We need guns to defend ourselves
In recent weeks I've read several letters (mostly from women) on gun control and confiscation. One only need to see what gun control and confiscation did for the crime rate in Australia, up 44%. In 2010-2011 there were 2,796 deaths per month in auto accidents. Do we ban autos?
The FBI reports that there are more people killed with hammers and clubs than with rifles and more killed with hands and fists. It's not if but when ISIS and radical Muslims attack the United States and you will wish you were able to protect yourself and family.
It was reported that in 1943 Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, fleet Admiral and Commander in chief of the imperial Japanese Navy, said “You can not invade the mainland United States, there would be a gun behind every blade of grass.”
