More guns equaling more safety is a slippery slope, and what makes it so is human blood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
More guns are not the answer to keeping our kids and our communities safer.
Getting guns off the streets does make communities safer. We can't stand here and say because we don't have the perfect solution, we shouldn't try.
To be sure, hunters and sportsmen back gun rights. Beyond that, there are millions who see guns as a defense against fear - fear of criminals breaking into their homes or assaulting them on city streets.
While different states and cities might look to different strategies for protecting public safety, we all can agree on this: we lose too many American lives to gun violence.
There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.
Our nation's blood supply is safer than it's ever been, and it's getting safer as we speak.
I would like to live long enough to see the day when people talk about which guns are the safest.
It is because the people are citizens that they are with safety armed.
I truly believe that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizen's makes our families and our communities more safe, not less safe.
That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
