Gun-control advocates would rob our ability to protect ourselves


    A Georgia mother and her nine-year-old twins, hiding in their attic, shot her intruder as he cornered them.

    An armed grandmother in Milwaukee stopped a knife-wielding attacker in her grocery store. An Ohio man walked in on his family being held hostage. He was then shot, yet he returned fire, saving him and his family.

    Thousands more examples exist.

    Let’s expose what most gun laws actually do. Chicago, has tough gun laws, yet Chicago leads the nation in crime. Gun laws have one major flaw, as the Chicago model shows: Criminals, don’t have any respect for the law, they don’t even know it exist. This puts law-abiding citizens in harm’s way.

    Here is a perfect example that it matters who has a gun.

    The National Rifle Association has four million armed members. Today, those members murdered no one. As others have said, “Homicide is tied to a willingness to resort to violence, not the mere presence of guns.”

    Ask: Do we as Americans, as human beings, have a right to defend ourselves and our families?
