Gun opponents continue to rail against gun ownership after each mass shooting but few noted that gun violence is far less in areas with reduced restrictions on gun ownership. As more people own guns, criminals are more cautious about confronting people who might be armed. By contrast, the rate of gun violence is far higher in areas with increased restrictions where fewer people own guns, and criminals feel safer confronting people. In addition, rates of violence using knives and now acid are rising as criminals turn to other means when guns aren’t available. Great Britain first restricted carrying knives and now they are seeking to ban carrying corrosive acid in public. Taking guns away from innocent people will not solve the problem since criminals will still have guns. People are easy prey when they cannot defend themselves. You have to understand the real cause of a problem before you can solve it.

Violence & Social Strife-4-A
Liberals keep accusing Israel of attacking its neighbors and are calling on Israel to stop. Anybody with any brains knows that a child does not attack a roomful of adult bullies and expect to walk away. Israel is a small nation surrounded by large vicious neighbors who are threatening verbally and publicly to wipe it off the face of the earth. You do not hear that kind of talk from Israel about its neighbors. It has no designs on its neighbors, it just wants to be left alone. God gave the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants. While the Jews populated Israel, it flourished. When Israel was destroyed in 70 AD, the Arabs moved in and took over. The Arabs did not care for the land and a lot of it returned to desert. Since the Jews returned to Israel, the desert has blossomed again, and it has become very prosperous because God has blessed it and protected it. The Jews allowed the Arabs to continue living in Israel and there was peace between them until the Palestinians told the Arabs to leave because they were going to wipe out Israel and kill all the Jews. The Arabs launched the Seven Day War to wipe out Israel, but Israel was able to drive back the attack and defeat them, because God protected them. Many Arabs are homeless today because the Palestinians told them to leave Israel so they could wipe out the Jews, not because the Jews forced them to. Liberals have rewritten history to make Israel the bad guy but they cannot rewrite the memories of those who lived through it.
