What Are You Afraid Of?

We are all afraid of something. Be it the dark, ghosts, your gym teacher, or say a gun. Irrational fear of inanimate objects is a huge fear that has been sweeping the liberal nation for years now.

The liberals fear guns. They want gun control. But why are they afraid of guns? Some say it is simple, guns kill people. People cannot be trusted with guns.

But why guns? Naturally over the years they have been hyped to be scary and dangerous. What is so scary about guns and unscary about others. Let's take cars. In the year 1995 (last available study) cars were the cause of 43,900 deaths, this while guns were the cause of only 1,400 deaths. In a given years studies show that only 1.7% of crimes involve guns. clearly cars can be just as if not more dangerous that guns.

If you look in kitchen supply sections in stores and search for knives you'll be shocked at what kind of knives are being sold for low prices. Butcher's knives? you should see the 15 inch piercing sharp knife we own for cutting meat. But you would never question weather that is safe or not. All we care about are guns.

Why are guns so scary? i could just as easily kill some one with a switch blade or an axe as with a gun. So yes this is simply irrational fear. by nature guns are scary to us, but then we think nothing of chain saws, or razors or even something as simple as a stick.

This is an irrational fear that the people have and it's time we realize how stupid it is. Take away guns, i still have a machete.

There is no point in banning guns. It is senseless to implement a law to prevent criminals who aren't going to obide by a gun controlrule. The people who they are trying to stop break laws. This is just another law they break. And it takes away the right of people to defend themselves making them more vulnerable to guns and criminals.

Now that's something worth being scared about.
