When Lives are at stake: "Within our country, enacting ?tough? gun laws has consistently increased crime rates versus areas where gun laws were ?loosened? - the net result is more deaths whenever we ?toughen? gun laws.

Rummel document that genocide, which kills many times more people than criminals do, is unheard of where guns are readily available. As reflected by their documented debates on the issue, the authors of our Bill of Rights, which establishes the balance of power between citizen and government, clearly felt citizen?s individual ownership of firearms was not to be infringed, for it was needed to protect American citizens from their own government, especially from standing armies like our now federalized National Guard. Contemporary world events show such concerns are still valid. We have details of this information and links to other sources on our site, www.KeepAndBearArms.com "
