An Interesting Conclusion About Guns
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 right in my doorway. I left 6 shells beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of our house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself.
Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world. But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom for murders. These 4 Cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States. ALL 4 are controlled by Democrats.
It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data – right?
Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.

--Thank you, Russ. This is a very interesting 'Conclusion About Guns', indeed. --It's not the guns that kill people. It is the people who are holding the guns that kill. -- --Besides, if you really think about it, murder was the first 'deliberate killing' in the Bible. Yes, Genesis Chapter 4 gives us the story of Cain killing his brother, Abel. Common sense tells all of us that Cain DID NOT HAVE A GUN! Cain was jealous because Abel's offering to God was accepted, but Cain's was not what God required. God required a blood-sacrifice. How do we know this? The Fall of Man Genesis Chapter 4, tells us 'The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." Where did this skin come from? An animal of course. "The life is in the blood." This is the first mention of a blood sacrifice unto Jehovah God. More than likely Cain used a stone or something heavy, to commit the first murder. In the Old Testament, MURDER =premeditated killing. The act of deliberately killing a human being without just cause. It is forbidden by the sixth Commandment. Exodus 20:13.. Many methods (weapons), have been used to kill, murder, or self-defense.
-- PLEASE DO NOT VOTE TO HAVE OUR SELF-DEFENSE, PROTECTION, TAKEN AWAY FROM US.--  Outlawing guns is ludicrous (absurd), of course.
