn't abort THEM.

You're so right. one little farm here and there due to a storm or cold weather will crumble this great nation. Curse you mother nature.

Oh ho ho of course! Just like Bill Clinton didn't have sex with "that woman," Benghazi "didn't make a difference," and Hillary didn't send any incriminating classified emails! She's definitely trustworthy. Score one for Hillary and her honesty.
