We Conservatives believe excessive restrictions of firearms harm the innocent far more than they do the guilty. Revoking the citizenry’s ability to defend itself does not reduce crime nor does it weaken the power of the wicked. Instead, those immersed in evil will relentlessly and successfully obtain the very weapons the ruling class would rather the citizens not acquire, leaving the innocent little more than helpless against evermore sophisticated and violent crimes.
