Chissy you cannot have them protecting you while they are bringing in more terrorists and taking away the guns to protect yourself.
That makes no sense to me. Without proper security measures in tact not letting muslims in the country won't really stop terrorism. Most are usually in the country already. The terrorist in France was there since 2005. You having a gun would not protect you from most terrorist attacks anyway. Countries that don't have guns have terrorists attacks and countries who do have guns have terrorist attacks. The key is finding and intercepting any plans. Someone with a bomb in a backpack isn't going to be hindered by your gun. All these government conspiracy theories have their own agenda and it's pretty obvious. You don't want your guns taken away. That's what it boils down to. I have absolutely no fear of being in a situation where I'm going to be shooting a terrorist. It just doesn't happen that way. It happens when people are caught off guard and the deed is done before you even get your gun out. It's all about just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It is obvious that the government cannot stop these terrorist attacks. All they seem to do is take away your freedoms. I posted two pictures that show the truck and if I would have had a gun in that situation by bullet would have been in the location where the driver of the truck was and not everywhere else like they did. Like all other terrorist attack they usually don’t happen when the person first gets into the country it takes years to set it up. The terrorist being brought into the US will probably be active 5 – 10 years from now. Banning one type of weapon means nothing because they will use something else. Inviting people who have a complexly different mindset into your country is only asking for trouble.
I'm pretty sure the average Joe isn't going to stop terrorists either. Half this country has a different mindset. All I hear is the same rhetoric and it's usually from the far right. For someone who has been pro gun all her life, all this does is change my mind about owning guns. I feel my rights being violated living in fear not of terrorists but of crazy gun owners. How many alcoholics have Guns? Probably too many. Very few are responsible enough in my opinion to be walking around with guns. I would only trust women with guns, we seem to be more responsible and cautious. I absolutely positively can't abide vigilantes or any militia type scenarios. I would rather be at the mercy of the government than that possibility. Are you allowed to carry guns in the Dominican Republic? Just curious. I haven't really thought too much about citizens having the right to own guns until everything got so ugly and so hateful. I've kind of always thought that yes, a gun in your home for self defense against an intruder is okay but I see things going further than that and that's what scares me.
Yes you can get permission to carry guns here and most x military and police do. I myself do not have a gun but know where I could get one very fast.
