Gun Control

Well, well. It seems the Supreme Court has learned how to read. They ruled that what the Constitution actually restricts is the liberal nut-jobs who pass laws restricting the ownership of guns for self-protection. The city of Chicago was the impetuous for the ruling. Someone sued it because of its refusal to relax its gun ownership laws.

For whatever reason liberals have always had myopic vision when it comes to guns. They impose bans and restrictions only to have law-abiding citizens be the ones unarmed and in grave danger. Chicago, the city which does not allow guns, murder rate by shooting deaths is out of control. "Citywide, gunshot deaths also were recorded in Hermosa, South Lawndale, West Englewood, West Garfield Park and Woodlawn in the last week...Meanwhile, the city's homicide toll for 2010 surpassed 200 homicides last week,"

Now, I'm not a prophet or anything like that, but I would guess less than .01% of these murders were committed by fully licensed gun owners. But I don't know for certain I'm just guessing.

I do know this - the statistics are overwhelming - where guns are readily available to law abiding citizens the crime rates have precipitous drops. Switzerland, which gives its men between the ages of 21 and 32 an automatic rifle, has such a low gun violence rate it does not bother to keep statistics.

Anyway, I should have my "jump through the hoops" CCW permit soon, and the Mizzus will have hers shortly after that. So, if any screwballs are thinking about harming two old people in Michigan they better reconsider. Here's what they will encounter:

His

Hers

Each of these is loaded with "wad cutters." These are unusual bullets in that they appear to have had their noses shoved in. I've heard what they do to the human body is not pretty. Anyway, we have another surprise for anyone wanting to do us harm and it is one of these.

Ours

So I'm glad to know I am now legal and that any moron dumb enough to try to shoot, rob, steal from, break into my home, hi-jack our cars, or just generally be stupid is in for quite a shock.

It will be interesting to see how fast Chicago's gun crime rate drops once honest people begin arming themselves.
