It isnt a surprise that our country enjoys focusing on frivolous topics like gay marriage and gun control when we have more serious matters to attend to. Truth be told, what affects the most people is what our government should concerned with at present. To the topic, One thing is certain, “People who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.”

Frivolous? If your ability to deter an attack on you or your loved ones was taken away by misguided popular posturing, I think frivolous is the last thing I would call it. We are in a time where the powers in Wahington are looking to radically change this country, and rights be damned. I want to be able to voice my disagreement without fear of that government. I want the ability to defend my family. Remember, police are reactive, they can only help you after the fact, and if that means that I have to be defenseless while it happens, then something is backwards, something is wrong.
This article points out that gun control will not deter crime, but that having the means to defend yourself will.
