The Right to Bear Arms

This is another Right you would think was important, after all, it was put as #2. You do not have the right to bear arms unless the Government decides you do. Unless of course you are a criminal, then you can have all the weaponry that you feel you need. After all, you need to protect yourself from that Police Officer that is trying to stop you from earning a living breaking into houses or dealing drugs. You also need to protect yourself from that homeowner that may be illegally possessing a firearm and have the gall to try to stop you from taking what he has collected.

Normal citizens living their daily lives, have no need to own a gun. If you are ever confronted by anything dangerous, all you have to do is call 911. And within minutes (true the number of minutes could vary drastically) the police will arrive to save the day. If someone enters your home with a gun, first, don't worry. I am sure the person is a career criminal and trained at this so you should feel confident you are in good hands. Second, after you call 911 ask the kind criminal to hurry and leave before the police arrive with their guns because you don't want a blood stain on your nice carpet. I am sure some nervous people will worry that the criminal will harm them. Don't worry your pretty little head about that, the police will be there within minutes. You may have to ask nicely so you can use your phone to call 911 then if the criminal does want to hurt you, just ask him nicely to hold on for just a few minutes (while you wait for the police to get there).

Now there are a lot of states that are slacking on the gun control laws. They will let you keep a gun in your home and you can even carry a gun with you if you get a special permit. I know some states you must store the gun separate from the bullets. Again, if someone comes into your home, just ask him to hold on a minute. I am sure he won't mind waiting for you to get your gun loaded so you can protect yourself. Lucky for us, the Federal Government is working on taking care of these slacking states. They will get gun control laws in effect just give them a little time. They have to sneak the laws in unrelated bills otherwise there are some people who "cling to their guns and religion" that don't seem to want to give them up.
