Wow, been a while since I've written in this but now that I remember it is here, I have decided to write something.

Michael Badnarik, the 2004 Libertarian party Cantidate, has basically the best gun control policy of any cantidates besides Michael Peroutka of the Constitution party:

I sincerely believe that statistical evidence supports the idea that crime increases exponentially wherever gun control is instituted as the governing policy. Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have the strictest gun control policies in the United States. The cities with the highest murder rates are Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. It doesn't take a PhD to be able to draw the proper conclusion from this evidence. England and Australia have recently instituted strict gun control measures, and both countries have seen the statistics on violent crime quadruple. In contrast, I am told that the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a municipal ordinance that requires homeowners to have a firearm available. Home invasions have dropped to less than 10% of their original rate, indicating to me that criminals value their lives more than they value your property.

I know tons of people who own guns, shoot at ranges for practice or fun, hunt various types of animals, and own guns just for the sake of collecting or self-defense.

Why do people want to take this recreational fun away? This would be like saying OH WE ARE SORRY, MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED EACH YEAR BY AMMONIA UNDER YOUR SINK THAN ANYTHING ELSE SO IT HAS TO BE BANNED!

But of course, the American liberals (cough John Kerry cough) wouldn't ever say that because you aren't going to be defending yourself and your home from someone who breaks in with ammonia. You also aren't going to be defending yourself from tyrannical rule, as government is not to ever be trusted.

Anyone blind enough to see gun control is nothing more than one more step towards tyrannical rule has no intelligence whatsoever. Hitler, Stalin, and Castro all agree: GUN CONTROL WORKS.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Be it guns, knives, poison, sporks, or whatever. I could kill someone probably easier with a knife than a gun, and I probably wouldn't get caught either.
