What about exercising the rights you’re given responsibly? Maybe these liberals, in your opinion, weren’t getting to the central point of the issue, which was rampant crime. However, it’s not about banning or eliminating firearms, but being able to use them in a way that doesn’t endanger you or anyone else. I know people that use guns responsibly and safely, so everyone can and should follow that example.

@Dash really? that really made me LOL. “i love guns i like aiming it at peoples faces when they try to attack us” i tottaly disagree because someone might rob u and find a gun then shoot u. bringing a gun outside is risking your life. if you didnt have a gun when u get mugged u wont die. they wouldnt have shot u in the first place.

While I agree that gun control is dangerous, it appears that this is advocating living like pulp fiction vigilantes.

Hi Jim,

Enjoyed your article, but I have two questions. Are there laws in Maryland that absolutely prevented Dwight from owning a gun? I’m not talking about a waiting period or background check that, once completed, would allow him to purchase a gun, but an outright, absolute ban on owning any type of gun. The other question is do you know if Dwight chose not to own a gun.

Thanks!

The most of the people that are against guns are HYPOCRITES in such a way that they actually believe in what they are saying. And they have the stats to back them up too , Right?
Well I’m here to tell you that you are HYPOCRITES, because if you want some real studies here we go.
Automobiles cause the most deaths in this country 43,000 of them
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there are about 43,000 people killed in fatal car accidents each year in the United States.
Roughly, 40 percent of the fatal crashes are alcohol-related. In addition to fatal accidents, about 2.9 million people are injured each year.

The gun stats that you are always showing are results from ALL gun actions including ;
Self Defense (Justifiable)
Murder (Because they had no way to protect themselves).
Accidental (3% were accidents)
Police Shootings. (2% were “legal killings”, such as when police officers do the shooting in the course of duty.)
Half of Gun Deaths Are Suicides and they would still have committed the act if gun were not a tool.
Statistics are available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicides accounted for 55% of the nation’s nearly 31,000 firearm deaths.
In the same year, 40% of deaths were homicides, 3% were accidents and the remaining 2% were “legal killings”, such as when police officers do the shooting in the course of duty.

So do us all a FAVOR and start walking ever where you go because Automobiles kill more than gun’s ever will, so go and punish those people that don’t drink and drive, because Automobiles kill more people than gun’s so that should make them a PRIORITY and ban them.
OOPS that’s right you feel you have a RIGHT to be able to own one of those and even drive one because you need to be able to travel around for what ever reason you have and because you like them it is 100% fine in that case right . And ban drinking and driving too while your at it. Oh wait a minute they already did but the Criminals are still killing people aren’t they because your way IS NOT WORKING AND IT NEVER WILL.PERIOD
Well like I said before to you ignorant people that keep trying to take away a law abiding citizens rights. YOU JUST CAN’T FIX STUPID……

GOD BLESS AMERICA.
