After a massive manhunt for two escaped convicts ended when they were held at gunpoint by a homeowner, many are saying it’s another example that makes a case for owning a gun for self-defense.
But others continue to say that despite anecdotal evidence like the incident in Tennessee, there are too many guns in the U.S.
The National Rifle Association reported in 2013: “Studies indicate that firearms are used over 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances.” |

| There are not too many firearms in the US, there are too many criminals in the US, which the liberal democrats WON'T prosecute to the full extent of the law, and keep realeasing them early to repeat their violent acts! |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
