NEWSFLASH!
CRIMINALS DO NOT ABIDE BY LAWS- THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CRIMINALS
More people are killed in automobile related accidents than by guns. So why don't we ban cars? A car can be used as a weapon. If I was an evil person with the intent to kill, I could easily run my car at high speed into a large group of people. Assault weapon? If a person is intent on killing someone, they will do it with, or without a gun. Disarming the law abiding citizen makes the criminals stronger! We need more criminal control, not gun control.
Why do you people think that the second ammendment is less important than the others, like freedom of speech, assembly, and religion? If the government tried to take away your freedom of speech I have a feeling you would be upset. Our country's forefathers obviously thought that our right to bear arms was important enough to make it the second addition to our constitution. The armed citizen is the reason this country became, and remains free. I have the right to defend myself, my family, and my country.
I'm sure this email will be deleted immediately, but you can bet that us law-abiding gun owners are fighting back at those that wish to take away our freedoms.
