Why a gun ban can be a bad thing.

In keeping with the posts that have been circulating around the blogosphere, I found this little gem thanks to Doug at Political Pistachio.

Titled "I Want My Rights Back"


Over the last two days, the level of sickening hypocrisy and arrant stupidity of the media has reached depths of nausea that even I did not believe were possible
Chief of these, is a cry to ban all handguns.
This, if done, will leave all the guns in the hands of those who don’t give a rats ass for the laws being clamored for.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia
And a criminal brandishes a shotgun in our faces and robs us in broad daylight.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia
And we are carjacked at gunpoint.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
And as a bank employee, we are threatened with a gun as the bank is robbed.Or shot as we cower on the floor.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
And a woman is shot to death by a maniac, in a real estate agents office.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
In the future, a lunatic who got his guns from an illegal dealer on the streets stalks through an office, slaughtering anyone he sees. I may be next, as he stands there laughing, and my last wish is that I had had a gun to shoot him instead.
But yes, all bad guns are “bad” and we have lots of gun laws to keep us safe. The government will pass lots more, and ensure we are never allowed to have a gun.
If you have the nerve to defend yourself, expect to wind up in jail when the criminal sues you.
We keep telling ourselves how safe we are, thanks to all of those gun laws…until an armed home invasion gang smashes down the front door.
Don’t let them do this to you.
Please.
