With all the cries again to have more gun controls, it is time to have a few gun facts. First of course, is guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Every year there are people killed by numerous means - clubs, knives, cars, poison, beaten by fist, strangled, suffocated, and the list goes on and on.
Guns are no more than a tool, created for hunting, self-defense and sport shooting. Every year millions enjoy hunting and sport shooting - just like golf. And, every year there are those that must use a gun for self-defense, or to stop or prevent a crime. Facts are that some people don’t want other people killing them or someone else, so they use a gun to stop them.
When you hear the anti-gun people on TV shout about a gun that shoots 600 rounds per minute, don’t get all excited. Some rifles hold 30 rounds max - not 600. That’s about 3 seconds worth, and at that speed, accuracy goes away. Rifles fired at 600 rounds per minute would melt the barrel very quickly.
I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating, "If all guns were banned, or if everyone was required to carry a gun, the shooting in Las Vegas would have happened.
There is a people problem, not a gun problem.
