American Gun Ownership: The Positive Impacts of Law-Abiding Citizens Owning Firearms

It’s no secret that mainstream press coverage of gun ownership in the United States tends to be in favor of gun control – especially when those reporting on the topic are not firearm owners themselves. Journalists focus on how many people are killed by guns, how many children get their hands on improperly stored firearms, and how many deranged individuals go on shooting sprees.

This anti-gun news bias is widespread among the “urban elite” who have very little personal experience with guns and yet write for influential newspapers like The New York Times, Washington Post, etc. Despite this bias, law-abiding private citizens owning guns does have positive impacts on American society that often go unreported – many of which are significant.

I will give up my weapons when they give up their armed security, fenced in properties, their security systems, gated communities and all other security measures. I cannot afford these amenities but I can afford a weapon for me and my family. Try and take away my security.

What are they doing to punish the criminal that uses a weapon / illegal weapon? All they want to do is punish legal weapons ownership which is a Constitutional right.

They want to disarm the population.
Governments usually do this just before attacking the population. It makes the attack easier and greatly increases the odds of enslaving the citizenry.
