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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
