The 2nd Amendment is only 1 sentence, with 27words. WTF do you need a novel to explain it?

thanks for saving me the time of reading that. without printing that out it would have been impossible without my eyes bleeding.
 
I pasted it in MS Word and did AutoSummarize:

Is your life worth protecting?
Selling Crime Prevention
By any rational measure, nearly all gun control proposals are hokum. It is ludicrous to expect that the proposals of HCI, or any gun control laws, will significantly curb crime.

The laws proscribing concealed-carry of firearms by honest, law-abiding citizens breed nothing but disrespect for the law.

The word gun isn't mentioned until the 10th paragraph, and you really don't know the topic of the essay until the 14th paragraph. I'd like to see an English teacher grade this thing.

Does that mean individual can bear arm or the _State_ armed forces only?
 
People are free to carry guns for protection in the USA and yet, they have the highest crime rates in the world. A gun is not an "equalizer".

If people learn forms of self defense, don't go out at night and stay in groups, the crime rate will drop significantly.

Although the media portrays these crimes as happening so very frequently, the truth is that < 10% of all violent crimes happen randomly from a random stranger. 90% of the time, the crimes occur because of situations that the person put themself in, through the places they go, the people they associate with and the activities they engage in.

Letting people carry guns is not the solution.

Unless you have anything to prove why you think it's retarded, I assure you that your post is much more useless.

Taking guns away from law abiding citizens is not the solution either.

Your advice to people is to stop going out at night to avoid crime.

I stand by my previous post.

Well, more gun laws is definitely not the solution. Nor are more restrictions on gun owners.

Pure ignorance. Way to go blaming the victims... "just stay home like a good citizen should." :roll:

And the USA does not have the highest crime rates in the world. That's pure bullsh!t.

Letting people carry guns IS the solution. And the highest law of the land. Deal with it.

My advise is to limit the amount of time you spend outside, at night, alone. You dramatically reduce the probability that you will be in some kind of unwanted situation.

Like I said before, most people are not assulted/raped/murdered by a stranger. Most times it is someone that they know, or have met before.

In the small amount of random crime that does happen, almost all of it happens to people because they make themselves easy targets. Use common sense and know how to defend yourself and chances are you will not become just another statistic.

Yeah, just keep your head down and those darned criminals will find someone else to pick on. :roll:
