Just Maybe
Just Maybe
Is the answer more control or give people the freedom to determine their own lives?

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this
week, which I quote: "If you consider that there has been an average
of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22
months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of
60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per
100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 percent more
likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has some
of the strictest gun control laws in the US, than you are in
Iraq.
Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington DC.?
So we ask:
Is the answer more Gun Control? Obviously not!
Do you realize that the first thing all totalitarian governments do is restrict free speech and impose gun control!
You can't have citizens with free will and the opportunity to speak against the government!
