Gun Control?

As of today we have yet another shooting. I am not at all against guns. We have the 2nd amendment which I agree with although I believe there are many who have perverted it. I believe many cases (not all) the problem is the media.

As soon as there is a horrible firearm related crime, the media covers it to the point od absurdity. The public certainly has the right to know what is going on but the level of detail is ridiculous. We have had a number of shootings since the horrible day in Connecticut and I believe that the follow-up shooting were at least in part caused by the media.

Right after these shootings, because of the coverage, many people go right out and buy as many weapons as they can afford because they assume from the news coverage that it will happen local to them next and people then see anything as a problem that could be life threatening and they break out the weapons.

One thing I am absolutely against is high capacity magazines in civilian settings. I was a hunter for years. I would have been terribly embarrassed  by needing more than 2 MAYBE 3 rounds when hunting. If you need a 30 or more round magazine then you suck as a hunter and you should not be allowed to even touch a weapon because is you need that many rounds when hunting then you have no idea where your rounds are going downrange and I sure as hell don’t want to be out in the woods with someone like you doing the spray and pray thing hoping to perhaps kill something edible.

Feeling safe in todays world!

In today’s world with the economy still doing horribly despite what Washington says, and with Bin Laden having been killed and the specter of possible retaliation hanging over our heads it would be completely natural to feel somewhat insecure.

Depending on where you live of course you may be at more or less risk that the average person. If you are in a gated community or an area with frequent roving patrols then you probably already have an alarm. If not then you should certainly take a look at Home Alarm Systems.

For those in less secure areas such as myself, an alarm could be invaluable. It would be wise to take a look at Home Alarm Systems. Since we still have millions out of work and jobs are just starting to trickle in it will be a while till there is enough employment to help stem the tide of crime when those who are out of work get desperate and take any chance at all to get money.

Home Alarm Systems is a reliable and reputable company and I am comfortable with mentioning them to you. You of course must do your due diligence and research for yourself but I believe you will find that Home Alarm Systems will do the job for you.
