Does Owning A Gun Make You Safer?

The second amendment of the constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. As the specter of gun violence continues in our workplaces, roads and schools, the question keeps arising: do guns keep you safe, or just increase the level of violence?

A Nation Without Weapons, Crime and Hatred is Not a Realistic Goal

Second Amendment Sisters

A nation without weapons, crime and hatred might seem to be an admirable goal, but it is hardly a realistic one, since the criminals among us will never comply. The world has become a smaller place thanks to technology, and the freedom we enjoy allows for a variety of images to play on our television and computer screens. In a free society, it is incumbent on parents to guide their children through any confusion brought about by what they see and hear. It is quite simple - good parenting makes good kids. 

Parental vigilance ensures that children grow up with an ability to tell right from wrong, and to distinguish fantasy and reality. It has been proven that children who learn at an early age that guns are not toys or movie props are more likely to give them the respect they require, and will be unlikely to abuse a firearm in the future. Sadly, in the same schools across the country where kids are being taught the finer points of safe sex, the subject of firearms safety is taboo.
