Barack Obama and his Washington henchmen were quick to holler about gun control after Cedric Ford went on a shooting rampage in Hesston, Kansas last Thursday. They want to pile on more laws.
Well, this case exemplifies what we gun owners have been saying for years now: more laws will only hurt the legal, honest gun-toting citizen; they won't do anything to stop the criminal or the terrorist. In fact, such laws, if obeyed, may leave us defenseless.
If laws work so well in controlling gun violence, why did Ford, a convicted felon barred from even putting his hands on a gun... why was he carrying an assault-style rifle and a pistol when the law says he can't? Shouldn't they be charging the cops for dereliction of duty, because they didn't keep Ford from having guns?
Get real.
The fact is, the whole disaster could have been prevented if someone with a concealed weapon and permit had been around when the first shots were fired by Ford. In fact, in August of 2015, the Kansas Governor signed a new law that allows Kansans who have gone through training to carry a concealed weapon without a permit!
But, I assert that all of the current and potential gun-control laws in the country would not have prevented Ford from getting his guns or from going on a killing spree. All such laws do is get in the way of the 99.9% of those of us who have owned and carried guns for years without harming so much as a flea.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
