Once Again, Gun Control or Rights

  I believe in the constitution.  I believe in my right to carry a firearm.  To many a firearm is a scary thing because it is automatically assumed the person carrying it is out to kill someone.   It is to the average person what a strong military is to a nation.  It is a display of ability to defend yourself.  It has the same affect today as it did when the constitution was written in 1787.   It mostly causes people to become civil and respectful to each other.  Some ideas are timeless.
  Should everyone carry a gun?  I would have to say probably not.  Should the government be the one who decides?  I would say absolutely not!  That is the job of the individual to talk with friends and family and decide for themselves.  If we were actually a responsible people you would consider it an individual responsibility.
  If everyone is allowed to carry guns at their choosing will there be more gun violence?  Probably for a short period, then I would imagine the number of violent crimes would slowly decrees to a much lower number than we currently see.
  Would the balance of power return between the overseeing all powerful government/gangs and the citizen?  Maybe, I sure would hope so, because at the rate we are going citizen slavery is way to close to becoming a reality for my comfort level.
   The age when the government used to work for the people has come and gone and may never come again if something doesn't correct the balance of power.  Do I advocate violence?  Absolutely not!  Do I advocate taking responsibility for your personal protection and being capable of doing something to end an assault on your person should the occasion occur?  YES
