Makes perfect sense to me, although I think if Uncle Sam can pass a simple bill that will just outlaw the sale of assault-type weapons ONLY it mighty appease many of those who are clamoring for emiminating the 2nd Amendment.

WHY GRAMPS CARRIES A GUN
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time
in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and
starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes
too old to take a whoopin.'

I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a
scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see
the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of
government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my
life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in
my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow
afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I
want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of
themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed
thugs, I am inadequate...

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who
make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just
investigate the crime after it happens and then call
someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die
and too old to take an whoopin'....

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and
property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only t
he law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,
please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-
control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is
more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY
ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED
CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!
           
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF
OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL
LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please forward.
