Spencer Howard: We don’t need more gun control, just people control
I have a growing concern that some liberal in Sacramento will inhibit my ability to protect myself from the powerful criminal world. The nationwide average police response time is 10 minutes. Let me ask you this, is 10 minutes long enough to die? I believe so, and you should too. This means the first responder is you, and everyone should have a gun in their house and on their side.
Many arguments include “guns kill people and that’s all they do.” The initial step to fire 99.9 percent of guns is an pushing the trigger, that directs the fault of a bullet firing to the one who pulls the trigger. This statement implies we don’t need gun control, we need people control.
