Countries that don’t allow its citizens to own guns and how the crime rate in those countries are lower than ours...

Funny thing is they always leave out Switzerland, where
ex-military people are required to keep a gun. Switzerland’s crime rate is extremely low, despite the massive amount of guns there.

The real reason that the crime rate is so low is that the Swiss just don’t put up with crime. They simply will not tolerate it. We could learn a lesson from them.

For some reason this nation has been led down the primrose path of simplistic thinking when it comes to placing blame. Cigarettes cause cancer, blame the tobacco company, not the smoker.

Now I know cigarettes are killers and goodness knows I’m not taking up for the tobacco companies, but let’s face it, who is to blame? The people who make the cigarette or the person who smokes it?

If you drink a jug of battery acid do you sue the manufacturer?
After all, the warning is right on the package. Well the warning
about the harm cigarettes can do to you is right on the package too.

I know how hard it is to stop smoking. I quit a four to five pack a day habit in 1967. It’s a terrible addiction and one I would strongly advise anyone to avoid but there will always be temptations and it’s up to the individual to avoid them.

If you shut down every tobacco company in America people would still find a way to smoke. There would be a thriving black market.

The same thing is true of guns.

I'm an avid supporter of Guns... I just want to know why the Democrats are so against it and if someone can respond to this post with a valid argument.
