Guns unquestionably provide the greatest measure of safety for either the weak or the strong; rich or the poor; for the person living in the country side far removed from a police station, or the city dweller; and also the law abiding individual needing to defend himself against either an armed criminal, or against the overwhelming force of a potential future tyrannical government (which is the very reason our wise founding fathers gave us our precious second amendment.)<br \/>\nBelieve me when I say this: Criminals certainly won&#8217;t ever be giving up their unregistered guns, and neither should you give up your legally owned firearm.
