People DO still need guns to protect themselves. As far as I know, weapons makers haven't developed any new type of weapon that maybe...kills with a sound. When guns have been banned in other countries, home invasion crime HAS risen. It's a simple fact. Now, it isn't likely that the U.S. will be invaded, taken over, and ruled with an iron fist. But if it does happen, you better be damn sure I'm gonna do what I can to stop it. Oh, the army will protect us? Not on this budget. What if there is a coup? The military isn't gonna protect us...it's gonna keep us in line. Far fetched as it seems, I still want to ability to do something to protect my freedom. That ability is given to me by firearms. People make the mistake of believing our freedom is set in stone. If we let our guards down, impose silly laws, set up programs that can be described best as FRIGHTENING, our liberty is threatened. Wake up people, just becuase we are the U.S. does not mean we are safe! Wars still take place, communists still exist, as do facists and nazis and other would be tyrants. No matter how many laws you people pass, when it comes down to it, it's doing more harm than good.
