America and the Right to Bear Arms

             The right to bear arms is a constitutional guarantee, and is not open for discussion; however, the United States Government has used its power to limit and regulate this guarantee. Our government has been attacking this right for years, and like a covert terrorist organization, it denies its action. Pretending that they just want to limit the right to bear arms is their blanket of protection. They will slowly move from under that protection only when the nation is ready to accept the loss of this right and when it doesn't appear to be huge a movement to give up that right.

These are the people responsible for the murders, rapes, robberies, and other violent crimes in our society today. Now, if you present gun restrictions or a ban on guns to both of these categories, what will be the outcome? The outcome is the entire basis for why gun restriction has a reverse effect. What happens is that you end up with a population of upstanding property-owning citizens that are unarmed. This population generally yields to the laws, and therefore they freely give up their right t...
