More guns will make us safer……

IF EVERYONE WAS ARMED, WE’D BE SAFER!

“Authorities in Georgia are searching for suspects in the shooting death of a gun enthusiast and weapons expert who managed a popular YouTube channel showcasing high-powered guns and explosives. 

Keith Ratliff, 32, who helped operate FPSRussia firearms channel on YouTube, was found dead inside his Carnesville, Ga., office on Jan. 3 from a single gunshot wound to the head.”

According to the recent NRA bluster about more guns (even in schools!) being necessary to prevent gun crime, there’s no way this guy should have been able to be shot! He was a gun advocate, well trained in the use of weapons, and was found surrounded by his guns. Suicide has been ruled out as a cause of death.

I have stated many times that if someone really wants to kill you, and you don’t know they are coming for you, it doesn’t matter how well armed you are. They will succeed.

His own statement made after the Aurora shooting points to the “savior complex” exhibited by more than a few gun owners:

“I went to the movies with my pistol in my pocket the whole time I was praying that somebody would try to pull a Batman!”

The gun lobby and its proponents can lobby themselves blue on the idea that regulating guns won’t solve gun crime, and they’d be mostly right. But it’s also abundantly clear that more guns don’t prevent killing. If they did, this man would still be alive. If fact, he didn’t even get a single shot off in self defense.

Food for thought….!

I am posting a Fox News link, lest I be accused of using a source with a liberal bias.
