4 Guns
Ians Group
As a group, we all have agreed to stand firmly in the on going use of guns, but with that said we would also like to see the on going growth of gun education and training.
Taken from the article Emily posted.
"In the news, you only hear of the tragedies that come because of guns," he said. "But you don't hear the reports of people who have been saved by them."
Law-abiding people should be allowed to own guns if they take safety courses and only own a gun if they are prepared to kill, he said. Not everyone can handle that responsibility.
"I have never been threatened by an honest citizen who has a gun," Pierce said.
So the 43-year-old salon owner started with a stun gun. But one evening, as she loaded bags into her car at Target, a store worker quietly walked up behind her to get her buggy.
Not realizing his intent, she almost stunned him.
"It made me realize, if I had a gun, what would I do? she said. "There would be too much of a chance I'd be trigger happy because of still being frightened. I realized, no, that was not the answer for me.
The two statements above show exactly how we feel about the gun issue. On point number one, you see that citizens have every right to own a gun and also the right to apply for the proper training in using that gun.
The second point shows a post-traumatic situation, where the woman had already been a target of a crime in where she was car jacked at gun point. Following the car jacking, she realized she needed defense so she decides she wants to purchase a gun, but before doing so she starts off with a stun gun. Now with her emotions all in a blur, she becomes paranoid about everything and almost uses the stun gun on a worker who was simply collecting shopping carts in the parking lot. Now imagine if it was a real gun? This is an example of someone who seeks defense the wrong way, instead of looking in to training and gun lethal/non-lethal education she impulse buys and could have injured somebody.
Law-abiding people should be allowed to own guns if they take safety courses and only own a gun if they are prepared to kill, he said. Not everyone can handle that responsibility.
If the person feels that they do need self-defense, they better be prepared to take the proper courses in training.
