After a massive manhunt for two escaped convicts ended when they were held at gunpoint by a homeowner, many are saying it’s another example that makes a case for owning a gun for self-defense.
But others continue to say that despite anecdotal evidence like the incident in Tennessee, there are too many guns in the U.S.
The National Rifle Association reported in 2013: “Studies indicate that firearms are used over 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances.” |

| There are not too many firearms in the US, there are too many criminals in the US, which the liberal democrats WON'T prosecute to the full extent of the law, and keep realeasing them early to repeat their violent acts! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
