Ten Really Good Reasons to Ban Guns By Bruce Gold
1. Guns are used in self-defense over 2 million times a year.
However, this makes the attempted crime a "non-event," which
necessarily complicates the Police investigation. Without civilian
ownership of guns, these Police investigations would not have been
compromised. Civilians should leave crime prevention to the Police who
are properly equipped to investigate following the crime's completion.
2. Some .004 % (4/1000 of 1%) of guns are used in crime each year.
This is way too high. All guns should be banned
3. Guns are unnecessary. In 98% of civilian gun defenses, no shot is
fired. If you are not going to fire a shot, you clearly don't need a
gun. This proves that the guns are unnecessary. Banning guns will
prevent these unnecessary defenses.
4. Guns cause criminal migration. In tough gun law Washington [D.C.],
violent crime rates are very high. This high crime rate is caused by
the migration of criminals from gun havens like Virginia. This
migration is caused by the criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed
householders and concealed carry civilians.
This criminal migration is detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in
no gun areas and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere.
5. Most gun crimes are committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers.
These relatively small and geographically restricted groups
consistently commit the majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as
turf wars erupt over Drug War changes. The best way to prevent this is
by denying guns to all law abiding people everywhere.
6. No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or murder.
The Police will protect them by investigating the crime after the fact.
Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really needs.
7. Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should
completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do so is an
invariable sign of improper and overly independent attitudes. Failure
to completely and absolutely trust and depend on the authorities is
excessive democracy and sends a bad message to children.
8. Guns owners engaging in self-defense are taking the law into their
own hands. This is wrong. Only the Police and Criminals have the
right to take the law into their own hands. It should be kept out of
the hands of citizens.
9. Children and young people should remain ignorant about guns. Real
guns and real gun knowledge dissipates the fantasies created by violent
video games and TV. Ignorance once lost, can never be restored and
needs to be protected.
10. Guns reduce people's reliance on the Police and Government. This
fosters a mistaken belief in "rights." No person has the right to
question authority. No person should be less then 100% dependent on
authority. This is fundamental to social order. Banning guns will
help to establish the Order the authorities want. This is good.
