The Gun Laws That Matters

By Janet Cook


Talk about the new firearm laws is all over the news and the internet, but the reality is that most preppers and prepping activities will be largely unaffected. How can that possibly be? Well, let's take a good look at preppers and prepping and how the new gun laws will really affect them.

Look, this is all just philosophical and political banter right now, but in the future, individual gun owners may really need their weapons to protect themselves from the mass mob of takers who've been made weak by the government giving them so many fish to the point that they can no longer fish for themselves. Please consider all this and think on it.

You might say I am way out of line to make that statement, but in my own defense, I'd like to cite; history. I'd like to point out how socialist nations fail. At that point individual gun owners will need to protect their property and family from either the mass mobs, or the government coming after whatever they have left after the government runs out of other people's money to spend.

The debate on gun control includes many issues such as whether restrictions are permissible under the Constitution, and whether gun control laws actually help to control crime. State laws restricting firearms vary and are independent of federal firearms laws, which are surprisingly few compared to the estimated 300 major state firearm laws. In addition, it has been widely estimated that the number of local firearm could be as high as 20,000.

As for preppers, the majority of a prepper's activities don't even involve guns. That is because prepping is primarily about supplying yourself and your family with the items you need to survive a catastrophe for an extended period of time without expecting any help from the government.

Various organizations collect data from the FBI and U. S. Census Bureau to provide some insight into the correlation between firearms and violence in the U. S. Four studies provide the following statistics: In 2010, there were 14,748 murders reported by the FBI, and 9, 958 of those crimes involved a firearm.

There were 31,347 gun-related fatalities which include homicides, legal intervention, suicides, and accidents, in 2009; Approximately 4.3 million victims reported non-lethal crimes including rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault in 2009. An estimated 22% of those crimes involved the use of weapons; and 8% of weapons used were firearms; and

When people buy guns, what kind of background check is done on them? Is the person deemed to be a responsible person and what kind of criteria is this based on? I'm sure that anyone with a record of mental illness would not be able to obtain a gun, but what about people with a history of domestic abuse or violent acts? How thorough is the application process?

Every prepper out there already has firearms and self-defense taken care of. The reason is that, even though food and water are higher on the priority list for prepping, nobody can resist the urge to indulge his prepper fantasies preparing his little arsenal. So all the preppers out there already have this base covered.
