No Tragedies…Please!

Handgun ownership is a terric and special American luxury. It does, however, carry extraordinary responsibilities. About

15,000 people are killed by rearms each year, most are the result of homicides. About 1,000 accidental deaths occur each

year due to rearms, often involving children.

Well over 200,000 people die each year due to mistakes made by medical doctors. Approximately 50,000 people die each

year in automobile accidents. When looking at cause of death in the United States, rearms don’t make it into the top ten or

even top twenty. We could go on for hours quoting statistics, but it is futile. Liberal ideology will always encourage transfer of

power from citizens to government. Your right to own rearms is offensive to their values whether or not the death statistic

was one per year or one million per year.

Our leftist friends would like you to believe rearms are a leading cause of death in the U. S.

As responsible handgun owners we must always protect the possession of our rearms. Children must handle rearms only

with close adult supervision, and we must be exceedingly familiar with the operation and capabilities of our rearms. We must

be competent marksmen and we must be thoroughly knowledgeable of our laws concerning rearms.

Firearms can be an excellent tool for self-protection; however, they are tools only to be used in the direst of circumstances.

Our laws are generally written to allow lethal force only in situations where imminent or immediate danger is at hand. While

the spirit of our law is “innocent until proven guilty”, you can be sure if you use a handgun in self defense, you will be assumed

guilty until you can prove your life or the life of someone you were protecting was in imminent danger.

A handgun should not be displayed in public. If you wish to carry a handgun, you should take the concealed carry courses and

obtain your concealed carry permit. If more Americans did, we would be more secure.
