Gun Control Hypocrisy
Written by Dan White

For most Americans, guns are not a political issue. People buy and own guns to protect their families, not to commit crimes. The truth is that even millions of Americans who support and vote for gun control own guns themselves, because deep down they share the basic human need to feel secure in their homes.
The truth shall set you free. This quote was the opening paragraph in an article in yesterday's Hawaii Reporter, which was written by Texas Congressman Ron Paul(R).
From Rosie O'Donnell's armed bodyguards to Dianne Feinstein holding one of the only ccw licenses in San Francisco, the anti-gun world is rife with pundits who don't practice what they preach.
What is it about these people that make them believe that guns are perfectly ok for protection, as long as it is their guns; and that you can't be trusted with yours?
Do they believe their lives are more important than yours? Or is it that they believe they are the only ones capable of handling such a responsibility? It says a lot about their views about the "common folk" when they exercise a right they daily try to deny you.
Disarming the average law abiding citizen does nothing to make society as a whole safer. Rendering a person defenseless only serves to make the individual less safe. Whether in their home or out in public.
A story was recently run on this site about a local dentist who was found murdered. His body was dumped in another city, but there was blood inside his office which seemed to indicate the murder began there. On his front door was a "no guns allowed" sign. The harsh truth is that the sign didn't save him. Having his own gun might have. Not having one was his choice. Putting up a sign denied other people the right to make that choice for themselves.
But, at least he practiced what he believed. Not all who oppose to your guns are as honest.
