Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’ http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/06/14/obama-if-they-bring-a-knife-to-the-fight-we-bring-a-gun/%5B/quote%5D
Touché. And now the predictable push for more gun control, ignoring the fact that it doesn’t work. Washington DC had strict gun control, yet had very high murder rates. Mexico has extremely strict gun control and yet many border towns on the Mexican side are completely lawless. Its delusional to believe that someone who is thinking of taking a life would be dissuaded by making the possession of a firearm illegal. In considering murder, they have already exceeded the barrier posed by making the possession of a firearm illegal.
What I am bothered by, is the general sense in this country of not wanting to get involved.. either to warn, stop or help. “It is not my problem.”, “It might be dangerous. They may get mad and come after you.”, “Let the police take care if it. They will find out about him and deal with it.”. The people who tried to take back the fourth plane on 9/11 showed what can be done. The people who stopped Richard Reid showed what can be done. Giffords’s intern also showed what can be done. Don’t wait for the ‘other guy’.. they may be waiting for you!
