history in the making
...my brothers own three guns. There aren’t many things my family and I would rather do than go out hunting. We wouldn’t be able to do this without guns. If Gore were elected to be our president there would be a big chance that we would all lose our guns. He wants to put so many restrictions on buying and selling guns that it would be virtually impossible to get one. Now he may or may not be able to accomplish that, but he will surely push the issues during his whole presidency until he gets his way. Even with a Republican legislature, it can happen. Clinton succeeded in pushing a couple laws through Congress dealing with gun control. They might not have been all that big of a deal to us, but it is a start for the Democrats.

This is exactly what happened to Germany when Hitler started taking over. He took the peoples rights and then took over the country. This is what could happen if things really went bad. We probably won’t have to worry about that happening, but harsh gun control laws could ruin the hunting tradition for me and my family and future family. We can’t let this happen. There are billions of people who love to hunt just like I do, and people who support gun control are trying to take hunting away from us. There are some other effects of gun control that could come back on those who try to enforce them. Trying to take guns away from people who have had them and used them their whole lives for nothing more than to hunt and sport shooting could result in a lot of u...
