Guns

So, there are common misconceptions about guns that I find severely annoying. Like the idea that guns themselves are evil. Or only fat, angry white or gang members have guns.

Wrong people.

I'm not going to turn this into a long, drawn out defense of guns because my husband is really better suited to write such a thing (and I tell him constantly that he needs to start a blog). I will say that ownership of guns is a right we have as Americans.

Yes, gang members have guns. But they don't acquire those guns legally. Those guns are usually stolen. Yes, hunters tend to be white males and sometimes have beer guts. But are they aware of gun safety? Yup. You aren't just handed your hunting license or a gun because you have two hands to hold said gun.

I find it ridiculous that so many people blame crime on guns. You know what would happen if there were no guns? Criminals would use knives. Would we then cry and moan about how knives should be controlled or even taken away?

Get a clue people. It's the bad people who abuse gun rights. And normal, sane gun owners get a bad name because of it. So just shut up now.

Thanks.
