John Stossel exposes gun control myth

Gun control only controls the guns legally obtained. And even then, it can only place stops so far.
Owning a gun, however, halts crime. Period. A criminal breaks into your home. You shoot said criminal. Crime over.

John Stossel, in this report, shows the myth that gun control actually lowers crime. It doesn't. Not anywhere. They can't show it, they can't prove it, because it isn't true. All liberals can do is repeat a lie often enough until you'll buy it, just like an annoying advertising jingle.



My favorite quote in this video:

"If someone gets into your house, which would you rather have, a handgun or a telephone? You can call the police, if you want, and they'll get there. And they'll take a picture of your dead body. But they can't get there in time to save your life. The first line of defense is you."

In every issue, in every move, liberals/progressives/lefties want individual empowerment and freedom removed. Because you're too ignorant to know what's best for your own life - to run a company, feed your family, buy your vehicle, protect your home. They want you beholden to the government for work, for health care, for a home, for protection, for buying options, for everything. They want government to be your god. And then they want to impose mandatory tithing, only it's far beyond 10 percent.

Big government is enslavement one tiny loss of freedom at a time.
