: Ten Really Good Reasons to Ban Guns, by Bruce Gold : Guns are used in self-defense over 2 million times a : year. However, this makes the attempted crime a : "non-event," which necessarily complicates the police : investigation. Without civilian ownership of guns, these : Police investigations would not have been compromised. : Civilians should leave crime prevention to the police : who are properly equipped to investigate following the : crime's completion. : Some .004% (4/1000 of 1%) of guns are used in crime each : year. This is way too high. All guns should be banned. : Guns are unnecessary. In 98% of civilian gun defenses, : no shot is fired. If you are not going to fire a shot, : you clearly don't need a gun. This proves that the guns : are unnecessary. Banning guns will prevent these : unnecessary defenses. : Guns cause criminal migration. In tough-gun-law : Washington [D.C.], violent crime rates are very high. This : high crime rate is caused by the migration of criminals : from gun havens like Virginia. This migration is caused by : the criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed householders : and concealed carry civilians. This criminal migration is : detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in no-gun areas : and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere. : Most gun crimes are committed by inner-city gangs and : drug dealers. These relatively small and geographically : restricted groups consistently commit the majority of gun : crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over drug : war changes. The best way to prevent this is by denying : guns to all law-abiding people everywhere. : No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or : murder. The police will protect them by investigating the : crime after the fact. Remember, police paperwork is all : the protection anyone really needs. : Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens : should completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do : so is an invariable sign of improper and overly independent : attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and : depend on the authorities is excessive democracy and sends : a bad message to children. : Guns owners engaging in self-defense are taking the law into : their own hands. This is wrong. Only the police and criminals : have the right to take the law into their own hands. It should : be kept out of the hands of citizens. : Children and young people should remain ignorant about guns. : Real guns and real gun knowledge dissipates the fantasies : created by violent video games and TV. Ignorance once lost, : can never be restored and needs to be protected. Not to : mention the lost sales of all the violent movies, TV shows, : video games and etc! : Guns reduce people's reliance on the police and government. : This fosters a mistaken belief in "rights." No person has the : right to question authority. No person should be less then 100% : dependent on authority. This is fundamental to social order. : Banning guns will help to establish the Order the authorities : want. This is good.
