On Gun Control

Gun control is suicide for any nation that espouses it. Ask the Brits what they think. Then again, they aren’t all that bright there. India is now the victim of strict gun laws. Look at the facts, and you’ll realize that all attacks that have more than three people killed, are committed in a “gun free” zone. It’s a fact, and it is a fact that screams for right to carry laws in America. Wake the hell up people. Guns save lives, guns maintain liberty, and guns are my path to happiness.

Strict Indian Gun Law Aided Mumbai Terrorists in Attack

(CNSNews.com) – India’s strict gun laws are partly to blame for the success of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, according to the head of an Indian gun rights group and a U.S. expert who has examined the impact of gun laws on crime and terrorism.

Abhijeet Singh, founder of Indians for Guns, told CNSNews.com Tuesday that if the citizens of Mumbai had been allowed to carry guns, terrorists would not have killed as many people as they did–and might have been deterred from attacking in the first place.

In last month’s Mumbai attack, when terrorists armed with AK-47 assault rifles took over two resort hotels, local residents, hotel security guards and even local police were caught empty-handed and unarmed.

Think tank: If each of us carried a gun . . .

. . . we could help to combat terrorism

The firearms massacres that have periodically caused shock and horror around the world have been dwarfed by the Mumbai shootings, in which a handful of gunmen left some 500 people killed or wounded.

For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed the myth of “gun control”. India had some of the strictest firearms laws in the world, going back to the Indian Arms Act of 1878, by which Britain had sought to prevent a recurrence of the Indian Mutiny.

The guns used in last week’s Bombay massacre were all “prohibited weapons” under Indian law, just as they are in Britain. In this country we have seen the irrelevance of such bans (handgun crime, for instance, doubled here within five years of the prohibition of legal pistol ownership), but the largely drug-related nature of most extreme violence here has left most of us with a sheltered awareness of the threat. We have not yet faced a determined and broad-based attack.

Speaking of guns. The Crossroads of the West Gun Show is coming to Ontario on the 3rd and 4th of January. I plan to be there. Woohoo!
