Re: How to Spot Misleading Statistics in the Gun Control Debate

One of the major problems with the gun control debate is the focus on crime overall. It really doesn't matter whether guns reduce crime or assist in resisting crime. The fact of the matter is that the right to own and bear all weapons (guns, knives, bows and arrows, missiles, tanks, cannon, etc.) is based on the fact that our system says that the citizen is the sovereign, not the government. This concept not only helps preserve the right to own firearms by guaranteeing our ability to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government, it actually lays a duty upon us to be prepared to take control back over the government.

In the US, citizens have a responsibility to control the government, first through voting but through whatever means necessary. We have been working hard on the first part but we all must remember that the second part is also our duty. I pray that it doesn't become necessary but I also pray that we are prepared if it does.
