Time for a Gun Rant

According to BBC, numerous people, including myself, believe that the idea of "gun-free zones" is utterly ridiculous. One woman, named Suzanna Hupp, had gone to a diner with her parents in Texas. She had the legal right to carry a concealed handgun, but due to the laws in Texas, she could not carry her firearm into the public restaurant. I could state the obvious here and say, "What is the point of having a firearm if the idiotic state legislature does not allow someone to carry it to protect one's self," but I will pretend for about three seconds that the state government of Texas knows what they are doing. Hupp's handgun was approximately 100 feet away in the truck that her family had driven down to the restaurant. Sadly, a man walked in without any confrontation and began shooting. He consecutively shot 32 individuals that just wanted to live their lives and eat a good meal, including both of Hupp's parents. After the incident, she has been heard saying, "Nobody could have stopped that guy from the first couple of murders but it sure wouldn't have been a body bag total of 32." This is the kind of actions that happen in gun-free zones that anti-gunners refuse to acknowledge. A criminal who wishes to rack up the body count will search for such areas that are free of firearms, as they know that there will be practically no resistance once the bullets start flying. May I remind you of the shooting at Aurora. The shooter did not go to the theater that was closest to him, nor the one with most amount of people; he went to the theater that banned firearms. The states with more citizens owning firearms has been proven to lower the amount of crime that happens in those states. States such as California and New York have a far greater murder rate, ranked up as high as 1,811 and 816 in 2010, respectively, compared to Kentucky and Maine, which only had 180 and 24 in 2010, respectively. Obviously, the states with the greater crime rates have much less gun ownership due to the simple fact that a criminal is less tempted to attack an area if they even think that they could possibly die before killing others. If you were a criminal, would you attack a mall or public building if you even had the thought that there were law abiding citizens with handguns there to put an end to your killing spree before the police arrive? However, many anti-gunners are blinded by a bias against firearms that is unsound and also fueled by incorrect information. In "The Five's" video, "Why 'gun-free zone' is liberal for 'sitting duck'," practically all of the members state that they know firearms save lives, but of course, there is always that one person who is blind to the truth. One of the members, named Juan, said "the truth" (sarcasm) about how most firearms are used in America. Of course, his information was incorrect, so another member had to jump in and correct him. I wish there were more people who were in the media that knew what they were talking about when it came to firearms, then maybe people would not be influenced by the incorrect and idiotic media. Not to mention, the second amendment protect the media's beloved first amendment, as without citizens defending others with firearms, tyrannical individuals could easily take over or kill all those without firearms. No matter what someone's opinion is on owning firearms, once I become 21 and can purchase a handgun, I will never be seen in public without my carry handgun. Just remember, you have the right to not own a gun and call the police, and then they can show up at your house and take a picture of your body because you could not protect yourself.
