Ya know a gun is only one type of implement that is capable of causing mass casualties. Someone intent on doing harm could drive a Vehicle into a crowd of people and easily kill a large number. Perhaps for our safety, we should consider a ban on Automobiles and go back to Horses and Buggies. Take away the guns and the Evil will just find another way to accomplish the Deed.
Media causing panic in my own family.
We all know the goal of the Media is to spread FEAR, and misinformation. Well it sure does work.
I will be going home in a few weeks with my family, my sister and her family will be there as well. Last year i persuaded my mom to buy a S&W air weight j-frame for protection. She has ran about 100 rounds through it so when I go up in a few weeks I will be shooting with her and teaching her about it. Im also bringing several pistols and a few rifles for my family to try and have fun with.
So I ask my sister if she would like to go shooting with us when we get there. She freaked, told me I could not bring any of my guns, and that "there will be too many kids, someone will get shot"
I was amazed, the media has brainwashed her into thinking that being in the mere presence of a firearm will cause death and destruction. I told her "I have 15 firearms in my house and my kids are still alive to this day." I even told her not to worry because the guns would be locked up in the car and the ammo would also be in locked separate containers. She did not care, Her fear is real, she practically cried begging me not to bring the guns.
Now she is my younger sister, and I don't listen to her anyways so I will be bringing some guns up. Im just sick of the media hype and how they cause widespread fear and panic. This dang terrorist has once again grabbed the medias attention and they are running wild like they always do. Everyday i see new articles on the EVIL AR-15.
Has the media been successful in turing your family members against firearms as well?
